Hello Old Friend


Tonight I came across an album I hadn't heard in more than twenty years. I was browsing and caught it -thankfully!

Back in college I was heavily into synthesized music and one of the albums I played alot was Jean-Michel Jarre's Oxygene. Wow, does this take me back hearing it! It's such a fantastic experience hearing it on a big rig world's better than so many years ago. It's a powerful emotional experience to relive the joy of the old days and the music.

I'm sure this album won't be for most, but one thing I have found through the years is that synthesized music can be as exquisite as any when heard on a good system. Even though the notes are electronic, they convey character and the better the rig, the more involving and gratifying.

Have you run into any Old Friends lately?

I love to pick up a mint or sealed copy of something I loved in my youth. Just brings me back to good times. Some of them include "Feel the Need" (Detroit Emeralds), "JT" (James Taylor)and "Funky Broadway" (Dyke and the Blazers). I just picked up a copy of "Forget Me Nots" by Patrice Rushin. One of the best bass lines ever played, courtesy of Freddy Washington. I'm smiling just writing about it.
