- Jukebox -

                              Jukebox plays your hit song
                                  Jackpot for just a dime
                                   Jewel in shiny chrome
                                   Juicy colors varnished
                              Joyful tones and rhythm swings
                                  Jive boogie social dance
                                 Journey; the speed of light

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/14/2023 6:37:00 PM So cool . Congrats. I have an old jukebox bit it needs repair and I can't find anyone that does that Login to Reply Terry Flood Date: 9/15/2023 3:34:00 PM In Britain we have a tv show called ‘The Repair Shop’ where they fix up things that people bring in. I’m sure they once did a jukebox. Maybe Google would have some suggestions… but you’ve tried that already… of course you have!

Jerry Brotherton Date: 9/13/2023 6:18:00 PM Do they still have jukeboxes around? You can tell I don't get out much. Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 9/14/2023 1:16:00 AM - The jukebox didn't exist where I grew up ... (on a small island in Norway) ... today you can find modern versions of them ... but not at all like the old ones, Jerry :) - hugs

Joe Dimino Date: 9/13/2023 2:06:00 PM Perfect! The spirit of the 50's was music for dancing, flying loose -- sorry, can't cut modern music -- like rap, it is crap! Flush it.... Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 9/14/2023 1:28:00 AM - The time of the jukebox... I wasn't born, Joe - I agree .. rap, is crap - Many thanks for your comment :) - hugs

Nancy Kaufman Date: 9/13/2023 1:33:00 PM Hi there friend from the north country, Every one is doing this pleiades thing. Is it a fun form of poetry? You did capture the jukebox era quite well and I wish you the best for the contest. I keep thinking pilates when I see it. LOL Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 9/14/2023 1:23:00 AM - There are so many forms I have never tried and never will ... Pleiades is challenging enough for me ... - When I write in my mother tongue I never use a specific form ... I write from my heart, Nancy :) - hugs
