Hi all, my name is Steve. I am a vinylholic and live in Denver. Bought my first record in 1961 when I was 11 years old. It was a 45 of "Baby Sitting Boogie" by Buzz Crawford and I've been collecting vinyl ever since. During the late '80s and early 90's the collection really expanded when folks were ditching albums for the "perfect sound forever" fever and it numbers over 5,000 pieces now. It's about 60% rock and its derivatives, 15% jazz and 15% classical. Sold thousands of albums at record shows in Denver in the '80s and '90s until the old back sad no more! All three categories are mostly made up of recordings from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Haven't purchased very many records in the last 30 years. For me, vinyl never went away and although my stereo system has a CD player it doesn't get used much. I listen to vinyl a couple of hours nearly everyday.
Found N&G via a Google search for info on the Sutherland Duo and I'm glad I did. Started looking around at the vinyl threads here and have been amazed at the intensity and passion displayed here PLUS you keep it fun without the attitude so easily found on other sites. I like that aspect of N&G as well as the wide ranging knowledge.
Another area of great interest to me is offroading my Toyota Land Cruisers and is where the OMC handle comes from, not from the group that did "How Bizarre". Old Man Emu (OME) is a well regarded manufacturer of offroading suspensions and I've used OMC on other forums for years as my last name begins with C and, well, I'm old! It wasn't until TenderLovingKiller hipped me to what JoeMac and Thacheraye were referring to in their responses to my first post or two here. I remember that song but didn't know the artist. At least the video is fun with great "scenery".
Thanks for having me!
