I was a very late convert. Now a full blown itard.
Remember buying my first record, an EP the Beatles Please please me. I was allowed to play it on the new radiogram my parents bought in the early sixties. Had a tuner and a turntable.
Fond memories of mum playing Jim Reeves LPs on Sunday’s while dad was at the pub. Dad would come back and play his Gigli singles or a bit of JS Bach fugues.
Today I use a Bose Bluetooth speaker and MacBook to listen to Paul Simon and Eva Cassidy. Wonder what mum and dad would have made of that?
