Can you imagine a world without vinyl?


Can you imagine a world without vinyl?
I have been into vinyl for 49 years - since the age of 8 & cannot imagine a world without vinyl.
I started out buying 45's & graduated to 33's (what is now considered LP's).
I have seen 8 tracks come & go, still have a kazillion cassettes, reel to reel & digital cassettes - have both the best redbook player & SACD players available, but must listen to my "LP's" at least 2 hours a day.
I play CD's about 6 hours a day as background music while I'm working, but must get off my butt every now & then & "just listen to real music".
I admit to being a vinyl junkie - wih 7 turntables, 11 cartridges & 8 arms along with 35K albums & 15K 45's.
For all you guys who ask - Is vinyl worth it - the answer is yes!
Just play any CD, cassette, or digital tape with the same version on vinyl & see/hear for yourself.
May take more time & energy (care) to play, but worth it's weight in gold.
Like Mikey says "Try it, you'll like it!"
I love it!

Albert,

I was so sorry to hear you were not feeling well tonight with a stomach virus, and hope you have a speedy recovery. If I recall correctly, there has not been one Tuesday night gathering that you were unable to host through all these years. Am I correct in my memory recollection?

I must tell you that speaking with your son, John, was a privilege. He reminds me so much of you thirty years ago. I could have sworn I had been taken back to 1977 and that was AP on the phone, yet it was your son. It was an honor to speak with such an intelligent and caring human being. I felt an immediate friendship with him, just like I did with you back in 1977.

Please Get Well Soon! See you next week!
