Getting music these days is an adventure. Now I have hundreds of CD's and hundreds of vinyl records in my collection that I don't listen to anymore. I don't even have a working stereo. Or a cassette deck.
I remember in the old days when I used to go to J&R records on Nassau Street when I was in college and got the latest records I heard onWNEW. The Who. Van Morrison. Humble Pie. Jethro Tull. Man those were the days.
Now everything is on your Iphone or Ipad or IPod. It is all computer electronic bullshit. You download it and put it on one of your devices. I don't know how to do it but all the kids do. One of my former employees showed me how to go to some Pirate Site and download free music which I tried a few times. But I ended up with viruses and fucked up a perfectly good computer so later for that shit.
Then I started downloading from Itunes and paying for it and everyone says I am crazy. But I don't mind paying but it seem silly to buy something I already have on CD or a record. Plus once I buy it I have to transfer it to the Ipod. It is a pain in the ass.
Now my niece is teaching me how to download free music from Amazon Prime. I have downloaded a bunch of stuff and now I have to figure out how to get it on the I pod.
Why can't I just buy a record?

One of my former business partners had a record store down in Florida. Got out just before everything went digital. It went belly up two years after he sold. Lucky guy.
My daughter volunteered to digitize all my old "Books on Tape" for peanuts. I'll let her do it - when she has time from school.
