Thank you so much. I finally found a combination of pop up blocker and VPN (that I already had) tweaked to eliminate 99% (roughly) of ads here and on YouTube etc. I hope I can stay for a long time more because I've been here for a long time already.

A pic of kitty too. Taken a couple weeks ago during a thunderstorm. She was shaking from being terribly frightened. She hung on tight until the storm ended. Poor kitty.

My mother passed away and little while ago and while clearing out her house and sorting through her 30 or so records there were only three that I felt the need to take. My mother's taste in music was far more varied than mine. This one I normally would have definitely passed on but because, way back when I was in the Canadian reserve forces, the regiment that I was in was the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders (I still have my glengarry as seen in front of the album). I'm not sure if my mother had this album because of that or if it is just a strange coincidence. Either way, I needed to have it for nostalgic sake. I struggled to listen to the complete side one and not going to bother with side two. The pipes and drums have a place but not today.

Sorry for your loss, and it’s good you gat a chance to pick up items that had meaning for you. I think we all can understand that there is a time and place for pipe and drums. The only place I’ve ever really appreciated them was in AC/DC’s “It’s a long way to the top”.

I'm sorry for your loss.
 
Sly And The Family Stone - Greatest Hits (Epic 1970)

I feel for young musicians today. This album is 56 years old and sounds great; really. You have to wonder if anyone will be able to play the file types music is currently recored in 50+ years from now, or if will slowly disappear into the hard drive shredder somewhere in the data center that is torn down 15 years from now.

Now onto something more appealing. Today was a sort of record fair where all the local record vendors came together (some don't have a physical store). This is one of three that I bought today. It's amazing how clean a record that's almost 60 years old can sound!
