Most people listen to compressed digital files on iPods or computers. In other words, hardly anybody even seems to care music sounds like these days.charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17012080465386456217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569201595524785729.post-39016785991898246392011-03-10T19:22:39.584-08:002011-03-10T19:22:39.584-08:00What a bunch of geezers!
