I was not aware that humans were capable of discerning notes lower than the ones you handle regularly. Trump and his bologna took a tough hit. That's good.

I find RR to be an unending source of parody and risibility and am prepared to mine him from dawn to dusk. I know he secretly reads Walter Pater.<br /><br />Sabine: There comes a time in life when the task of choosing a CD ("Should it be this or that? The variables are just too much."), detaching it from that irritating gripper in the jewel case, dropping it precisely on the player's transport mechanism, and pushing subsequent appropriate buttons becomes an intolerable burden. As to LPs, dusting isn't enough; the vinyl is electrostatically charged and the dust, in obedience to certain immutable laws of physics, remains in situ. You require what used to be called a Dust Bug with its little bottle of fluid, and even then the clicks sound out like machine-gun bursts during the <i>ppp</i> passages. <br /><br />Hence the mini-computer.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-17119050976253385292017-03-26T21:54:42.788+01:002017-03-26T21:54:42.788+01:00Oh dear, gute Besserung, may things improve rapidl...Oh dear, gute Besserung, may things improve rapidly and sinuses clear over night.<br /><br />We have just reinstalled a record player and dusted all these vinyl round things.
