| I survived the 70s, with the group hot tub and spa | | | | player â Cherry, Cherry and Red, Red Wine |
| parties, sometimes under the open sky at nights, | | | | were two of my favorites, along with Sweet |
| where the stars, indeed, did shine like a million | | | | Caroline. Iâm a Neil Diamond nut from way |
| fireworks going off at the same time. Neil Diamond | | | | back. |
| played on the cassette player and everyone felt free | | | | Anyway⦠the old hot tub made from a wine |
| enough to talk about anything that came to mind. In | | | | barrel half (or a bit more) would last quite a long |
| those days, a group of friends might drag up an old | | | | time, but if it weathered out a lot, the splinters got |
| half of a wine barrel (Iâm talking about the | | | | to be pretty bad. There tended to be a few more |
| huge ones here), give it a good sanding and stain it | | | | ouches from rough spots, than oohs and ahs from |
| cherry red, like Neil was singing on the cassette | | | | the warm water. |
