I have always been surrounded by music. Family played instruments and many of them were singers. I played in a band for for about 7 years. Got on TV and then everything fell apart... I have always had a system of some kind ever since I can remember. Got on to Napster at its very early times... only about 50k people on it when I got on. Started DL'n music like a crazy fool... I have a SCSI hard drive the size of a cinder block somewhere in my garage that has music on it that would take my a week to down load one song...lol. Anyway, I am a big vinyl nut. Love the sound of it more than anything, however I am now getting into R2R. enough for now... Will add ore later.
