FROM THE DRAFT PILE: Are Any Confessors Former Members of the Highland Park High School Ticket Club?

I'm rummaging through old draft posts that never got posted.  Here's one from 2014.  Kind of a give-up at this point, I know, but the more I thought about it, the more I was interested in the answer.  Let us hear from you if you were in that club or know anything much about it.  

To make up for its brevity, I offer two reds.

Thanks.

Were you or anyone you know a member of the Highland Park High School Ticket Club?  If so, let us hear from you about those heady days.  The Hardline talks about the Club once in awhile, and Corby did today.  One of its alumni runs a website that was the key to raising the money necessary to enable the Foo Fighters to play the small venue in Virginia where Corby had attended the show.  I'd like to hear more.

BLOG INTERRUPTION: Technical Question for Streaming Experts



PRELIMINARY NOTE:  Myrna Loy, today's red, would have been 115 today.

*     *     *

For some years I have done a lot of my Ticket listening on the stream via bluetooth.  I stream from the website -- not from the app -- on my phone.  This has worked great until recently. 

Now I find that when the Ticket website leaves the screen -- let's say I'm out on my bike listening with a bluetooth bud and the screen (but not the stream) goes to sleep -- the stream breaks up into little bits.  No content is lost, but the voices all experience gaps that makes them sound as though they've slooooowed down their talking because of all the little interruptions.  If I turn the phone back on (it was never off, just not displaying anything) and return to the Ticket home page, the stream continues playing normally.

Formerly, the screen would go to sleep and the stream would be unaffected.

Any suggestions?  I'm trying to remember why I decided not to use the app.  Maybe that's the best way to listen to the stream?

Thanking you in advance.

Happy birthday, Myrna.
