Getting the Ball rolling again!

This past week, the McCoy's were kind enough to invite me and a couple of Mike's dentistry buddies up to their Cabin on Mullet lake, just a few miles short of the U.P.
Despite the lackluster weather, it was definitely a memorable experience. Acts of kindness like those exhibited by the McCoys feel mean so much to me these days; I can hardly put it into words. The McCoys have recently purchased a new condo on the lake and it is just gorgeous!

While I was there I got a chance to spend a couple hours in a local junk shop that just so happened to be full of records. And whaddya know it, within the first 5 minutes of being dropped off by the wonderful Stacy McCoy, what record do you think I step over, but one of the best and rarest Modern soul records from West Michigan. Seriously, I had to pause when I bent over to examine the 45, because - for only the second or third time in my life - I thought somebody must be playing a trick on me! It was that surreal that my hands started trembling and I began to worry hat the fellow attending the counter wouldn't sell it to me! All, however turned out fine, and I was able to purchase the Cloudburst 45 for the princely sum of $.50; easily my best 45 find of the year and not a 45 I'm liable to let go of anytime soon.
