I can recall sitting on the floor at home and friends apartments as we listened to the Moody Blues, The Band, and the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTO7WVxjz3A" rel="nofollow">Yardbirds</a> . We listened for every bit of sound and rhythm and expected the best guitar work from our heroes of the time. We also had to walk a bit more carefully around the room as vibrations (oh no! dancing) would cause a skip, possibly damaging the vinyl for a permanent skip. My husband toted all his vinyl to downtown Easthampton one day several years back and gave them to a record dealer here. It's almost as though the artistic value of them surpassed any thought of monetary gain. It was like giving them to a good home and hoping they would receive the love and appreciation that had been part of their "lives" with us. I also remember riding along in hubby's old Rambler and listening to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_qHU_6Ofc0" rel="nofollow">The James Gang</a>on the 8 track. The box of tapes was huge by today's standards. Now my iPod shuffle is loaded with Jack Johnson, Bob Dylan, and U2. I plan to get the cable that connects it to the car system and you're right, I haven't bought more than one or two cds in the past year. Yes Kevin, this one strikes a chord as well.
