A 'warning' sign, before entering the 'Loydster Secret Sanctum'!

I've been doing some rearranging of items out in the stairwell that leads up to my little hidey-hole up over the garage, these last couple of weeks. Mostly popping stuff back into frames that I'd had up previously, as well as digging stuff out of storage I'd nearly forgotten about! Now, even MORE GOOFY-GEEKY stuff is hanging up in that area than EVER!

Then, it jumped out at me--- In nearly ALL of the versions of  a 'rumpus room' / 'man-cave' I've had over the years, I've NEVER put up a sign. I mean the type of sign that would let visitors know JUST what kind of 'GEEK-A-ZOID' area they were about to enter!

So---- after a little digging around, I found a previously painted, 1-by-6 inch, by (approximately) 24 inch-long board (oh, as well as a segment of another, metal sign!)--- laid-out some lettering, broke out the 'ol paint-pens.... and: 'WHAM'! Here's what folks will see as they go up (as well as back DOWN!) the stairs that lead up to my little 'Supreme Crime-Fighting Headquarters'!----



Now, whatever visitors I have, on their way up to my little 'Hall of Justice', will know it's the type of place where they'll NO DOUBT, be 'getting their GEEK on'!!!

Loyd's BONUS video-clip!!---#26!!-- They were a ROCKIN' little 4-piece LIVE band too!!



Yes-indeedy, that little band from Liverpool, happens to be one of the Loydster's ALL-TIME favorite groups! While cruising around on the EVER-surprising treasure-trove that is Youtube, I found THIS little gem!

What is REALLY cool about this clip, is actually a couple of things! One, you can actually HEAR them play and sing! MOST of the live clips I've seen over the years,seem like recordings of vast crowds of screaming young girls, the guys silently mouthing their tunes, with their instruments turned OFF!

Second, this clip reminds me--The Beatles were a ROCKIN', TIGHT-and-RIGHT little 4-piece band! Especially in their early years! This tune, from the soundtrack to 'A hard day's night', is absolute PROOF of that! Go ahead, just TRY not to at least bop your head a little and tap your foot while listening to it! I dare  you!!!---


More on the 'Liverpool Lads', and just what all that GREAT music they created (BOTH as a group, and as solo-artists!) means to me, in a future post!
