Linn LP12 Valhalla 45 rpm
That's kind of you, Richard. Wendell, the OL option is intriguing. Let me ask you: did you find it difficult to install? Did your Linn need to be tuned again when you installed the OL? (I don't tune my own Linn and hate having to take it soemwhere...

Any good Contemporary Christian recordings
Marco, do you see Gillian Welch as a Christian artist? Interesting. Some of her songs have religious themes and imagery, but I always thought it was just in the vein of the kinds of sings she does.
