  1. That time I got so frustrated with Jurassic Park on MS-DOS, I made a song out of it 🤣

  2. On this date in 1978 Dire Straits released Sultans of Swing. It was Dire Straits’s first single, one of five songs they’d included on a demo tape they’d made in July 1977. 10 things you might not know about the song.

    #DireStraits you say?
    I have had this honor;
    I was a roommate with a guy just out of HS and before #Infantry who wanted to learn the guitar lead to #SultansOfSwing. He purchased a 45 of the song, put it on the record player and clicked the repeat button, this was 1982. That song played non-stop until the record was so worn that walking into the room started it skipping. It played for around 2 months, 24/7. At night we turned it down to barely audible.
    Still one of my #FavoriteSongs

  5. You get a shiver in the dark
    It's a-raining in the park but meantime...
    South of the river you stop and you hold everything
    A band is blowing Dixie, double four time
    You feel alright when you hear the music ring
    Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
    Coming in out of the rain they hear the jazz go down
    Competition in other places
    Uh... but the horns they blowin' that sound
    Way on down south
    Way on down south
    London town
