Great song from the 1970s and memories of days gone by

Eclectic.

Yes it is a real word that I have used occasionally.

No I didn't misspell it (though I am guilty of many misspellings and violations of the rules of grammar in many of my blogs, posts, etc. but I try) pertaining to "electric".

Yes I am an Elvis Presley fan and I enjoy so many of his songs from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Some of which are well known and many others (the vast majority) are exceptional but not widely known by the general public including man Elvis Presley fans.

Back to eclectic. That is how I would describe my musical preferences. If it is of quality, sung with passion and real vocal talent, then odds are I would like it...as my song collection/playlists affirm.

The video of the song "don't pull your love" is one of the songs from my teenage years/youth that I enjoy. Not only do I listen to this song but I have some great memories associated with it. Music, and songs, have the ability to "move" us. To take us back to a certain time, place, event, etc. as is the case with this song.

Though I consider myself, and the IQ tests confirm YIPPEE, intelligent I still (after 52 and soon to be 53 years upon this earth) can't grasp that one's voice can be transferred by a microphone unto vinyl records, online streaming, cds, dvds, etc. Nonetheless I am glad that Edison gave this world, among many he achieved in his lifetime, the gift of recordings.

To think that someone, individually and/or collectively, wrote the words and then added a melody thus creating a song that is associated with a time long ago AND that still is enjoyed is remarkable. Hats off to every song writer, musician, singer, etc. Job well done.

Before I end this post, and thanks for reading, I was captivated by an hour long restoration project involving the largest pipe organ located in Atlantic City (I spend the weekend there once and I have special memories of her - of us - what once was). Here is the trailer via YouTube:

Eclectic.

It applys to my taste in music, among other things, as well as my interests outside of; God, family, friends, passions, everyday life, etc.

The two videos contained in this post are interesting, and involves talented and passionate people, and I hope you concur.

Take care and may God bless you and yours...always.

How to easily replace the belt to a Maytag electric dryer

If you dryer is working, but it is not rotating/moving, odds are that the belt is broken or come loose. To cover your bases you can get a new belt at retail stores like Sears and also online for about $ 12.00.

The tools you will need are a screwdriver (phillips and non-phillips head) and a ratchet with sockets. The "screws" have small heads to them FYI.

Here is a great video that covers 90% of "step by step" instructions and the other 10% (i.e. additional 4 steps) I have outlined in writing below.

The first is to make sure that the belt is around the drum in the right place (i.e. look for a grove or use the black scuffs around the drum and put the belt exactly where the prior black scuffs were). Mine did not have any groove to put the belt on but it went in the middle of the drum and I used the black scuffs as a guide. This step must be done first because if you try to first attach it through the roller pulley, and motor, you will never be able to get the belt around the drum. Second is that you will need to put something under the drum (i used a shoe box) so it is in it's proper place, is level, and wont fall forward. Without this it is almost impossible to thread the belt to the pulley roller and motor. Third is to put the roller pulley (it has a yellowish roller with a black metal "z shaped" design) aligned with the two slots on bottom of dryver and HOLD IT DOWN to the floor of the dryer with your right hand at all times. Then put the belt through the roller pulley (this part is in the video) with your left hand and then put the belt on the motor. Last is to use your hands to slowly turn the top of the drum for about 30 seconds so that you know it works before you reinstall the front and top.
