Solved mystereo dilemna with a thumb drive
A few weeks ago I posted that it was time to replace stereo/CD player
on the boat. Coumbus Day seemed like an auspicious moment to install thenew C-70 radar, so while I had the overhead console torn apart for wiring, etc I took the oppty to swap out the stereo. Got a Kenwood unit with a remote control (no more squaking from Mrs. G about being unable to reach the controls) Biggest selling feature is a USB port on the face. No more CD's for me! Looked at the Ipods that everybody recommended; but a 4GB unit is about $150. For $30 (on sale at Office Depot) I got a 4GB thumb drive that will plug into the USB port on the Kenwood and play through the normal amp and speakers. I'll be transferring about 150-200 CD's onto the thumb drive (if they wll all fit, otherwise will spend another $30). With stowage always at a premium on any boat, I'm looking forward to recovering a galley drawer currently stuffed with CD, as well as bringing aboard a greater variety of music from the collection normally kept at home. So far tonight I've uploaded albums by: Bob Dylan Billie Holiday Beatles ("The Early Years"- this is the album where they honest to golly sing "When the Saint's go Marchin' In" and "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean." Howlin Wolf Linda Ronstadt Robert Cray Blues Band Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt ("Trio II") The Doors David Crosby and Graham Nash Fleetwood Mac Blood Sweat and Tears Takes only 3-4 minutes to rip a CD onto the thumb drive. Nice thing about it, I don't have any guilty conscience about stealing music somewhere. This is all stuff I paid for, just putting it onto a different format. :-) I'll stick this thumb drive in within the next day or so and report about whether it's easy to use........ |

Great album - have it myself. Howlin Wolf Linda Ronstadt Robert Cray Blues Band Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt ("Trio II") Very underrated - like this album a lot. The Doors David Crosby and Graham Nash Well, that explains a lot. Fleetwood Mac Which album? Blood Sweat and Tears Always a favorite of mine. |

"Greatest Hits" (Which is the primary item in my FM collection, my taste always ran more toward the Grateful Dead) Blood Sweat and Tears Always a favorite of mine. |

I am not talking about these hopped up VW Rabbit, backwards hat, shaved head deadheads. I am talking about the rainbow people, and such. Lived with a bunch of em' in Springfield 20 years ago. Never got into the music, but I loved the atmosphere. |

Well wasn't that snarky... :) To tell the truth, we have a bunch of Deadheads in our apartments and they all are nice folks - never late on rent, keep the places up and never a hassle or problem on anything. And our family attorney is a Deadhead. Plus Mrs. Wave. In addition to... Well, I think you get the point. :) |
