The internet is an amazing collection of information. It's astonishing what you can find if you search for it. It's much more difficult to not find something you search for. Of course there are specific instances of combinations of words that, when put side-by-side inside of quotation marks aren't going to come up in any search. Coming up empty on something you are really trying to find, now that's something.
That's what I'm looking to collect here.
Like this: "HAWAIIAN DIXIELAND" "ALOHA YOU ALL". You may not be familiar with the genre. Hawaiian dixieland was a style that never it beyond a single LP in the mid-'6os. Aloha You All was the premier example of Hawaiian dixieland music. It was a riot. Imagine debarking from a stern-wheeled riverboat at Honolulu and the band -- trombones, trumpets and ukuleles -- playing.
It strikes me that eventually, when the search engines catalogue this page, people looking for exactly the things I haven't found will find them here. Sort of a paradox, isn't it? They haven't been on the net until now and by my complaining that they can't be found, they can be. Kind of like time-travelling into the past and murdering my own grandfather.
