I keep getting you and Sir Les mixed up because the guy on your avatars looks like the same person.

Who is Gridley?

from wikipedia:

Charles Vernon Gridley (24 November 1844 – 25 May 1898) was an officer in the United States Navy during the American Civil War and the Spanish-American War.
Captain Gridley took command of the Olympia, Admiral George Dewey's famous flagship on 27 April 1898. During the Battle of Manila Bay on 1 May 1898, Dewey gave his famous command, "You may fire when ready, Gridley," immortalizing the captain.
After the destruction of the Spanish fleet and the capture of Manila, Gridley was obliged to leave his command because of his health, and died en route to the United States at Kobe, Japan.

Supposedly, the Spanish ships Gridley fired on were attacking US ships. They weren't. But somebody wanted a war started--maybe Hearst?--and that did it. Just goes to show that the Gulf of Tonkin was NOT an isolated incident. The US is REALLY good at shit-stirring.

Curiosity:

Do you still use vinyl for music on occasion?

I do! I also use a vinyl to CD converter (TEAC)

One of my fave recordings is Snake Oil Symphony/Soap Opera Suite by composer Daniel Steven Crafts. www.dscrafts.net It's a brilliant album full of tape melange/musique concrete all done with analog machines (1982). Is available from composer but only on vinyl. Also have personal family recordings on acetates AND 78s needing to be copied to digital formats.

So yes I still love vinyl but love CDs and MP3 files too.  No 8tracks or cylinders though.  :P

Cool!
Something you had said before left me wondering. Sounds like a nice analog collection.

I kept quite a few LPs from the old days and I have found many bargain priced treasures in the last few years, sifting through hundreds of Roger Whittaker, Barry Manilow and Christmas albums. Goodwill gets top mention as my favorite record store these days.
I don't have many 78s, but the ones I have are all classical, live performances. Some nice holographic listening experiences among them, too.

99.99 percent of my records and CDs are still back East.  Lots of punk, prog-rock, New Wave, smatterings of jazz, metal and classical, and some really strange shit.
