:: I found this record album from 1981. It's the Kentucky Music Educator's Association All-State Band recording. I auditioned and was selected as a sophomore in high school. That was a big deal.
We played Galop by Dimitri Shostakovich, Ye Banks and Braes O'Bonnie Doon by Percy Grainger, Russian Christmas Music by Alfred Reed and March of the Belgian Paratroopers by Pierre Leemans.
There's my name. 24th chair.
I'd love to listen to this. But, alas, I have no turntable. Anyone know how to convert a "half speed mastered" record album to an MP3 file? Yeah. Me neither.
:: Since putting my 45th birthday post about not doing things just because other people want me to into force I'm amazed at how quickly people turn and run once they realize they aren't going to get what they want from me. It's actually quite amusing. "Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya," as Ali's nephew would say!
:: I've got the great forsythia experiment going again on Gramma's hutch. The windows are open and the evening breeze feels wonderful.
Welcome Spring!

I have converted about half my vinyl record collection to MP3 using a USB Turntable.
I got mine from ThinkGeek, but I know they're available all over the place.
