The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth.

Going back over this thread brought up some real chuckles.

It was when rereading it that I noticed the term, Nazi, that I used and am surprised to have missed being called out for using it.
Allow me to clarify.
Any biker who has swastikas tattooed on his chest and accompanying SS tattoos on his neck qualifies as a Nazi, in my book.

As for the music, I completely forgot about Deep Purple. Even my old fashioned mom from the farm liked their music. I also knew a guy back in my strip club days who was a tunnel rat and like your friend, he could get pretty far out there. I don't know of anyone who'd go through something like that and not be adversely affected.

As for European jazz, the ones I like the most are Paris Combo (French), Quadro Nuevo (German) and various other acoustic artists (mostly French). I don't know what it is about French cafe music, but I find it so immersing even though I don't have a clue as to what they're singing.

And yes, those WWII vets are the best America has ever had. My dad got two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star for his work as a SeaBee. They went in before anyone, save for the landing party, and cleared the jungles, laid the airstrips, fought hand to hand, and kept on working as the bombers did their runs on them.

All the best,
Nonoise

Self-praise is no recommendation nonoise.
Yeah, we get it. You're so tough you probably rust. A legend in your own mind. The older you get the better you were.

This is not a safe place, I know that. Is any online forum a safe place from smug self-promoters? Sadly, no.
I'd wager that there are far more people who have joined and left this site due to the smarmy snarking and sniping that goes on, than are still members. That's a shame.


I'm here to learn and maybe contribute something worthwhile, which is rare as there are way more learned contributors than me on here.

You're just not one of them.

And here's Capt. Fly by Night, late again to the party, trying to dog pile in on the action.

Funny.

Just paying my respects to their outstanding contributions to this thread.

Have a good evening KBC.

Your Father was in WWII so that makes you what 75?
