Happy Birthday to me!

In honor of my birthday (yes, it's today. Don't ask me how old I am, k? I'm getting to That Age when I might not tell you), I submit more of the birthday cards I saved from decades past.

Cute? Precious?

Yep.



Notice the quality of these pictures has increased dramatically, thanks to my wonderful boyfriend, who is also a photographer. Stay tuned for better pictures!

Old Seattle radio: KSEA

Like audio Valium, KSEA played background music by the Dentist's Office Singers. Great for when you couldn't sleep, it existed in the days before New Age, before Enya, before satellite radio and the Internet gave us a bajillion radio stations to choose from, all tailored Just For You. KSEA was as bland as background music could get.

This site is great for those of you who, like me, are obsessed with old Seattle minutiae. These people remember KUUU, KZAM, KXA, KJET, KYYX, even KING when KING played soft rock and more. I was too young to know what the "more" meant, but I loved that station anyway.

Sorry for the lack of visuals on this one for you Pinterest fans. Hey, we need a Pinterest for music...
