Music Of The Moment

[Pimpernel Smith]

I know I've told this story a millions times.
I first met CW a few times when he was about 17 - 18 living near Cobden - two things: His name really is C W Stoneking and he always talked with that raspy jive.

Got two of his albums on vinyl back in the early 2010's.

Farewell to the iPod – and the age of the personal music library

The iPod, with its “shuffle” feature, was often accused of pushing listeners away from the album. Now it feels like a symbol of simpler times.

The first generation of the MP3 format was awful quality, standard cassette tape was many times better.

Had an iPod in the late 1990s up to mid-2000's then I ditched because of the sound issues. It was never good enough. You sacrificed too much for 1000's of tracks.

Will our host come out, I wonder...is he brave enough to declare his allegiances behind the mask...

He's still going strong...not bad for an 81 year old...except for the autotune set to max:

Echo and the Bunnymen tour is stopping here at a small venue with table seating, so I guess I’m going.
