Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I got up and headed to Underdog Records grabbed our goodies (he was busy, that was good) and then literally got in our own bubble and had lunch at The Porch. Lots of record listening yesterday, too. A good day. Here’s the haul: Crosby, Stills & Nash – Crosby, Stills & Nash —…
Salutations™!! Today is the anniversary of a few albums. Mike Oldfield’s Crises (37), Neil Young’s American Stars ‘N Bars and Dixie Dregs’s Free Fall (both 43), Paul McCartney & Wings’s Venus And Mars (45), and perhaps, at least to me, Bob Dylan’s The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, which is 57 today.

Salutations™!! So, the thing I want to say first is this: as much as I don’t mind the cold, sitting outside when the temperature drops to 41° and the wind comes barreling in at 3:45am in the morning and you’re in line for the Super Bowl of Records and Vinyl. That “ish” sucks like a…

Salutations™!! Let me say, a brand new needle on your turntable makes all the difference in the world! Everything sounds so crisp and amazing. The BCPF and I have been enjoying a long week together observing the 3-Feet Rule (no farther than three feet from each other for most of the vacation). In that, we also…
Salutations™!! This week’s edition is the Record Store Day-Black Friday (RSD) edition. But, it’s also the Small Business Saturday edition. Yes, The BCPF and I went to Underdog Records both days. The haul was less in terms of quantity but more in cost because it was new stuff that we were purchasing. There was one…
