I have a thing for turntables to play records. Others have a thing for guns to shoot bullets. Both interests have been increasing in popularity in recent years. I’ll stick with turntables and records.

I love the Stones’ brief Psychedelic period. Some critics call it a “me too” after Sgt. Pepper, but Brian Jones really added a lot to those recordings. I was stunned when Andrew Sandoval recently said, “No Brian, no Stones.” Andrew got push-back on that sentiment, but for me the magic ended with Brian’s death.
There’s more synchronicity! I’m about to post about the studio where the Police recorded.
nih, YIKES! That happens to me all the time. Dougie, I went to hit the play button on your picture, but it wasn’t there! I imagine you wanted a full view of your groovy turntable and 45. So I listened to it on YouTube!
What’s your favorite Stones song? Secretly, I like several more than some Beatles songs (especially some old-timey Paulie compositions). Paul nailed it on “Helter Skelter,” though. I love all the Stones’s Norwalk stuff, but admit to having to turn up the much-maligned “Emotional Rescue” and sing it in the car! Favorite Beatles song? This is a strange one: “No Reply.”
And speaking of Synchronicity, for my part, I just watched Warren Huart’s piece on “Every Breath You Take” 🙂
