Thursday Thing-along



This song -- Skateaway -- goes back a couple of decades. Hard to believe it's been that long -- at least for those of us who lived through the 80s and 90s. It's off the Dire Straits album (yes, album) Making Movies that was released in 1980. The video features a girl roller skating and wearing a Sony Walkman. The Walkman was new at the time.

Here is the wikipedia site for Dire Straits.

Thanks Jeffrey. I remember when walkmans first came out. Quite the big deal.

Nice! I don't remember this song for obvious reasons, but I kind of like it.

Thanks for the warning, Son, I didn't watch it. You'll have to tell me later what I missed. ILY
