Welcome to
                  Laura's Music Room.  Relax, pull up a chair, grab a bite to eat from the fridge, and let's visit a spell.
                  I put this
                  room together as a diversion from the hassles and pressures of everyday life.  Originally on MSN Groups, which closed
                  its doors in February of 2009, Laura's Music Room was so named because I own a bunch of websites related to oldies music
                  and the group was meant to act as a portal to them.  In short order, however, the site took off into a direction all
                  its own and ended up with most pages dedicated to content that's traveling around cyberspace via email (such as quizzes and
                  remember-when type essays), with a few original pages - like my salute to the space program and my tribute to Johnny Carson - tossed in.

                  Most of this
                  site's current content had been added between 2003 and 2005.  As more and more news pages materialize, the
                  ratio of new material to old will of course shift.  Updating some of the pages, such as the deleting or replacing of
                  broken links, has now become my focus; but it will be an ongoing process, and I may need help from you, the visitors to this
                  site, who can assist me greatly by using the form on the Contact page to let me know of any nonworking links or content that is obsolete for any reason.
