A visit from the boys
A big thanks to Vinyl Junky and Clarky for visiting and keeping me company tother day. Great afternoon listening to some great choons and talking music. Thanks too for bringing with them a rather tasty JVC DD turntable which sounded pretty damn good. It just reminds me how enjoyable it is to have music in your life and listen to it the good old fashioned way.

I'm Mika.
I was just travelling for one week due to EKC2016 event and returned home late Monday night totally exhausted. Yesterday did not have time or need to listen music but today when powered the system up again after the day at the office, oh boy it was nice just to listen music and relax. Sometimes it seems secondary issues take our attention and that's too bad..

Got the R to R bug now Brian?
Sure you can squeeze one in somewhere.. :-)

On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

I seem to so short on opportunities for music listening these days, between band and work activities but it's great when I get the chance.

One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

Good recordings more than anything I think Gaz. It is a fairly decent machine though.
