Comment:

A sentimental journey of sorts, our best combinations were from the late '20s and early '30s for RetroJoe and the late '30s and (very) early '40s for doowad, but the slightly different tastes came together to form what we believe to be a very good overall bouquet, won't you join us on our jaunt down memory lane?

Man, this is really something! LOVED every single second of this creation. I now know what my great grandparents would have been digging if they grew up in America!
