    Really enjoyed that. He added me on my old instagram, part of a vinyl feed. I always though his vinyl was just for show, but his passion is unbelievable. What a lovely guy.

    Great story. Love seeing him and his son bond over music. That just creates those magical moments not only now, but years down the road when dad has pasted away from old age and every time you hear all these songs ....you remember the time when.... and it's like dad is right back there with you!

    I used to listen to Casey Kasem’s top 40 every Sunday night on my small transistor radio; I’d put it under my bed and invariably never got to hear the top 5 as I always fell asleep.
    I didn’t realise it was done by sending a record to each radio station every week!

    Great vid and beautiful music room you have, very enjoyable to watch and really appreciate your passion for vinyl record albums. I also enjoy collecting music in all formats. I do enjoy streaming, but there is nothing like holding a record album, even a cd, while reading about the artist. I won’t even get into the joy it brings collecting the 45 rpm with picture sleeves. Take care, keep on collecting while enjoying the music.

    I have quite a vinyl collection myself (however not large enough to require a ladder), but I agree. There's something warm and analong about playing music on vinyl. I sold half my collection and sometimes regret it. However, massing a large amount of vinyl just takes up too much space.

    John Peel introduced us to new magical sounds, particularly from America on his Sunday afternoon show. We could go to his favourite import shop, One Stop, the following week and buy them ourselves! Beefheart, Spirit, Love, Country Joe, etc. all heard there for the first time.

    Post covid early this 2023, i some how believe the world is different, with my lovely pre 1980 became obsolete.
    Because i hv been listening to you tube music and mews mostly, and saw that the latest music hv billion of views, while the most popular of the 60s and 70s mostly bellow 40 millions views.
    I myself rarely turned on my big system, mostly playing music thru my hp + my own modified bt speakers/headphones.
    Now I find that in the supermarket they still play the music from the 70s. In people parks area there are still 60s and 70s hk music. In Batam which I went few days ago, the mega mall was playing The look of love, of course in Jakarta most places are playing Frank Sinatra, Net King Coles, Paul Mauriat. Though I hv yet to hear Mantovani and Andy Williams.
    The old music didn't disappear, except no money in it for the music company to produce.
    And I didn't believe people like the new music so much that they listen to it to enjoy a billions times. Most likely they were promoted/pushed to the play list for those who bothered to follow the latest wave.
    Btw I still hv perhaps 700 to 800 lp, except i didn't set up my turntable as my children growing up. Now they are all married, i hv yet to decide
