Vinyl - One Word - WOW!!

People tend to forget about the persistence of vinyl. Maybe that’s to be expected when so focused on sound, but it’s worth mentioning. I was actually listening a few nights ago to one of the first records I ever found. Funkadelic - Maggot Brain. Bought for a dollar. I was 13. About 15 years later I came across one of my first decent digital finds. Pink Floyd - maybe listed under Screaming Abdabs - Vegetable Man. I downloaded it from Napster.  I have no idea where that file is now. The record I still have. My point is that someday, someone is going to cut off the streaming services. Wether it’s due to cost, rights, out of fashion, Trojans, or whatever. If you own it, you’ll always own it. I also have a general issue with my selection being made by popularity - no matter how big the pool. I talk to other DJs in the industry who only use digital services and they all play the same stuff. Sure it takes time and effort to mass a collection, but the trip is half the point.
