OK.  Going way back to the first album I ever bought.



Don't have a turntable any more but have a CD that somebody gave me just so I had a copy.

Have to go get my grandson and take him for the evening so the kids can finish moving and have some time to themselves. We'll be playing this in the car.  He LOVES music - and he's just now 1.

This is kind of fun - EVERY weekend is retro weekend at my place - guess I'm showing my age  :duh

My Dad took me to see Harry Chapin at Convention Hall in Asbury Park when I was 10 years old.  Pete Seeger was the warm up act.  Third row seats. What a great show.

Mozart Requiem, the latest download from B&W Society of Sound. Yum.

Overall pleased with the SoS tunes, although I thought all were available in hi-rez, but maybe half of the "Peter Gabriel" side of the club are std redbook.

Over the course of the first year the cost will be about 1$ per album.  (album? disc?  what's the proper term when you download?  Ahh, "file" I guess)

Bryan,

Glad to see you are breaking them in young.  :D

If you like Harry Chapin you should really check out the line of children's CDs put out by his brother Tom. Children's based themes but musically something that we as adults can listen to and not lose our minds. I would start with the "Family Tree" album.



more info at:
www.tomchapin.com

Tom Paxton also has a series of nice children’s albums.

www.tompaxton.com

Thanks.  I'll definitely look into those.

He's actually pretty funny. If it's synthisized music, he couldn't care less.  But, when he hears real acoustic instruments, he just gets locked in a trance. 

Our whole family has a musical background so it's not surprising he has a taste for music.

My Dad took me to see Harry Chapin at Convention Hall in Asbury Park when I was 10 years old.  Pete Seeger was the warm up act.  Third row seats. What a great show.

I was in my car backing out of the driveway on the way to a Harry Chapin concert at Eisenhower Park when they interupted the regular radio broadcast with a special news bulletin that Harry had just died in a car crash on the Long Island Expressway.

Harry was not only a great musician and showman, but a wonderful human being as well. He never let fame go to his head and was always concerned with making the world a better place. He was involved in many charitable endeavors and unbenounced to most people was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the Long Island Philharmonic. His fellow Long Islanders truly miss him, in more ways than one.


If you have not heard it check out the live album issues in 1198 of a show he did at The Bottom Line in NYC. I think it is much more representative of Harry's concerts that the "Greatest Stories Live" album that I always felt had too much of a commercial feel to it and lost the personal nature of Harry's shows.

OK, back to Retro Weekend......

My wife and son are running a garage sale this weekend so there will be plenty of time to listen (although on a boom box, but good music is good music).
