  2. VARIOUS ARTISTS
    All Ears (10 New And Original Hits With A CB Theme)
    1977 U.S. pressing

    Quite the ridiculous record that I just couldn’t pass up, because it looked JUST like my kinda stupid.

    Made for Radio Shack in the mid #70s , this is a collection of songs that all have a CB theme to them.

    Rock, jazz, R&B, gospel, soul… this thing is ALL over the place, but all the songs drive down the Citizens Band 2-Way radio highway.

    In all honesty, there’s some pretty good tunes on here. “Honey Bee (Please Answer Me)” by Randy Goodrum is a particular standout for me, as is “Everybody's Somebody (In Our C.B. World)” by Ed Bernet.

    For only $1.00, I couldn’t go wrong.
    Pretty entertaining shit, straight down to the “Index Of Terms Used By CB’ers” on the back cover.

    10-4, good buddy.
    Over and out.

  3. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    But when thoughts and words are collected and adjusted, and the whole composition at last concluded, it seldom gratifies the author, when he comes coolly and deliberately to review it, with the hopes which had been excited in the fury of the performance: novelty always captivates the mind; as our thoughts rise fresh upon us, we readily believe them just and original, which, when the pleasure of production is over, we find to be mean and common, or borrowed from the works of others, and supplied by memory rather than invention.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1754-03-02), The Adventurer, No. 138
