If you won the power ball tomorrow night would you
Well, given the choice I would book hookers for the private party to hear their music, so to speak.Sad reality regarding musicians but it's always been like that. 
The one piece of gear you will never sell
I will probably never get rid of the Nakamichi 682ZX cassette deck, even though I plan to get into open reel deck adventure project.I also really like the Nottingham Spacedeck but still might upgrade in a distant future, don't know.

A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck?
