    RIP Jerry Weber (Jerry's Records Pittsburgh)

    Certainly one of the last of the old school record shop owners. He had a passion for Vinyl and never gave up on the format. It's comforting to know that he lived long enough to see the Vinyl revival. I kept all the price stickers on the numerous legacy Vinyl I bought from that store .. glad I...

    I'm still occasionally buying used/some new movies on DVD. Rarely buy Blu Ray .. I do have a player. DVD is usually less expensive .. especially used. A local media store chain has a good selection of movies (used) ... the best deals are on DVD's which people trade in. If the Blu Ray copy is...

    Most memorable Bar or Pub

    For me ... it was The Bird in Hand .. just outside RAF Mildehall UK. My first exposure (young 20's in the 80's) to what became known as "craft beers" in the US. Led to a life long love of Lager, Bitter (dark beer), Guinness and Ale. What was your most memorable bar or pub in your life?

    Ever turned 100,000 miles over on a Car

    Have you ever turned the odometer over 100,000 miles on car? I never have. Came close once. Owned a Suzuki Esteem (Better Call Saul car) and traded in at 98,000. The car was purchased new back in 1998. It wasn't the approaching 100,000 miles that made my decision to sell. It was just time to...

    Did you replace your original record collection with CD's

    CD's came out in the early to mid 80's. Originally, I planed to replace my record collection. The prices per CD at the time made me rethink my original inclination. Some years earlier, I had started replacing my High School 8 Track collection with LP's and then I was suppose to start over...

    Michael Fremer 2019 RMAF interview

    Really nice set of interviews with Fremer . They capture his perspective (high end audiophile) on Vinyl, and to lesser extent on CD's, SACD's and Streaming. She (Audio Belle) did a really nice job of these IMHO. Very entertaining & informative. Part 1 Part 2

    Have been a fan of the work of Roxette .. Marie Fredriksson & Per Gessle (songwriter) since the 90's. She had beautiful singing voice .. like a Swedish Angel. Gone far too soon at 61. Every artist work often brings back memories of a certain time your life. I use to listen to Roxette CD's on...

    Paramotoring videos

    Inadvertently came upon some Paramotoring video's on YouTube. Essentially a sport where folks fly motorized parachutes. Cool videos .. no way I could ever have done something like this .. even in my younger (more daring) days. Use to work with some young ladies in my youth who use to sky dive...
