Intense color on these four swirls. 5/8"

Very nice Tommy, those are some good lookin' Akros for sure, I especially like that bottom right one, it looks like it has that deep red transparent glass 🤩 Here are a couple of 21/32" Prize Names

I don't have too many of the larger Spirals 1. Amber Onyx 13/16" 2. Blue Onyx 13/16"

1. Cobalt and Yellow with the transparent striations between 19/32" 2. Red and Green with transparent Blue striations 21/32"

Two nice Brown corks 1. Brown and Tan Special 5/8" 2. Transparent Brown Snake around the outside, darker Brown pigtail through the center of a translucent bubbly base 5/8"

In the first photo, the green based one at the top right is the largest at 23/32" In the second photo, the Orange, Tan, and White is 21/32". The Blue is 5/8" I'm guessing these all fall in the category of West Virginia Swirls After watching the Ravenswood video that Chad posted, I'm suspecting there might be one or two Ravenswoods in here ( hopeful really ).

I grew up in Alaska, so the radio was all I had. There were no live concerts coming to Juneau, Alaska back then I always looked forward to Casey Kasem top 40 Countdown on Sundays!

So this afternoon YouTube 'suggested' the video "The First 12 Minutes of MTV" and that got me back into an 80s music kick, my music as a teenager. I started a playlist, but I spent three hours making this list and I feel like I'm not even halfway there. Here it is: Kiss Me Deadly Lita Ford Close My Eyes Forever Lita Ford and Ozzy Silent Lucidity Queensryche Twilight Zone Golden Earring Pour Some Sugar on Me Def Leppard Panama Van Halen Don’t You Forget About Me Simple Minds Boys of Summer Don Henley The Final Countdown White Snake No One Like You Scorpions One Metallica Enter Sandman Metallica Crazy for You Madonna Lucky Star Madonna Live to Tell Madonna Never Heart These Dreams Heart Two of Hearts Stacey Q West End Girls Pet Shop Boys Wild Wild West The Escape Club Fight for Your Right Beastie Boys Gangsters Paradise Coolio Heart and Soul T’Pau We Built This City Starship Love Bites Def Leppard Once Bitten Twice Shy Great White Save Your Love Great White Keep Your Hands to Yourself Georgia Satellites Ship of Fools Robert Plant Addicted to Love Robert Palmer Glory of Love Peter Cetera Right Here Waiting Richard Marx Everything I Do I Do it for You Bryan Adams Summer of 69 Bryan Adams Heaven Bryan Adams Run to You Bryan Adams Red Red Wine UB40 Candle in the Wind Elton John Talk Dirty to Me Poison We Didn’t Start the Fire Billy Joel Piano Man Billy Joel Dancing with Myself Billy Idol White Wedding Billy Idol U Can’t Touch This MC Hammer Thriller Michael Jackson Careless Whisper George Michael Everybody Wants to Rule the World Tears for Fears Crazy for You Madonna St. Elmo’s Fire John Parr Neutron Dance The Pointer Sisters Never Surrender Corey Hart Sunglasses at Night Corey Hart Cruel Summer Banarama Venus Banarama Raspberry Beret Prince Material Girl Madonna Born in the USA Bruce Springsteen 99 Luft Ballons Nena Puttin on the Ritz Taco Sweet Dreams Eurythmics Rock Me Amadeus Falco Land of Confusion Genesis Take on Me a-ha Troy Sinead O’Connor Footloose Kenny Loggins Girls Just Want to Have Fun Cyndi Lauper Talking in Your Sleep The Romantics Self Control Laura Branigan Somebody’s Watching Me Rockwell The Warrior Scandal (Patty Smyth) Rock Me Great White Face the Day Great White The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Gordon Lightfoot Money for Nothing Dire Straits You Dropped a Bomb on Me The Gap Band Cum on Feel the Noize Quiet Riot On the Dark Side John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band Major Tom (Coming Home) Peter Schilling The Stroke Billy Squier Everytime You Go Away Paul Young Gonna Make You Sweat C&C Music Factory The Search is Over Survivor Obsession Animotion Better Be Good to Me Tina Turner Head Over Heels Tears For Fears Voices Carry Til Tuesday Would I Lie to You Eurythmics Be Near Me ABC I Can’t Hold Back Survivor I’m on Fire Bruce Springsteen Method of Modern Love Daryl Hall & John Oates All She Wants to do is Dance Don Henley Black Velvet Alannah Myles When I’m With You Sheriff Electric Avenue Eddy Grant Into the Night Benny Mardones Beds Are Burning Midnight Oil Break My Stride Matthew Wilder Too Shy Kajagoogoo Come On Eileen Dexys Midnight Runners Fantasy Aldo Nova Under the Milky Way The Church She’s like the Wind Patrick Swayze Harden My Heart Quarter Flash Always Atlantic Starr Don’t You Want Me The Human League Human The Human League It was definitely fun to search these songs and see some of the music videos again, but wow, blast from the past. Anybody else relate to this list? Or what was your preferred era/style/decade of music? I could probably sing 97% of the lyrics of these songs. Sorry for the length of the list! -Jess
