I have the 45's for 11 of those tunes. A great band.

Did you keep your record player with the little adapter to use on the 33 spindle? I wish I had kept the records and the player and the adapter. That I didn't shows my unthinking unappreciative youth.

I still have one, just haven't used it in a number of years. It might take a Hoarders episode for me to dig it up though.

This stuff got me to reminiscing about my record collection that I moved along to a used record dealer a few years back. I had been collecting them for many years...maybe 5-600 titles. After moving them several times there came a time for another move, and I just said, enough is enough...I was determined to be free from the burden of the sheer volume of space and weight they took up. Sometimes an obscure favorite will pop into my head, and I miss being able to hear it, but most of the time I'm just happy they are gone.

Sometime back in the early Seventies, I was starting to go down the audiophile rabbit hole, looking to upgrade my sound system, and I just stopped.

In a moment of clarity, it came to me that there was no end to how far you can go, spending money on albums and sound paraphernalia, and a line was drawn.

I gave my record collection to my youngest sister and just put a pin in it.

That was before I completely succumbed to materialism of course.. wish I could say the same for other hobbies.

I have a record player and no records.

Does anyone else remember the color of the label on 45's? Like the Box Tops label was blue.

That's a great song. And Santana is incredible. And, that was NYC before things turned to sh*t over the last year.
Born and raised in NYC. Don't live there now, nor haven't for years. Though I have family there and have visited regularly.
I feel very bad for the place and folks there. Last time I was there a few weeks ago, I couldn't believe how many empty store fronts, and trash in the streets, and sad homeless folks and crime.
I should have shut up after saying that's a great song.

Wasn't that nice of kitty to make that extra room for you?

Billy Strings, don't know his real name. Very talented.

Bit of a head scratcher with one of my P3's today, was driving around and it just quit. It had a fresh battery and was working fine, I went to take a puff and nothing...clicked button four times, nothing, no flashing button, took out the battery and replaced it, nothing.

Drove home to grab another unit and checked the battery, battery was fine. Put the battery back in and got the button light show, unit seems to be working OK now, but I cannot trust this P3 anymore. Maybe it just glitched out?

I had it happen with one of mine. Switched out to a back up. The glitchy one works fine. Just giving it a rest. Sometimes they just need a good cleaning and a little DeoxIT.
