F9

Beautiful old Wurlitzer decorated the corner of the bar with rainbow lights and bubbles; it was a jukebox time machine.

When I played a song from a certain era, I was transported back to that time to a live concert, but only for that song.

F9. “Not Fade Away.” Buddy Holly. 1957.

G4. “All You Need is Love.” 1967.

D7-G12-J8… It was like musical battleship, and I sailed everywhere for about 3 minutes of glorious musical bliss.

Then the jukebox broke. It was replaced with a flat screen television.

Now, I just drink and watch old movies…and go nowhere.

    Good story — and such a sad little sentence, too: “Then the jukebox broke.”
