One year ago today, we lost my 92-year old father. My brother Bo sat my dad down in early July 2020 and recorded a video. He asked every relative in his family which question(s) they would like answered by my dad about his life. If you knew my dad, you’ll enjoy his responses and maybe be surprised by what he says. Here is the link to watch the 3-hour video with his answers and Thank You for being a part of his life!The West family. -
Today is the last day of my favorite month, September. That means it’s time to celebrate so I’ll share my absolute favorite music video of all time! It’s so epic! To prove my point, I’ll share a few of the many comments posted:
- “He can play the keyboards! He can sing! He can disco dance! He can summon squaws with his laugh! How can modern men measure up to this?“,
- “Many of us will leave this earth with little to show for our passing through, Tommy Seebach has this to be remembered by. I am green with envy“,
- “This is, without a doubt, among the coolest videos ever made! I mean, who is that guy? How can one man BE so groovy?“
Make sure you read the comments as you noticed earlier howspot-on they are!What would you say about this awesome, greatest-of-all-time music video? Please comment with your thoughts…. -

Retro-Tech: According to the adverts – the Panasonic RS-296US could play 2.5 days of music non-stop…that’s roughly the same play time to the ‘1000 songs in your pocket’ that the first 5GB Apple iPod boasted in 2001.NOTE 2.5 days of play time equates to 60 hours which would require 20x 180-min cassettes. Whilst these tapes did exist at one point, 180-minute lengths were also very fragile and best avoided. A more realistic play time is to load this machine up with 20x 90-minute cassettes which gives you 30 hours, and that’s why I refer to the ‘day and a half’ of continuous music at the end of video.

The Antikythera Mechanism I mention at the beginning* is a 2000 year old computer that has been in a number of documentaries – someone has uploaded a BBC video about it here: [Since Deleted]
You may have spotted two special cassettes in the video – a Back to the Future Replica “Edward Van Halen” tape and a Guardians of the Galaxy “Awesome Mix Tape Vol. 1” – both were provided by my good friend Hugo from Walkman Archive – you can find more info on his tapes here:

Spot on!“The high blood sugar could have been caused by a pump malfunction, hormones, stress, illness, wrong dosage, or any number of different things.The fact that things I can’t control can cause this is startling and frustrating. All I can do is try my hardest and hope for the best. But sometimes my best doesn’t cut it.The exhaustion lingers for the rest of the day, but thankfully I’m much better.I feel conquering despite my defeats because even at my weakest points I still fight these unfathomable challenges. These battles are never seen nor felt by anyone besides those who battle diabetes.One that I’ll have to fight more than once.”
