Nice thred Tireguy. In the late '50s, my two year older sister had pretty much commandeered my folks Zenith 45 RPM record player, and she bought Gene Vincent's "Be Bop A lula". I couldn'd get enough of that song, and have loved R&R ever since. And we had 45s of Buddy Holly, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, The Everly Brothers etc. If you be livin', you gotta' have rhythm.
Fast forward to early 90's, and the "post-Bose" era. I was wandering around the music/electronics section of a Fred Meyer Dept. store in Coos Bay, Oregon. They had nothing but CDs-- no LPs, and I was totally fascinated by the silences within the music compared to cheap LP systems. Well, I bought a $250. JVC boombox that played CDs, and half a dozen CDs, one of which was Anne Murray's "Christmas Wishes". I now have a $40K+ digital based stereo system, but every year at Christmas time we still play the Anne Murray CD for hours at a time. It's a beautifully done CD. And BTW, for portable use, we still use the old JVC. Cheers. Craig
