The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #97 – Pastimes
Where to begin. Do I have more than one pastime? That is an easy one to answer, yes.
Did you know I like to photograph nature? Pop “nature” into the search box on my page and maybe you’ll find a few pictures.
Did you know I like to get into the garden? Try garden and see what comes up.
Did you know I enjoy travelling? Travel in the search box may surprise.
Did you know I like cooking? If you search recipe, try one of mine.
Besides all of these, I really enjoy music. As a lot of my posts contain a song which I think is relevant to the theme of the post, a song could be included. A search will bring up too many posts to even think about. I listen to music while writing, cooking or mucking about with my photos. This is playing now
Here is few photos of my music gleaned from older posts
A few of my CD’s
Part of my vinyl collection – 45’s and LP’s
Lots of music magazines
as well as books
Yes I play guitar
One of my first guitars I bought with the money I earned working in a factory while still at school
The last guitar I bought
Well there you go. That’s a bit about me and my pastimes
Love the peek into your life Brian. I’m a music lover as well although no longer have my albums. I used my college graduation money to buy a Martin guitar for my then-fiancé. My grandmother almost killed me LOL!

I love the video montage that accompanies this song. Thanks for sharing it. I still have all my old LP’s and 45’s and cassettes. Unfortunately no way to play them. Do you have Her Satanic Majesty’s Request?

I also have the white album with half of the cover peeled off because there was a rumor that underneath was a photo of them all in the nude that had been banned–thus the white cover. Ha!

Splendid images for the challenge! I’m glad to see the Rolling Stones well-represented on the shelf. They were always my favorites when I was a teenager. I remember seeing them play at our local dance hall before they were famous. I was the only one standing there watching them and I recall going home and telling my parents that I had just seen a great band that I thought would really be going places. You have a nice collection of guitars too. Thank you so much for participating in the challenge.

I am a Rolling Stones nut. Have all their LP’s on vinyl as well a s bootlegs, most of the 45’s all the CD’s released plus the limited editions. Books, videos…..so much. Have only seen the once. Glad it was the right thing for your theme Sue ❤

Absolutely! Just a couple of quick Stones anecdotes; Even my old dad liked them although he was typically a Dixieland jazz fan but I remember my uncle coming over from New Zealand for a visit and almost bursting a blood vessel when he saw them on tv as he thought they were disgusting. Mick Jagger used to shop for fish where my ex worked in London. I remember him telling me how he saw Mick wearing a fur coat in there once. Not something you saw men doing too much in those days.

That’s great. My youngest daughter “discovered” the Stones probably with my playing them a bit in the car and at home. One of her bedroom walls was a shrine to Keef 🙂 🙂

I’ve seen the Stones twice, once in Manchester, and once in Johannesburg.
I have a vinyl bootleg of their Nicaragua benefit concert at the LA Forum!
Is that an Epiphone guitar? And a Fender amp as well?

I don’t know what happened to my old LP’s and 45’s. I left them behind when I moved from New Jersey to here in Florida. Parents had a big yard sale when they moved, so someone out there is the proud owner of a lot of good music.

I sold most of my albums and CDs when I moved to Hawaii, though I still have the digital versions. Music is a good pastime though. I think it’s the most universal language – don’t have to understand the words to appreciate it.
