Retired rock n roll drummer who never really was. It was a great ride though. Into jazz and blues. Vinyl, cassettes, CDs, digital, smoke signals. I do not answer DM's.

Thank you #Bandcamp for these awesome CDs

Ok. Here is the story. My family fell on some low times in 79, 80 and such. We had barely gotten on our feet with a one room duplex apartment. I had this little transistor radio and I listened to music because it was all that I had really. I'd hear their songs and they would lift my spirits.

I have just had these shipped to me. Ordered two double CDs from a 73 and 79 concert from #billevanstrio off of Resonance Records on Bandcamp. Totally great recordings. I've been on an Evans Trio kick lately. Learning about all of the lineups and Bill himself.

At some point after the earlier #jazz, I managed to fall off in the the dirty blues, a good friend of mine used to call it. Well, we are in it. #nowplaying #theblues #blues #howlinwolf #musicsky

My only gripe about this is that they didn't put a detailed description of each album in the liner notes. I have to look up song titles to find which record they are on. Bah humbug. Other than that, you can't get much better than Miles. #nowplaying #jazz #musicsky

Found this 1975 Polygram copy of Rainbow's debut album. Seems the sides were switched maybe. Sounds great though. #cassette #nowplaying #musicsky #progrock

Most definitely an #albumsfrommyyouth entry. This was my second tape from the Columbia House deal in 76 and 77. The first one was Destroyer. But definitely some memories here. Good bad and ugly but I wouldn't trade it. #nowplaying #KISSARMY #KISS #musicsky #cassette #rocknroll #music

The reviews of this little guy on YouTube I found to be spot on. At around ninety bucks, the #FIIOCP13 is a pretty awesome little #cassette player. No Internet required. Not audiophile. Just fun. #nowplaying #musicsky #cassettetapes #albumsfrommyyouth #donhendley #eagles

To any of my #followers that do #vinyl. I use this compressed air to blow away dust from my player, trying not to hit the stylus. Is this a good idea?

So I'm really getting it that these spaces where people set up their record players are unique and a matter of personal taste and influence. So here goes... I've upgraded. I'd like to make those lights different colors or made change colors. Gone is the Anton Bruckner tapestry. At least for now.
