While I was growing up, I would shoot a ton of baskets in our driveway by myself. It's probably why I never became one of the best players in Crete High School history because it was by myself. I never really learned the fine art of shooting over another person that well. (I made the varsity for a couple of years but that was about it). Anyway during that time I had a boombox with a cassette player. I played a lot of music on that boombox but I played one of them a lot -- Van Halen 5150. It probably drove Mr. Tisher (who died last year) crazy as I probably had it turned up a little too loud at times. Best of Both Worlds rocked! But there were a lot of great songs on that cassette. Maybe it was just because I played it over and over and over again so I knew every word of every song. So anyway, I still have the cassette. It is downstairs somewhere amongst a hundred other ones that I will struggle to ever play again without a working cassette boombox. Last night while I was searching for some new music on the web, somehow that album popped up. Divine intervention I like to think. So anyway, I downloaded it and will be able to play it on my mp3 player. How cool is that!
