That play's music?

One afternoon in our new home I decided to brush of one of my vintage albums and listen to an album. I can't remember for sure what I played but I think it may have been Ten Years After, with an oldie but goodie called "I'd Love to Change the World". Ever heard it?

About the time I drop the needle and a few licks start to crank out, my 10 year old daughter is walking by, stops in dumbfounded amazement, turns to me and says; that plays music?

Talk about obsolete technology! Not to mention an obsolete Dad. Wow! What a difference 10 years makes. You know it's the future now when your kids have never heard music from a record player and only know music as coming from a radio or CD.

What about 8-tracks or even cassette tapes? - ancient history! Just a mad minute in the ever progressing technology evolution.

Imagine in a year or two when the CD is an afterthought and music is entirely traded on memory stick or iPod.

Video will follow soon. Imagine access to enormous video libraries on-demand. Coming soon - video overload......

Hey you! What a nice blog you got here. I really love music and it has always been my greatest interest. I play the guitar myself and I really would like to learn to play this music. Kisses from Natasja!
