When my children were 2 & 4 they decided to use the plastic tool kit Christmas present I had so thoughtfully purchased to adjust the VCR. When I walked into the room they were both laying face down in front of the VCR with the door up & a large orange plastic screwdriver jammed in it. They both turned to look at me when I walked in & with big smiles said something like,"daddy, we're fixing it". I didn't want to break their spirit so I told them they did a good job but the VCR was beyond repair so I had to buy a new one.
Any funny audiofile stories???
Over the holidays my girlfriend and I went to visit her former neighbors.I had never been to there home before.We were having a drink and great conversation when the gentleman turned the TV off and put in a CD.We continued our conversation but my attention kept drifting off to the music.It was a solo acoustic guitar.Finally after about 2 songs I interupted everybody and I said What are we listening to?The gentleman told me(Brook Williams-Little Lion)Then upon scanning inside his entertainment stand I noticed handles on his components.Now my interest was really peaked.I interupted again and asked what kind of equipment he had.He had some old Carver gear,but the sound was actually pretty sweet and definetely a cut above mass market junk.From this point on you can probably guess what the topic of discussion was.If you guessed gear and music your right.That night I got a crash course on some outstanding folk material,I didn't even know existed.All of the titles he played that night were excellently recorded.We left that night(I had a list of new CD's to buy)and my girlfriend was shaking her head,and said just what you needed an excuse to buy more music.Life is Good.
