Sunday afternoon, and vinyl!!!

[mbb308]

Just rearranged and alphabetized my old vinyl, so, of course, I have to listen to some of it.

I have on Emerson, Lake and Palmer's titleless "white bird" album, complete with a boatload of scratches. "Knife Edge" was plagarizedfrom a Czech composer - I recognize the tune from NPR.

Listened to your old vinyl lately???

 

[mbb308]

Quicksilver Messenger Service's "What About Me?" Good revolutionary stuff!!!

I'm surprised at how many of the lyrics I remember, and I haven't spun this thing in 10-15 years - maybe longer than that.

Vinyl?

OOPS
I thought you meant clothing and such.

LOL!!! No, in that department, I would be a leather guy - natural fibers and all.

 

[mbb308]

Procul Harem's "A Salty Dog".

With Robin Trower still in the band.

They NEVER played this stuff before it was "classic" rock, much less afterward.

 

[mbb308]

Jefferson Starship's "Blows Against the Empire", back when it was still the Airplane. I think that most of the Who's Who of circa 1970 California rock and roll played on this one.

 

[mbb308]

Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs", side two. It's amazing how many side twos I'll put on - first.

You can't do that with CD's, kids.

Hey Mbb!

That sounds like a relaxing way to spend a Sun. afternoon.

I think I have that Jefferson Starship.

I have two apple crates filled with albums. It's been a long time since I've got to play them; I need a new stylus

Hope you're enjoying!

You can actually still buy that stuff, but the selection is poor. My turntable is so-so, but it doesn't really matter anymore.

I wonder if much of this is even on CD.

The selection is zilch here, no place will even order it. But I've had one on my wish list for a couple years. Maybe next week while I'm out of town I will shop around for one

I'd love to listen to them again!
They are stored in my bedroom closet. A couple years ago the hot-water heater flooded the closet. All I could think of was 'Save The Records!!!!'. Those crates are heavy, but I managed to get them to safety before they were damaged! whew.

I doubt alot of it is on CD.

 

[mbb308]

Yeah, but an awful lot of it is, too. I guess big cities would have stores that might stock some of the less popular stuff.

I just moved these here from that great storage facility - Mom's basement.

Pink Floyd's "Animals" - that's probably available on CD. Side one.

He he... I have 3 big boxes of vinyl... if I can fiind a place to buy a turntable, I'll play ALL of it!

Hmmm... I'd like to hear some Commander Cody, Greatful Dead, just give me a minute, I'll come up with more.

How about some "Cumberland Blues" off "Workingmans Dead".

"Gotta get down to the Cumberland mine,
mainly where I spend my time.
Make good money - five dollars a day -
Made any more and I'd move away."

We can do that - with scratches, too.

Circuit City has them, but the cheap ones seem to be gone forever. The bulk seem to be mid-range.

Tull, Zeppelin, CSNY, more Dead... I even have an old Woodstock album of my sisters... great stuff on that. John Mayall, Van Morrison, Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Laura Nyro

*hums*
If I leave here tomorrow
would you still remember me
For I must be travelling on now
there's too many places I gotta see

Gotta love Pink Floyd!

Anything Dead is for me... but I've always loved "Sugar Magnolia" in particular...

I saw them play only once, in 1974. Some friends and I drove from the Chicago suburbs and saw the Dead at the Iowa State fairgrounds in Des Moines. Awesome outdoor concert...

LOL... I would have pictured you to be outfitted in military garb all the time... I wonder why?

Leather sounds pretty cool.

 

[mbb308]

Yup - played "Relics" last night.

"Careful with that ax, Eugene."

Never was a big deadhead.

Saw them twice - in '81 and '89. The '81 show was the best concert I ever saw, and the '89 show was one of the two or three worst ever. Go figure.

I actually wear a lot of cotton - t-shirts and flannels and old khakis to work, and newer khakis and broadcloth for loafing.

I still own a pair of penny loafers, too, but they need resoling. Heels, too.
