No relation, but if I could get my hands on the guy... http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/ele/1110632017.html

I know of a good "retirement" home for that old Philips of yours. []

Think of it as a new exercise program.

Yes.

Dang, Dave. Looks like a scene from "On The Beach". ;-) No can make it. Sorry I missed this thread earlier. Oughta stray from my forum-ghetto more often.

CAROLAN'S HARP Dance tunes, airs & laments by Turlough O'Carolan The Harp Consort Andrew Lawrence-King, dir. Deutsche Harmonia Mundi Happy St. Harry's Day!

There's quite a long-running tradition in European Art relating the naked female form to the Death's Head. Would have been a good topic for an Art History dissertation (and I'm sure, has been). Sex and death are seldom very far apart in any culture.

Yikes!

I believe "obscene" is a better description of that jacket.

Some that have caused me to receive the "arched eyebrow" look from Mrs. Summer... ...especially this one, because I couldn't claim any great merit in Les Baxter's music.

I think I've seen your description of the Swiffer sheets before, and using the Magic Eraser on the stylus should be easy to figure out, but Wood Glue? How is that used? http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=99837 It's all here.

From my local Walgreens' "Audiophile Aisle": Hand Steamer, Swiffer Sheets, Magic Eraser (for the stylus), Wood Glue (for deep cleaning).

Mine, too. I've always wondered how much better it could have been (or not) if Cooder and Joe Byrd had gotten along. So far, of all this great stuff, the biggest surprise has been "Chester & Lester". A remarkable moment saved for posterity.

I went back and got 46 more of them. I described them as VG/VG+, but that was mainly based on the jackets. Upon inspection, the discs themselves are all VG++/Mint, and the collection was heavy on jazz guitar. Each jacket is coded with the date it was acquired. I thought it was an old price sticker, but the little orange stickers all say something like "2 83" or "6 79". All in all, a fantastic windfall, and very few duplicates of what I already have.

Even though I haven't heard it: Gabriel's.

The cane is PERFECT! Where'd you source it?

On the otherhand, that PHK Record Cleaning machine looks VERY interesting... but I wonder how much shipping is from Brazil?

Man, no love for Swiffer over on AudioKarma. But for a place that brags "no attitude", it does flare up every so often.

Don't feel alone. People completely miss my point all the time. []

Is that the product you are using? More info, please.
