I'm not big on digital music sales. I'd rather have the album in my hands. A computer or device crapping out on you and you've got a headache. Plus, if it's not in your possession, it's not really yours. I can see a time when an album becomes politically incorrect, and deleted from the cloud.
The first stereo that I had in my room was my Dad's old 8-track player. I was a hipster, at the age of 14, before it was popular! Jim Croce and Chicago are two of the big 8 track tapes that I can remember. From 8 tracks, I went straight into cassettes, then CDs. I really don't relish the idea of accumulating/replacing my music collection.
What are some of your fond music memories?

When I was in college (1971-1975) at the University of New Mexico, my reserve unit had a deal with the college. We cleaned up the arena, where all the concerts were held, and we provided security. As a result, I saw every concert that came to UNM during that period. I remember seeing Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Gordon Lightfoot among others. I still have two big boxes of vinyl records I had at UNM, but I don't have anything to play them on now.
ReplyDeleteI'd go for that, all those bands. I bet when you buy a record player, you're gonna be smiling from ear to ear with all those good memories.
