I’d love to get back to vinyl, at least partially, but don’t have the space to make it work. Meanwhile, Rick has cost me $10 because when I previewed Donnie Vie’s “Beautiful Things”, I just had to possess it. Fantastic. Now, I have to decide whether to dare sampling everyone else's best of the last 12.😅 BR, Jeff > On Jun 23, 2020, at 10:18 PM, Rick McCall wrote: > > Honestly, with the insanity going on in our world right now and the isolation going on over three months, music has become an even more valuable diversion for me. > > I went pretty much all digital in the mid to late 80’s when cds came out and quit playing vinyl.
