warch 893 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 In his account of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 the following exchange between Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon was recorded; “...as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold - everywhere the glint of gold. For the moment - an eternity it must have seemed to the others standing by - I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the suspense any longer, inquired anxiously, 'Can you see anything?' it was all I could do to get out the words, 'Yes, wonderful things.” It is notable because almost a hundred years later I 'discovered' this glorious man space. I have recorded my thoughts for posterity; "as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from a fug of WD40 and hydraulic oil, strange welders, oxy acetylene torches- everywhere the glint of oil.

I agree; prior to Lockdowns and shit, Music Evenings were a regular thing. Friends and Neighbours. Neighbours became friends. They actually asked when the next one would happen. They've all made similar comments to yours. This did not happen before Valves. Once these magical Firebottles appeared, suddenly Music Evenings became very popular. Could not get rid of the fuckers before the early hours! I've found my Amplifier starts to get going after five hours. I am a Luddite, so I have CD; Tape and Vinyl only. What I love about this system is the ability to clearly communicate the emotion (s) within the music chosen; it's not unknown for dancing to happen and some pieces of music as well as songs like the one below can draw a tear too: https://youtu.be/_Tr8Y-y59IU Solid State doesn't do that for me...
