Cavalcade of Food: Winter 2025 Window Displays

THAT album cover, which Kevin displays in today's video, was mighty damn risque in 1965, and put Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass on the map.  I well recall the straight boys all lost their minds over this Playboy-style photo.

Your Head Trucker spends a lot of time revisiting past eras, so I can relate to Kevin's interests in old recipes, appliances, furniture, and decor.  And what a collection of stuff he has in his private museum up in Croswell, Michigan!  So many things we or our parents used to own, but which in the course of time have slipped out of our hands.  Certainly brings back memories.

I don't necessarily share all of Kevin's interests in these antiques, but I do admire his presevationist spirit - and am astonished at all the energy he puts into redoing these big window displays throughout the year.  The latest items all have to do with music from the late 50s and early 60s.  Enjoy.

How Music Was Made

Circa 1940. OMG I had no idea - I mean, I knew records started with a master disc from which copies were pressed . . . but all those acids and chemicals and metals and intricate hand labor . . . wow. Could Americans make anything today that required this much work, I wonder?

Take a gander at this little film, boys, and you'll be amazed too, I think.  For several reasons.
