So, I have a new obsession with something old...records! My parents have had a couple of boxes of their old records just sadly stored away in the garage for years and I recently bought a record player so that I could enjoy them (I have very similar music taste to my mother when she was my age). I am absolutely loving it! The sound quality is beautiful and even the well warn and slightly warped records add what to me is a lovely scratch (the true sound of authenticity).
I'm still in the process of going through the records, so many are collaborations between people who were part of major bands before they got really famous and I must admit I do not know names very well, but I'm learning. In my pursuit of this new obsession I have discovered the most amazing little record shop, right here in Visalia. Velouria Records is owned by a woman who has an obvious and true passion for the music that stocks her bins. I'm making this place a habit :) visit Velouria here
Staying in the theme of wonderful music, I'm also reading a new book, The Ballad of Bob Dylan by Daniel Mark Epstein. I have always loved Dylan's music and been intrigued by his story, and reading it written by someone who writes as lyrically as Epstein makes my intrigue even greater.My past experience with biographies has made me leery of them, but this novel has made me eat my words.
On a completely unrelated topic, look at what the sunset looked like today:
Ah-freaking-mazing!! On that note...have a blessed night and day tomorrow!!
