Who R U?


A while back Garfish mentioned he lked the idea of getting to know some of us better.As no one has started a thread like this before I will take the plunge.I have been involved in and read many heated exchanges here in AudioGon.I hope no one attacks me for this thread saying "who cares about you,this is audio" Anyway,Im 45 and live in W.N.Y.I have never been married but have a music loving 11 year old daughter who lives with me.I have been a nurse for 20 years.Before that I was a Navy Corpsman for several years.I recently became engaged (first time) to a beautiful 30 year old music loving woman.At my age a 30 year old is a keeper and I have never been happier!! My other interests??Im into vinyl,who has time for anything else??

I am 48 years old and live in midtown Manhattan. My father was a recording engineer, so I grew up with Altec Lansing Voice of the Theater's and Revox A77 reel to reel tape recorders. I was the "tape machine operator" on John Denver's recording of "Rocky Mountain High" in the early 70's. I grew into the high fi hobby early, and apart from my father's professional interest. Had my first "system" at 18. I have tended to buy the best equipment that I could afford and justify and then keep it for 10-20 years. I am back seriously in the audiophile game for about a year, after a good 10 year hiatus. I have my own business providing data processing consulting services primarily to New York's financial industry.
Hi Garfish, I too like Shirley Horne and was lucky enough to see her at a NYC jazz club several years ago. It was a memorable experience. I have learned my lesson now and I don't say anything about Diana Krall. I am sorry for my part in what went on way back when. Glad you are discovering and enjoying jazz.
