I know....I totally cringe thinking about the day he passes. It will be one of my saddest days.
I assume he is healthy as a horse. He lived a life without drugs or alcohol. He's a good man.

This thread is fine for vinyl..I'm curious...are some of these albums from your pappy?...you have had great luck with these older vinyl titles...somebody must have taken good care of them..

Only the Tom Jones is from my dad. All others, while he had them...and is the reason I cherish them.....his were not in good shape. I purchased most from Discogs...looking for mint condition.

Does he know you are into vinyl now?...That's pretty cool...

I have vivid memories of about 6 or 7 albums piled up on the album changer....Zenith. Imagine how scratched they became due to this process. Most of them never were returned to their original sleeve. I love my pappy, but I certainly did not learn my care of albums from him. @:

Oh yeah he does. Every once in a while he calls me and says he wants to come over and listen to Johnny Mathis vinyl. He gets it.

Actually he has undergone rehab for both alcohol and prescription drug addiction...but he has always kept his private life very private...very low key and not the subject of tabloid attention...

Yikes, really? Well, I didn't know that. Ugh...

He was an athlete in high school...track events mainly...and always took care of himself....it seems very few high profile stars can stay away from either alcohol or drugs...they are just like us..well almost like us..LOL...I'm amazed when I see James Taylor today...you would never suspect he was a junkie...but he was...

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I think I'm going to watch a concert instead of the usual TV programs tonight...this discussion about Johnny has me fired up....

Yikes, really? Well, I didn't know that. Ugh...

Gene, how else did you expect poor Johnnie to get through 68 albums without a little pick me upper?:yikes

And yes, ALL his QUAD/5.1 albums should be released by Dutton Vocalion on SACD at the nice price!

As for those 68 remastered albums........:yikes

Not two you'd expect to see together! Seeing Alice reminding me of the Joe Bonamassa concert I went to a few weeks ago. My better half and I are sitting down, and on my left is this sweet older lady about 75-80. She mentions how good Joe is and that she just had to see him live. I asked what the last concert she was at and she told me Alice Cooper in 1974.:yikes
