        Didn't have a chance to get to the shop, so I picked out a thrashed Joe Walsh LP I bought used as well as my used Herb Alpert collection that's pretty rough. This Okki Nokki is easy to use.

        Also, the "bath water" is cloudy, but not anything that would make me go "WHOA!" Probably because my LPs are relatively clean. Be interesting to see what some thrift store stock would do to the water. :-)

        I still think this is funny to celebrate an analog version of this album because it was the first digital multi-track album. I am sure the MoFi version is great as always.

      Oldest son may pick up a minor in math. Remaining credits still count towards MechEng degree, so why not?

        Statics, dynamics & kinematics were fine. I still use dynamics to explain the difference between leg press, Smith machine squats & free-weight squats.
        Thermodynamics absolutely kicked my ass. Much later, I gained an appreciation for how many things can be explained by the 2nd Law.

        I can't pick just one to call it a favorite. But I did use Bonzo's Montreux and Nobody's Fault But Mine (live) and Down By The Seaside with the DAC1421 audition.
