And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
You can still see it in my house. I've be collecting, more like accumulating, since I was 10 or 11 years old. Over 4000 - 45 RPM and I don't know how many hundreds of albums. Even though a lot have been replaced by cds and I've digitized a lot of the more obscure stuff, I can't seem to part with the vinyl. It's almost like a part of me.............
I have put a lot of the stuff onto cds. I started doing that back in the mid '90s when I started dee jaying again after taking off some of the '70s and all of the '80s. Now I convert a few into mp3s once in a while. Especially the Pittsburgh oldies sound. I get a lot of requests for them and people are surprised that I have most of what they ask about. You won't hear this kind of stuff anywhere else............
They've gone the way of the iron horse. Now it's i-Tunes in your pocket.

ReplyDeleteIt is a part of you. Never part with any of it.
DeleteI still buy new/used vinyl. I have hundreds of albums that I still play on my Technics SL-1210MK5.
DeleteMany bands are releasing vinyl now as well. Sounds so much better, especially the old analog stuff.
Too much frequency clipping on the digital. Loses a lot of warmth.....
DeleteBTW great turntable you have. I used to use a pair of SL-1200s.
DeleteNo, never part with them. You can always rip tracks and convert them to .mp3 or .wav - but keep all of your vinyl.

And the entire contents can fit on a portable device you can stick in your pocket. But hey, have both. Whatever blows your skirt up, right?
