For some reason, I never bought the hype of CDs when they were introduced. I always felt with my Rega Planar 3 turntable that records sounded better. So, although I bought a ton of CDs, I kept all my records. Today, on my good vinyl rig they still sound great.
Sometimes you just get lucky
Back in the day, as CDs were all the "perfect sound forever" rage, my young daughters were in need of their first bicycles. Having just bought our first house, money was pretty tight. So, I looked at my collection of a little over 400 LPs -- classic rock, progressive rock, and jazz, mostly, and all in great shape -- that weren't getting much attention just then and decided to sell them at a local record store for some bike-buying cash. The clerk sniffed at me and declared that he would only give me $20 for the lot. At that point, I knew that bicycles would require a Plan B (which happened) and that I should probably hold onto the collection (which also happened). Fast forward to today, and my record collection is 3-4x the size it was back then and includes a fair share of rare items, MFOMR, One-Steps, UHQRs, box sets, etc. But those original albums remain some of my most cherished. And I constantly thank the "Great DJ in the Sky" that the clerk that day didn't make a reasonable offer. I wonder if any of you have had similar experiences?
Happy Listening,

Ironically, that seemed to have ended with his song titled "God". . . but then, disillusionment is often part of the process. . .

stuartkWearing that Tie gave me Great Luck, the topic here. My last comment on this side-bender I didn't mean to start: America, despite behavior, has a very high percentage (63%) of people declaring themselves Christians. It always amazes me how many sing the words of ’Imagine’ The best-selling single of his solo career.
