Who R U?


A while back Garfish mentioned he lked the idea of getting to know some of us better.As no one has started a thread like this before I will take the plunge.I have been involved in and read many heated exchanges here in AudioGon.I hope no one attacks me for this thread saying "who cares about you,this is audio" Anyway,Im 45 and live in W.N.Y.I have never been married but have a music loving 11 year old daughter who lives with me.I have been a nurse for 20 years.Before that I was a Navy Corpsman for several years.I recently became engaged (first time) to a beautiful 30 year old music loving woman.At my age a 30 year old is a keeper and I have never been happier!! My other interests??Im into vinyl,who has time for anything else??

tthomas: you are a fortunate man, being able to spend so much time with your sons during their most formative years. i have two sons, as well, tho mine are aged 32 and 28. i hope your boys turn out to be young men in whom you can take as much pride as i do mine. they will, i am sure, be better for having lived with music all their young lives. welcome, and may your days be always filled with the sounds of music amid the voices of those you love. -kelly
Tthomas-lucky you! I second Comfedboy on being fortunate to spend time with your kids. Mine are 17 and 24. The older one is on his own and paying his own bills, while the younger is a senior in high school. Both love my music (mostly classic rock and roll). Watch out if you have any nude styli around - maybe CD is a better choice although sonically inferior to LPs with a good 'table. I still don't understand how all this voodoo (upsampling, etc) can restore something that was never there in the first place.
