Follow me on Twitter. Just signed up (succumbed is more like it) so it will take a while to get up to speed but now when I visit a used record store of something interesting happens in the vinyl world (or whatever else) you'll be the first to know!

(Photo by Randy Wells) I've been on the road just about the entire month of October. First at Rocky Mountain Audio Festival and this past weekend I M.C.'d at Chad Kassem's 15th Annual Blues at The Crossroads Blues Festival held at his Blue Heaven Studios, a converted church. It was a blast and of course I again got to tour the pressing plant.

My apologies to Gavin Lurrsen, who did respond immediately to my email via email. Unfortunately his email got trapped in the overaggressive corporate spam filter.

Reader Tony Crocker emailed me with the URL for his YouTube record cleaning video. Crocker bases it in part on the one written for The Tracking Angle by Michael Wayne some years ago that you can access on this site.

I was invited to speak at last week's Los Angeles and Orange County Audiophile Society Annual Awards Banquet. I spoke there two years ago and did some audio stand up comedy so this time i figured I'd do something else: sing.
