Ta Ta For Now (TTFN)

Of late, I have been focused on moving and all the necessary craziness that goes with it.


With that in mind......I'm intentionally going to avoid writing any posts....even less than I usually do.....like.....zero.....until further notice.
While I'm away, try listening to a Joni Mitchell album or Take Five by Dave Brubeck....just to name two outstanding artists.

At Goodwill, of all places, I recently snagged what looks like a good vinyl copy of The Glenn Miller Story which is basically the same thing as saying Glenn Miller's Greatest Hits. I had this album back in my teens and played it to death. It was inspirational for me when I was still living with the delusion that I could be a rock-n-roll saxophone man. Miller's heavy use of Saxophones was a new departure for "big bands" in that era and the sound was music of the highest order to my ears.

I can't wait to get resettled, set up my equipment, and start getting records, VHS and cassette tapes copied down to CDs and DVDs as the case may be. I may be able to borrow a machine that will copy the VHS tapes directly.....big help! Otherwise, I have a software program with a hardware adapter that can handle them, video and audio.

So on that note.....ta ta again; see you later.
