The Righteous Brothers - I Need A Girl

I have a bunch of posts in my draft that I need to re-record the songs or fix pictures so I can get them out of draft...sounds like a weekend project. I can't wait to test the new receiver with recording some 45s...I have a nice stack I want to get to. 

I found this one in in the boxes from the closed 1972 record store. I am not sure I would have snagged it if I found it while crate digging....but once I put it on I realized sometimes things I probably would pass on are just too good to believe. This was the B side of their 2nd 45 and it did not hit the charts

Bobby Vee - Signs

The death of my friend has me realizing I need to reach out and talk to some friends I have not spoken to in a long time. I know life gets busy but that is no excuse for not maintaining contact.

Everyone is probably familiar with the song Signs as it was a big hit in the early 70's. But did you know Bobby Vee did it around the same time and it included this very obscure picture sleeve. The sleeve folds out and my pictures don't do it justice. 

I am enjoying my new receiver...it has bluetooth so I paired my computer with it and now I can play my mp3's I have recorded through my speakers...I have an endless playlist now while I work

The Lincolns - Pleasin You Pleases Me / Don't Let Me Shed Any More Tears

My new receiver arrived yesterday and I hooked it up last night. A quick check with Roxio and it appears I am back in bizness. I picked this one up in Colorado a year ago February

Vince Everett - I Ain't Gonna Be Your Low Down Dog No More/Sugar Bee

Traded for some cool 45s yesterday. Many will make this blog at some point. The new receiver arrives today so hopefully I can get it hooked up later this week and be back in bizness next week. Luckily I have a mishmash of songs recorded

Bruce Cockburn - Dialogue With The Devil

I recently was at a friends and picked up some Bruce Cockburn albums I already had but when I got home I realized that my copy of this one had a different cover. Great live album and one of my favorites off this

Barry McGuire - Cloudy Summer Afternoon (Raindrops)

Set up the Turntable and the sound is phenomenal...but I can't get Roxio to work. The audio technica I was using had a plug so I could plug it directly to the computer...this one does not so I need to go the roxio usb route via my receiver...needless to say my receiver is really old and I have tried all the input/output lines (which are dedicated to cd, cassette, ect) to no avail. So, I ordered me a new receiver and it should arrive Monday.

Linda Lyndell - I Don't Know

It's been awhile since I had some insomnia...at least I slept for about 4 hours. Cooper realized I was awake and thought it was time for our walk...just a bit early buddy. Started the coffee and thought I would do this quick post. Coffee should be ready so I think I will type some of my new record purchases into my database...I am way behind on that

I purchased a Technics SL 1200M3D this week so one project today is to get it hooked up so I can record some stuff this weekend. I'm not very tech savy so I imagine it will take me awhile
