Very nice. I know James hit his RSD store today. I was thinking about it, to get the Sandy Denny release

Spring cleaning and streaming all day
.OK, TT finally warmed up.

interesting, I was going to play this the other night and couldn’t find it
.looked for 10-15 minutes and gave up. Well well, while cleaning my dining room, which doubles as my LP cleaning area, among other things, I found my ‘lost’ LP under a stack of exterior protective covers, speaker wire, etc. I remembered I had pulled it to clean it, and it got buried with incoming stuff
.Well, I did clean it
.finally.
