I feel like I'm in a Munsters episode

Quite and epic ending on that last one

*an

It's still ongoing, DSM. It's all of Side B.

Munsters had a prog soundtrack? 🧌 I'll have to rewatch that old show.

I was thinking the music during the show

EAS!

That album cover is fun. But why are they each wearing one shoe from a different pair? 👠 👟

Emokson Lake and Mokfield and the North and Wakemok, Bruford ... and Howe

For symmetry, Christine?

70s is a wild time

@BrianD 🤘

You're so right, Brian.

Hangovers were cheaper back then.

Certain leafy plants were not nearly as good, though.

The salad days

Primarily a Mexican import back then, :)

They had acapulco gold last time I was the dispensary 👍
