When the “today in music history” site lists the 8th of May as Alex Van Halen’s birthday (back right in the striped shirt and holding the drumsticks), let’s just say we’re so there where the hardest job will be picking just a few of the 114 tracks I’ve got in the library! 🙂

Post-Game
I don’t normally repeat tracks if I’m spinning some post-game tunes whilst sorting out the paperwork and packing up the pucks to return them to the cupboard but “I’ll Wait” is not only my favourite track on Van Halen’s “1984” album, it along with the title track were easily amongst the most fun songs to play on my Yamaha DX-7 synthesizer. 🙂
