Today, by popular demand, "20 Inch Box Fan" by Galaxy, a fan for the Classic Fan fan but without it's feet it's a classic ROCKING fan.

I knew Sky when I lived in N. Hollywood around 1983. He was basically the first person (that I did not know) I met. He walked up to me and said "Where's the buds?" I did not have a clue who he was until he introduced himself

He was a cool dude but a little strange also. RIP brother, I miss getting baked with you, Cindy, Kat and Jim
 
Dear Mr. President - only release.

White House had copyright on the name so became Flesh & Blood & album re-titled Dead, White & Blue.

produced by Sly (Stone) Stewart. sounds great with pronounced low frequencies and jangly guitar - some tracks sound like a darker version of the '65 Byrds.
 
Let's see...ABC by the Jackson 5 just came on...

Having been bumped off the Sanus rack, the turntable went back to the shop system, and is now on the very solid wood file cabinet. It has four slabs of MDF under it. I put the amps above it on a box, the Arcam for the phono section, the Yamaha for main amplification, and output to the B&W wafflebacks. I mounted one of the LP Wall-Its, a simple matter of two screws, and you can load it from the front, or slide the LP in from the side - a cool item.

So, tonight I played my latest (estate sale) LP purchase, Wendy Carlos' "Switched-On Brandenburgs." It has a silver and black cover, hard to photograph, and the music is more restrained than that of the original "Switched-On Bach" of years ago. SQ was quite nice.

What is that behind the slots you display the LPs on, Laz? Some kind of antenna or a dart target?
