The Boomer Brakeman & Jazz Player
BOOMER — Drifter who went from one railroad job to another, staying but a short time on each job or each road. Boomers were railroad workers often in big demand because of their wide experience, sometimes blackballed because their tenure of stay was uncertain. The sheet music title reads: “When The Sunset Turns The Oceans Blue To Gold“

She swivels her chair round to a keyboard and Googles it. 1913

The old Marantz, restored to a garage installation. Plays different music then what was once cranked up on the Honky Cat loudness 27 (!) years ago.
Forest for the Trees
Carpet cover by hand. 30 bales. The trick is to stand upwind so as to avoid the dusty fallout.
Rusty Hulk
he belly of the beast was holed like Swiss Cheese. The new AC
evaporator promises not to rain condensate on the belowdecks.
