blue collar workers


was just sittin here wondering how many people here at audiogon are blue collar workers.

just curious as to how many people work with their hands that enjoy the same hobby as me.

i myself run a 25 to 30 man construction crew in michigan & all the other hifi nuts i know are not blue collar people.

Hey Driver,

That used to be one of my favorite parts of driving around different parts of the country. Too bad the "corporate stations" have taken over. Now I only find unique music on stations that are below 92 on the FM dial (College, public, etc).

It's kind of sad. Like fast food and chain stores, big money has killed the unique music of different areas.

Mind you, I'm not complaining, just longing for the old days. This is a great big country and I still enjoy the uniqueness of different Cities, States, Regions, but it's getting hard to find a decent radio station and a locally owned restaurant........

Oh, yeah, about PJ Harvey: I don't get it!!!!!

Enjoy,

Yep!, I've seen you guys up there many times. Just before I retired the EPA made them extend all the stacks...had helicopters and the whole bit going on up there.

Hey Reubent,

The thing about PJ Harvey is it was new at the time & I didn't realize she went back that far. I take it you don't get her music? I only get some of it :-}

I would go as far as saying most radio is putrid redundancy & in fact I drove the last 550 or so miles of a road trip last week w/o listening to it.
I guess I'm required to chime in on this thread having been an electrician for ever (23 years) and counting. I don't complain though, the trades pay for a nice house in the Santa Cruz mountains, plus all my toy's.

In my spare time I've been remodeling which has put me in touch with almost every trade. I haven't had to do any roofing yet, but today I was mixing and pouring concrete for my new fireplace hearth. Next week I'll be cutting marbel, and re-facing the fireplace. Then the Pergo floors are going in 900sqft.

I've got to pick up the pace a little since this is my listening room we're talking about. I'm without my main system until I get it all done :^(
