THANKFUL MONTH....Day Twenty-Five

 ********************************************

     THANKFUL REFLECTIONS Day 25
Today is down to the wire. My THANKFUL today is for ALL MY BLESSINGS.  I am fortunate, to have many and all them I am indeed truly thankful. 
********************************************
Today is what I consider Thanksgiving Eve. As I review my list of THANKFULS, I realize I have much for which to be thankful.  My thankful today is for the many blessings I have. 
It’s National Jukebox Day.  I love playing the jukebox at clubs/bars. The jukebox does make money for the business. When I was younger you’d get three songs per quarter; now it’s two songs for a dollar and this goes by credits now.  Sometimes a song is one credit and sometimes two.  Now the jukebox is a touch screen and not the old 45RPM records.  You’d push the buttons on which song you wanted on the older device and hope you did not make a mistake. The new systems can actually be activated somehow from an app on your phone.  I am not familiar with this as I don’t use it.  I guess I’m old school I put in my cash and pick out the artist or song. 
How times have changed.  Personally I miss the old jukeboxes.  My acrostic reflects my feelings on the subject.  
The other acrostic is for Terry who has a birthday today. I’m not sure which anniversary of her 21st birthday she’s celebrating today; or what anniversary of her 39th birthday.  
As I mentioned the next few days are short pieces; reason is I’m still working on my ‘spreading cheer’ list and food box list.  
Until tomorrow....have a good day and as always Stay Safe.

Just drop a quarter in the jukebox get three     
      songs 
Unfortunately now it’s two songs for a    
      dollar 
Keeping with times no vinyl records 
      comprise the old machines 
Every club/bar seems to use the digital 
      touch system 
But I will play what is now the new jukebox
Of course it’s a variety of oldies and 
        country 
Xcerts, Suede, Midnight Oil don’t make the 
      cut

Dolly, Elvis, Sinatra and Reba you’ll hear 
         when I pay
A though the new touch system provides 
     many songs by the artist 
 You know I miss the sound of someone      
    yelling “Hey play A-12”
