I miss the 1980’s rack systems. They sounded great and the bouncing lights were great. Nothing better on a night that is snowing and lying in bed and watching the lights bounce.
Remember when the CD came out and it was great. No getting up to flip over an album. Thought the sound was great.
I tried the digital downloading of songs and really don’t like the sound. It is convenient and works great for the throw away music that is recorded today. But every now and then a song catches my attention and I download the song. I can’t see buying the whole album because as I said most of the music today is throw away.
Before the government messed up the radio with allowing corporations to own more than one radio station in a market there were so many choices. I grew up with radio playing Big Band, 50’s and 60’s, Jazz, R & B, Country and everything else. Then the 90’s and poof radio sucked.
People say you can go with Sirius, Spotify or any other internet radio. Again I’m not paying to listen to music. Good thing I kept my music collection. Though through the years I have weeded out the junk and probably need to do it again.
The mixed tape was great. Always enjoyed making a mixed tape and then sharing it with people. Then I got a recordable CD player but the mixed CD never caught on. Then the Ipod came along. Then internet radio. No one cares anymore.
