Chillin to Glenn Miller

Oh man!!!! That's GOOD STUFF! Joe.. I still have a phonograph that works.. and I haven't put a record on its platter for WAY too long.

Here's one of my Glenn Miller LP's..




It was a hand-me-down.. along with scads of other greats including Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Miles Davis.. the list goes on!

My turntable resides under my laptop in my shop..



It was my grandfather's.. a "Sears"/LXI series console with a tuner and cassette-deck. Its speaker-cabs are still used daily in our living-room with a Pioneer 4ch receiver connected to the TV audio. There's storage below for LP's.. and it's full of goodies!



It can be connected to my Denon home-theater workshop system as easily as swapping the audio-cable from my laptop with an adapter-plug. The sound of LP's is mahhhhvelous.. There's a warm sonic "presence" to analog recordings.. as well as analog (tube) amplification.. that just can't be compared to the cold "sterile" sound of digital-audio.

I have some more vinyl in the spare-room.. including some very old 78rpm relics (on the top-shelf)



I'm almost sure that there's some Glenn Miller recordings on those 78's.. I have two other turntables that have 78 speed-selectors.. but they need stylus's.

Thanks for posting this Joe! Keep on "chillin"...  

I like a little Glenn Miller once in awhile.





I must have at least 4-5 copies of this tape. I tend to accumulate multiples of certain titles when I buy boxes full and collections of tapes. Anyone here have an 8-track player? Yours if you want it. I know there's a few more albums/collections in my crates of 8-tracks. I also know there's a few LPs on the shelf. This is the kind of stuff I used to listen to with my Grandpa.
