Any funny audiofile stories???


Over the holidays my girlfriend and I went to visit her former neighbors.I had never been to there home before.We were having a drink and great conversation when the gentleman turned the TV off and put in a CD.We continued our conversation but my attention kept drifting off to the music.It was a solo acoustic guitar.Finally after about 2 songs I interupted everybody and I said What are we listening to?The gentleman told me(Brook Williams-Little Lion)Then upon scanning inside his entertainment stand I noticed handles on his components.Now my interest was really peaked.I interupted again and asked what kind of equipment he had.He had some old Carver gear,but the sound was actually pretty sweet and definetely a cut above mass market junk.From this point on you can probably guess what the topic of discussion was.If you guessed gear and music your right.That night I got a crash course on some outstanding folk material,I didn't even know existed.All of the titles he played that night were excellently recorded.We left that night(I had a list of new CD's to buy)and my girlfriend was shaking her head,and said just what you needed an excuse to buy more music.Life is Good.

Run for the hills, Clueless. I hear Celine Dion wants to do Vagas for 3 years. Arn't you Americans soooo lucky? Here's a little story. I had just bought this cottage 3 years ago and was busy unpacking the last boxes when my little niece and nephew arrived from next door. My niece immediately spotted a box of 45 records I had yet to put away. What's that?" Those are records and they make music...she quickly grabbed one and ran over to the cd player, opened the door and looked at it. "It don't fit" she cried. To which my nephew said. "Of course not. You play it on that great big thing[pointing at the roxan turntable] on top of the stand"....man did I feel old.....
