Good morning Good Folks!
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and very Happy Holidays.
It's been quite a while since I posted on ECF, got a lot of catching up to do... so figured I'd start with the Back Porch.
Wet Willie "Drippin' Wet" was my first album - Dark Side of the Moon was one of my early ones tho. (how 'bout that for a contrast

) Still have those -and- Walsh's The Smoker You Drink the Player You Get also! (luv the cover art on that one). Joe Walsh is one heck-of-a guitarist and has always been one of my fav musicians... have several Eagles LPs, and Walsh's "So What" too. Life's Been Good To Me So Far - but right now I have the - All Night Laundry Mat Blues.
(having a fit of nostalgia here, so y'all bear with me

)
I was just thinking the other day:
My Marantz 6110 turntable is ~40 years old, and needs a new drive belt -probably a new cartridge and needle too. Gonna try and make 2016 the year I finally fix it up. Also still have a Marantz 3200 pre-amp and Dynakit Stereo 70 tube amp (circa 1959 - that baby looks cool with the top off in a semi-darkened room). The pots, slide controls, and selector knobs on the pre-amp all need cleaning - crackle when you move them... but otherwise it works.
Dang, just talking about it makes me want to go drag it all out right now!
May the Walsh be with you
