50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?

Buying Pet Peeve - Pictures
One of my pet peeves is not taking 30 seconds (or less) to just dust. I hate seeing pics with piles of dust on the equipment.   
New In 2023

Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up
That seems rather long---that wouldn't cut it for me since I rarely listen to my music for 4 hours straight. I don't have tubes but my Sugden A21 sounds pretty sweet after about 15-20 mins.
