Cheers, Adrian. There's no 'Play" button though, and there's nothing written on the first image to say what it is, so can't search for it. I'll check out the second one, though!Originally Posted by AJSki2fly

I hear ya, a lot of it is sonic wallpaper and not that enjoyable.
Really like that track though, and it WAS what I was listening to...
Live music...always, but can’t always do that.
Speaking of “a certain age” you’ve got years on me ya old git!

Not really [how old are you?] and besides, it's *how*you FEEL and live, and the lifestyle choices you make. In that respect, someone at 40 could be much 'older' than someone at 50, especially when health comes into the equation!
And just to make it clear, I'm not talking about you, but I HATE folk who are or have become OLD before their time... Healthy guys in their 40s acting like old men - I see it all too often and it's bigtime sad!

Lol - I'm perfectly chilled
Why would I not be, daftee? Just because I'm expressing a forceful and passionate view doesn't mean I'm angry or in a bad mood.

P.S I'm pleased you still own a tape deck... Show's you've not totally lost your 'left-field' approach to hi-fi [kidding]

Still sad you let that lovely (and irreplaceable) bespoke-made valve amp go... But I guess you had your reasons. There's NO way I'll ever sell mine.

I know mate..
Still sad you let that lovely (and irreplaceable) bespoke-made valve amp go... But I guess you had your reasons. There's NO way I'll ever sell mine.
Marco.
but s'all part of the journey though, so that's OK.
Priorities shifted, which can be healthy sometimes.
Happy to have experienced what a good valve amp can do.
Besides...
Big blue VU meters in my future at some point, sometimes you need to let stuff go.
Quite a different way to enjoy music, but hey...
that's part of the fun.
Only around here the one time so why not.
