Comment:

Okay, first things first...this collection is NOT an accurate description of my current musical tastes. A little over a year ago, my brother, two sisters and I were going to be reuniting after a long absence...it was going to be the first time all four of us were in the same room since 1993. My brother and I decided that we should put together a couple of mix tapes that were indicative of the last time we all lived together (before the older sisters graduated high school). That was sometime in the mid-seventies, when we lived in France. Because of the times, and the fact that we hadn't really heard much about the more interesting stuff from that era (Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, Patti Smith, etc), we had lots of your typical "classic rock" blaring in the house...this tape (and its companion, "The Pear Tree On The Horizon") has a lot of "moldy oldies" that in many cases, don't age well (but there ARE several "guilty pleasures" buried in there that I still enjoy). The purpose of the tapes was to relive old memories...my brother and I formulated the songlists through extensive e-mails back and forth (I was living in Italy at the time, he's in Florida). The tape went over very well at the reunion (all that alcohol probably didn't hurt, either). The title of this one refers to two things -- dinosaur = classic rock, and Cardinal Retz was the name of a local restaurant near our house where our parents used to eat (sometimes we were allowed to go with them if we were well-behaved).
