Maintenance tonight will require some downtime

[Elad]

GD will be unavailable for probably about 15 - 30 minutes, and the entire site will be unavailable for probably about 10 minutes tonight. The maintenance will begin sometime around midnight eastern tonight.

Thanks for your patience while this work is completed!

1. "Downtown"?

:rofl:

[saltpoint]

4. "Downtown" -- by Petula Clark. Great tune.

I love that song.

[LSK]

7. yeah, now I got an earworm

[saltpoint]

11. I love her other tunes even more. "Don't Sleep in the Subway,"

for example.

I'd lick that song off the floor.

[EFerrari]

14. That may just be a calcium deficiency.

lol

I love all those songs, too. And all those sequined dresses the Supremes wore. Did they have sequins in England? I know they had knees.

[saltpoint]

15. "I know they had knees." sfexpat2000, you are a total riot.

What a great line.

Thanks for giving me a lift here on a cold Friday night.

30. It's that funny time between Christmas and baseball.

What we're supposed to do these weeks besides pay off credit cards, I've never figured out.

Always good to read you.

16. There's an internet radio station that's a favorite of mine...

...it's run by the guy who does the 'Hoffmania!' blog, and it's called Great Big Radio.

http://greatbigradio.com

He runs what he calls 'Retro-Spots' in between blocks of songs, and he's got some great old radio spots - The Who doing a Great Shakes commercial, Jefferson Airplane for White Levis, The Stones doing a Rice Krispies ad (!). He also has one of Pet Clark doing a 'Things go better with Coke' spot.

Worth a listen.

18. Americanstranger, thank you for that link.

Sorry to say I've not heard of it before, but I will definitely roam around and see what's up.

I knew Petula Clark did a Plymouth commercial to the music of "The Beat Goes On," but didn't know about the CocaCola ad.

[americanstranger]

20. It's a great station, OC. You'll enjoy it, I'm sure.

It's like Jack FM, only with cooler songs.

[EFerrari]

24. I remember that Coke commercial!

lol

Omigod, I better make a will soon. Thanks for the link. :)
