Last night I listened to the second side of &#8220;Fragile&#8221; by the group YES.  I tried to get Eva to listen to it, but she doesn&#8217;t relate to the music I grew up listening to.  So I dimmed the lights, laid back and enjoyed it myself.  After about 30 minutes the arm lifted up and went back to it&#8217;s starting position and turned off.  What I love most about listening to a vinyl record is the feeling of temperance and appreciation for the artistry.  I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve downloaded hundreds of hours worth of flac&#8217;s and mp3&#8217;s, all of which get dumped into a program and just play on and on.  Lately I&#8217;ve downloaded Flac files that were professionally recorded from &#8220;1st press Vinyls&#8221; and sound very close, but still something seems to be lost.  That one small part that demands your attention a little more and keeps you from over-consuming.  Even putting the record back into the sleeve and putting the album back into it&#8217;s rightful place on the shelf is part of the enjoyment that has been lost.  Each artist, of whose work I actually paid for in the past gets some of my time and attention with vinyl.<br \/>\nI suppose there&#8217;s something to be said of that.  I believe less quantity and more quality is a good philosophy.  Temperance in all things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a nice Dual CS528 vinyl record player that I had fixed and tuned up a couple of years [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nebula"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rossiters.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rossiters.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rossiters.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rossiters.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rossiters.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rossiters.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rossiters.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rossiters.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rossiters.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
