This dark image is of me on TV.  I’m in the front row on the left next to the man with a full beard. while singing on PBS Television

I may be losing my voice but I used to have a nice one. I sang harmony well and enjoyed singing along with a local  NYC choral group, and with a rock band, and in the shower.

The activity brought me a lot of joy, but now, my voice sounds like I have a permanent cold. I also used to play music competently, but now I can no longer reach the high notes. It's very difficult to accept this new reality.

Just when I was about to throw out my entire CD collection, I learned some may be wort much more than I paid way back when.

CDs From The '80s, '90s and '00s Are Now Selling For Over $10,000. Reportedly long before you could find all the music you could ever need on the iHeartRadio app, there were CDs. Music lovers would add to their collection any time their favorite bands released an album.

Sorry for this dump. I’m old enough to recall that the most frightening words in the English language have now frighteningly evolved.

As I have previously stated, I'm an NPA (No Political Affiliation) I am not a registered Democrat or Republican although I was recruited by the Regan-Bush administration to serve as Division Chief at the US Information Agency's Spanish-language content arm.

Have you ever suddenly heard a familiar tune or remembered a song over the airwaves that you once thoroughly enjoyed listening to?

These songs used to be played on the radio quite a bit, but have vanished. This artistic sound may not get the attention it once did.

After arriving from Habana, growing up on the East Coast, then living in Miami for years, I moved out west, now to LA and back to NYC.

Some things were easy to adjust to, like the climate and the differences in public transportation.Other things threw me off, like LA's chill attitude and the slower pace of Miami.

The best time to visit is Fall. Tied with Spring, a week-long-if-you’re-lucky, blink-and-you-’ll-miss-it transition from Winter to Summer.

Autumn, with its beautiful colors during the months of October and November, remains the most pleasant season to visit New York City.
