Who R U?

A while back Garfish mentioned he lked the idea of getting to know some of us better.As no one has started a thread like this before I will take the plunge.I have been involved in and read many heated exchanges here in AudioGon.I hope no one attacks me for this thread saying "who cares about you,this is audio" Anyway,Im 45 and live in W.N.Y.I have never been married but have a music loving 11 year old daughter who lives with me.I have been a nurse for 20 years.Before that I was a Navy Corpsman for several years.I recently became engaged (first time) to a beautiful 30 year old music loving woman.At my age a 30 year old is a keeper and I have never been happier!! My other interests??Im into vinyl,who has time for anything else??

Joe- Glad to hear from you and best of luck with your health. You'll find that there are lots of reformed hippies and the like here, who started in hifi in the 60s, got away from it and then came back as life and circumstances allowed. If music is important to a person, they'll probably get back to it sometime/somehow.

BTW, you'll find lots of great digital gear here you can try for a fraction of new, even while the format wars are getting worked out, altho I did it the other way around and am now assembling a used analog rig.

Thanks for the welcome, y'all. Just been listening to Jeff Beck and Todd Rundgren on the TT. Just found out my neurologist (I've had MS for a long time) died of a brain injury after a bike accident in a MS bikeathon in TN this past weekend. He was a world famous MS researcher and a nice guy. Life is short - enjoy it while you can. I continue to work and do my research despite my chemo. Also listen to all the music I can.

Amen, Joe, if I may say so. Your words give strength.
And let's all keep the ball rolling whatever happens...
