Random things you want us to know about you:

I'm pursuing my 1st bachelors degree at Berklee College of Music online.  I can't read music, so I'm getting my BA in music production. I co-write music for my band and have some solo stuff that isn't published yet. I plan to build a professional music studio (right now I work out of my basement) and I plan to start collecting vinyl for both my listening pleasure AND to display the artwork in my studio space. My goal is to get autographed albums as much as possible for artists I love.

A certain other site finally got on my last nerve and I needed a place I could post to other ADULTS without worrying about the Kiddie Pool rule hammer being brought down. So I searched "vinyl record forum" and found this site. I really like your down to earth rules. They actually seem to promote adult posting. They are the reason I became a member.

 

I sold hi-fi between 1976 and 1982. I put my turntable away around 1993 and brought it out again around 2004 and resumed the hobby with a vengeance (I now have three turntables and just under 3,000 albums). Looking forward to discussing hardware, vinyl and music with the crowd here.

Forgot to answer the questions:

Real name:

Rob

Favorite Bands:

Genesis, Renaissance, Pink Floyd, 

What's your Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr etc.?:

I dumped all social media

Hobbies (outside of record collecting):

I moved from Seattle (home for 46 years) to a 32 acre farm in rural Kentucky in 2011. My main hobby is working the property (mowing 9 acres), clearing trails, collecting firewood, etc. I just finished a 30x60 shop that includes a 16x30 "mancave listening room" that I'm finishing as I type this.

Though I've done a lot of 200 mile bike rides and bicycle commuted in the Seattle area for over 20 years, My bike has not been ridden in months. I'm too busy to just "physically work for fun" these days. I am getting into restoring furniture and vintage stereos and hi-fi's, though. That's one reason I wanted the shop.

Play in a band? Run a record label? Link us!:

I've played/sung in a dozen bands, but only play in Church now. 

Random things you want us to know about you:

I don't want to return to my home planet! These last 573 solar years have been the best days of my life and this is by far my favorite assignment. Hiding in plain sight is tons of fun. But at the end of the day I'll just lay it out thusly: "I wish they all could be Beta Prime Secondary planet 23 girls!"
