Beautifully written.....and read, Andy! You either have a deft touch with the right words, or I'm a hopeless vinyl romantic who's spent decades caring for and adoring my little PVC buddies! I reckon it's both! I found myself actually choking up a little at your third little paragraph! Like, "don't worry, little buddy, I'll get you down in a minute! You? You're next....hang in there!" A little melodramatic, perhaps, but I loved my records!
Hell, I got twenty 100-count boxes sometime in the '80s when I started moving about the country a bit from one job to another! I never acquired that much furniture I needed to lug around....but, all 2,000 of my boxed friends never failed to make my trips...and, I'd-a had it no other way!
I dig that pic of you and the Mr.! You ever get as close to Austin, TX as you did in Mexico, you'd best consider a-knockin' on my 🚪, little Mister! Again, a really enjoyable piece!
Thank you so much, Brad! That’s very kind of you. I’m glad you connected with the text so much. Yes, absolutely: my records are my babies. I’m 100% with you on that one!
Yesss, we would love to do a proper Texas trip. We’ve been in Houston and Dallas, you know, passing, connecting (it was particularly useful when we were long distance; I was still in Argentina and he was this side of the pond), but we owe Texas a proper visit, and when we do, you can be sure you’ll be the first to know! Thanks again for stopping by!
