Just thought I'd remind all of you out there that are still using that antiquated, scratchy, dust ridden and clearly inferior technology that this Saturday August 12th is National Vinyl Record Day

oh, and here's a cool pic of my turntable too 




I say we should all celebrate this holiday by buying a record from our favorite vinyl vendor.

Here's mine;

I'll have to miss the official "National Vinyl Record Day" but my buddy, Jack, and I are headed down to Record Exchange on the 19th in search of the perfect Sarah Vaughn record.  Maybe some Maynard and Dizzy, too.

How's the Jolida amp sounding?  There's a slight hum in my amps....no, that's the A/C running 24/7.
When the heat breaks, come on up for a full Yamamoto experience.

Topic now moved to Vinyl Circle...per it's author, Scott F.

What a cool post it is, too 

The resource for Independent Record Sellers is priceless....and the fact that it's a charitable Foundation recognized by California means any contribution to them is tax deductible.  They even show proof of this - which is a nice touch for safety.

San Luis Obisbo is about 3.5+ hours from here...a bit more than a day trip for me, unfortunately (plus, I'm out of town starting tomorrow  )

Ahhh, ok. My apologies everyone, as have had various sites 'steal' my photos and bandwidth so have the server set to not allow referring URL not originated from our core IP address. Alas, am too busy to make a gallery right now as am about the leave to a concert in Boston.

 Bowls??? Those look like the albums I left on my dash board. Just turn them upside down and place them back on the dash, they'll be ready for playing in no time.

Great link Chris 

I celebrated Vinyl Record Day by bocotting my Squeezebox and spinning black discs for about three hours. I also picked up a few new pieces of vinyl at my electronic surplus store of all places. I found some Ella, Nancy Wilson, Bill Withers, Rush, Billy Joel and the find of the day was a 12" single from Morris Day and the Time doing Oak Tree.
