Analog Music

[ladyapple27]

I read a newspaper article that said that the new premium vinyl is becoming trendy  among young music collectors. There was a discussion about the difference in sound quality between analog and digital. I agree that the analog has a warmer sound with more depth. I frequently hear old favorites of mine in digital form for the first time and am disappointed. Older singles were engineered to sound good on the record players of their era and something is lost in the transition to digital. Among others, Sun and Bluebird recordings really should be experienced on vinyl.

I love the easy storage and transportabilty of digital, but I'll always have some vinyl and not just because I'm a dinosaur.

I never asked what they did with them after the broadcast, although I've often wondered in the years since.

I've often wanted to try and find copies of the old American Bandstand TV shows and rewatch them or try and find copies of the American Top Forty lists.
No particular reason but I do think there's lots of songs that once there few weeks were done disappeared and have seldom been played since.

My neighbor has copies of Hit Parader and Rhythm and Blues from the 50s and 60s-a treasure trove!

Now that is a treasure trove!
My Hubby loves the old time country music and he finally found an older man who's posted lots of country music from the 30's and 40's. Much of it is stuff Hubby never knew existed.

Hubby would've loved my dad; Grandpa thaught him those old country songs, and he could sing them very well.

I would have enjoyed meeting your dad too.
I enjoy talking to older folks. They know so much and the stories they can tell!
My grandpa used to dig sassafras roots and make herb tea with them. It was really good too.

My mother has named my most recent rescue cat Sassafras. Why, I don't know. She's a blue-eyed, winter white seal point with mittens.

She sounds like she's absolutely beautiful!
I hope you and Sassy have a long and happy life together.
