Deep Dive #110 Show Notes (Spring Vinyl Show)
It’s spring and time for a vinyl show! We set up recording in my living room and relaxed on couches while spinning our 10 song playlist through the my 90’s era component stereo system with Bose AM-5 speakers. The combination of pulling the records from sleeves, cueing up the needles on the grooves and immersion in warm analog depth and vocal presence (plus an occasional crackle) to share with your friends, is an experience worth the effort. This is the Deep Dive.
