Funny Bob - I actually really used to - I'd often find them at Hobby Haven at Independence Center - Everyone wanted Billy Beer cans and Black Label I always thought looked cool. [Reply]
My neighbor's father passed away and, because I had taken his father to a few games, he thought I should have some of Chiefs things his father had. Wow, just wow, I'm honored. What a nice gesture.

Been on a vinyl kick lately, already had a fairly extensive album collection collecting dust... everything from Jerry Lee Lewis to KISS to Tony Bennett’s iconic I Left My Heart in San Francisco album
Then the kids got me a turntable and speakers for Christmas, since then the fever has caught... added almost pristine original pressings of Physical Graffiti from Zep, Aerosmith’s Get Your Wings, plus the Stones Green Grass and High Tides and Hot Rocks in the last month
Heart of Stone on that original vinyl is just incredible... low fi but deep and warm as could be, it sounds like a dream [Reply]

I go to Barnes & Nobles and see records for $30 and $40 dollars that I threw away. I had 4,000 albums from collecting from '66 to about 1995, then I retired and moved to Florida in 2011 and got rid all of them. I cherry picked them and sold the very best to record stores for hardly nothing and many I just tossed out. I moved those records so many times and now with youtube, all I want to do is watch concert videos on my big screen TV and listen to the surround sound. I sometimes regret getting rid of them, heck I still have about 500 CD's and 300 concert DVD's I collected before I discovered youtube. To me it's so much greater to be able to see the artist perform. I just a put a dozen or so videos of tribute bands on 'bands you regret seeing' thread over in media.
If you really take the vinyl serious, here's is the ultimate turntable, the platter floats, only $1400.

Heh. I hadn't heard of this. That's pretty cool. [Reply]
Thanks. It was certainly unexpected, and I'd much rather have his dad here than those things, but it's really nice to know the family remembered me (us) taking him to games and thinking those things would be well placed in my home. It was really uplifting..
They weren't his first games, but they were the first tailgates he had been to in almost 30 years, and I never knew how much he talked about how fun they were. [Reply]
