I suppose they're OK, but I like Glenn Miller or Louie Armstrong better.

I suppose I'm kinda lame.

Yep. They played for about 1 3/4 hours. Quite a kick.

Lmao! As the bad guy said to Bruce Willis in Live Free or Die Hard, you're a timex watch in a digital world

Seriously, as I get older my tastes in music seem to be too. I actually enjoyed watching the piano playing lady on Lawrence Welk, dressed as a chicken.

The lady, not me

If she was dressed as a chicken on Mr. Welk, what was he doing, egging her on?

I don't know if my tastes are getting older, but like my arse, they are getting broader. I have added alt-country, vocal jazz, Motown soul, folk, punk, and some more classical to a listening rotation that already included classic rock, indie rock, blues, jazz, and classical. Still haven't made the leap into Opera, and I generally avoid pop.

It's fun, not caring if you're 'cool' Plus with thrift records at $.50 who cares if it's a bust.

I still don't like the opera thing either, although I do like choral works.

Opera's OK, so long as they mention Little Jimmy Dickens somewhere.

Man, I guess there is a recession in Cleveland. I have to pay a buck for thrift store records.

My favorite all-time musical work includes a significant choral section - Beethoven's Ninth. Cliche, I know, but you like what you like. I guess part of it is growing up singing a hymn based on the Ode to Joy.

Most of the records I've seen going for a buck were so skinned up that I wouldn't buy them.

Perhaps I analize my used vinyl too closely. The dreaded anal rectivus, a chronic affliction of conservatives.

I find the classical to be in near mint shape 75-80% of the time. Finding a jazz record in good shape is a rare moment of good fortune. For a fan of Barbara Streisand, Barry Manilo or Tennessee Ernie Ford, the odds of finding something are pretty good. Finding a decent rock album is somewhere in between finding good jazz and finding Babs. When I'm really hankering for new vinyl, I can usually find something at Vintage Stock for a decent price, and Amazon has started showing a lot of used vinyl at decent prices. Good vinyl sounds great with an Ortofon 2M Blue; ever heard of that?

That is my experience with thrift vinyl too. Garage sales even better, but it's getting to where you have to look real hard.
