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.

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.

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.

My moving memories of South Florida when streets were vibrant and full of clubs, hotels, assorted stores, head shops, and street life.

Florida Pop Festivals in the late 60s were touted as the first significant music festivals in the new Sex, Drugs, and Rock'n Roll long with Peace and Love cultural lifestyle.

I was there because I decided to leave my Northeastern lifestyle after attending grammar and high school there to seek higher education and a new beginning at the University of Miami and Florida International University, where I earned my BFA.
