Daily Journal (Feb. 26, 2020) Tighten up version

I got a column coming up this weekend that is too long but it’s early. As Mark Twain wrote ‘Sorry this letter was so long. I would have made it shorter if I had more time.’ NOTE: From memory, not exact quote.

So, what I’m writing about is my disappointment that there is not more awareness of Lewy body dementia. The old sore spot was resurrected last week when I received an 82-page, 16,077 word report on Alzheimer’s research. One of those 16K words was Lewy. One!

Again everything, money, publicity, public awareness is focused on Alzheimer’s. We’re going to change that.

Look for it on AL.com Saturday. Even though I went ahead and wrote it too long. Ranted too long. so like my old buddies Archie Bell and his buddies the Drells used to say: Tighten Up.

In other news, I’m gearing up for this Alabama Record Collector’s Association show on March 6 and 7 in Gardendale. I have a table and am ready to sell a portion of MyVinylCountdown.com records. From my eye. There’s a tear.

Here are some records I’m pulling out. I’ll probably put up for sale my A through D’s or E’s, about 150 albums or so. (You can see a list just by scrolling my blog starting from the A’s.)
