Tonight I heard the sound

[lewbo]

I was putting my change away tonight, looked at the pennies and then gave the rest a shake to scare the cat and I heard it. You know what I am talking about, looked at the dime first nothing, then the quarters and the last one a 1960! First silver of any kind I have found in the "wild".

[agmoose]

Excellent! Congrats!

[theshoenlebens]

[Sheikh_yer_Bu'Tay]

Some of us hear the sound, others never will.
Kind of like Polar Express. You just have to believe!

Definitely!, got a 64 quarter back in change at a bar, in a little town in the middle of nowhere, last spring, took me a few days for the excitement to wear off.

sounds like the lyrics to a song. Hmmmm.... idea


The Sound of 64

It was early in April
In the middle of nowhere
I found change at a bar
And memories
Of my own youthful Spring

Took me back to the day
When real money was silver
Back to the years
When coins were made
Of the real thing

The excitement I felt then
That sensations still with me
An adrenalin rush
Set my spirit to soaring
Like a bird on the wing

Got some real money? Got any more?
You just never see those pre-1964's

Got some real money? Got any more?
You just never see those pre-1964's

If you've never heard
The sweet sound of
Real money
You'll be amazed
When you first hear it sing

It sounds so
much different
than the clad that we carry now
Instead of a thud
It has a genuine pure ring

In those days
Of my youth
We had real money with real value
Not worthless fiat
Swiftly depreciating

Got some real money? Got any more?
You just never see those pre-1964's

Got some real money? Got any more?
You just never see those pre-1964's



ok, now then... some of you musicians out there set this to music, put it on youtube, and we have a realcent anthem

[Rastatodd]

Ray,
I applaud the lyrics to a fine Realcent anthem. Sounds like a Harry Chapin song.

Thank you, Todd, for your kind words. Now, let's give the musicians a kick in the pants. Contest! Whoever posts the best (determined by membership polling) Youtube song using these lyrics (they can be tweaked a bit if necessary) by mid-April (we'll use tax day) will win....

A full roll of Gem BU 1964 quarters.
