I realize reminiscing over a film cam slide film is Geezer-like,
for many of the readers here, but Kodachrome 25 and 64,
(the ASA or ISO speed), was the pinnacle of color transparency
film, imo.

I have slides shot in the '60s and '70s, that when projected,
are knockouts, 40 yrs later.

But, it was bound to happen...

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

for the album There Goes Rhymin'Simon, on which the song was recorded:
