DMCubing | My Original 1980 Rubik's Cube @dmcubing6342 | Uploaded October 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Just a short video showing my original, first US issue, Rubik's cube. I bought it in 1980 at the age of 16. Like so many people at the time, I played with it, and tried and tried to solve it, but to no avail! Timing probably wasn't really good for me at the time: I had started a part-time job, started driving, and was constantly busy with high school band, so eventually the cube was put aside. I've always loved this old cube,. I keep it display in a baseball cube (a clear plastic cube used for storing baseballs). And I've always loved Rubik's cubes, how they look and how they work. This has always fascinated me! Hope you enjoy this look at a vintage cube. Thanks for watching! Happy cubing!

Totally non-cubing related. (Skip over if you dont like jazz music or dont want to see me play my trumpet!).
In New Orleans, second line parades start with the sound from a lone trumpet. He signals three times- often theres a response from the crowd to each of his three signals. Then the music starts! The festivities begin! The parade rolls! Its Mardi Gras time! Laissez les bons temps roule!
Heres my take on the second line standard, Joe Averys Blues to usher in the start of Mardi Gras 2018 here in Louisiana!
Happy Mardi Gras to all my subscribers!
You may have heard a small segment of this before, since I use a tiny excerpt for the intro music to my cubing videos! ;-) Heres the entire tune. I think I posted it before to my cubing channel last February, but Ive quite a few more new subs since then.
Whats nice about living in Louisiana is there really isnt much of a break between Christmas and Mardi Gras season. It seems one flows right into the other. As a matter of fact, some people keep their Christmas trees out and change the decorations to purple, green, and gold colors, the colors of Mardi Gras! We even have purple, green, and gold wreathes we hang on our doors and windows! :-)
Heres my buddy, Wynton Marsalis teaching the tune to school children in Africa: https://youtu.be/rMsbbMwMVQY
