My "audiophile" weakness(es)...ie: how the item looks, and you?.
...I am not sure which was more stupid on my part, selling my CJ ART, or not buying the 246 GT Dino for 14K when I had the chance in the early eighties.  This is an extremely non-politically correct joke:  Do you know the difference between owning... 
With the Holidays, what are your favorite films for the season?.........
musicpodThanks for reminding me of "good old Charlie Brown".  The soundtrack alone is worth the time.  I have the soundtrack on SACD.....I don't think that is available any longer. I had mentioned in another threat, the Tuck Andress "Holiday" CD...

With the Holidays, what are your favorite films for the season?.........

A different Diana Krall CD/SACD, "The Girl in the Other Room"
Hi Robert, yes Ms. Krall is up there with Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn and a few others that I have most everything they ever recorded.  The only males that I have nearly everything they recorded are Chet Baker, and perhaps Paul Desmond.  
A different Diana Krall CD/SACD, "The Girl in the Other Room"
Yes. Having seen her live several times and collected all she has recorded, I have kept up with them through music. At one live performance Mr. Costello joined her briefly on stage. She has maintained the fire of other greats, like Rosie Clooney a...

What do you no longer have that you would enjoy a night to listen to again?
There was a Rambler/AMC dealer in my birth town.  I drove the Javelin, AMX and Scrambler....came close to buying an AMX and ended up with a Corvette.
