when i was transitioning from crawl to stand, with the help of furniture, a long time ago, I was attracted by this glowing "golden" thing with lights. I stood up to it face to face and reached into the unprotected chassis touching the tuning wheel and got a buzz or zap. must have been a burn from a hot chassis. never did that again. photo/ebay

And from my teens...

I have that lp.
My old cover band used to do the title tune. I played a 4-string bass and had to drop-tune it to play that synth bass line...oy.

I love my Schiit.

Love Joe Walsh and that track is a real gem.

He was a master at building guitar solos and the drumming is great too.

And…. he’s an ‘Analog Man’

I'm back on that Schiit , y'all

This one is awesome.. Superbly recorded to boot (at least on LP). Wish I could say the same about Rocky Mountain Way, another Joe Walsh fave that is compressed and dull sounding.

Saw him at Walnut Creek in Raleigh a number of years ago. Three drummers tossing their sticks in the air between each other and never missing a beat. The most incredible drum act I’ve ever seen.

Listening to Blues Image 'Ride Captain Ride' and recalling how at 10 years old I would go to sleep with an AM radio under my pillow waiting to hear it and other hits of the time. When your fondest memories of youth center around music, that's when you know you've been a music lover / audiophile in the making for as long as you can remember.

Music has been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember and will will be until I shed this mortal coil. Thanks to Schiit and you fine folks for sharing and helping me rekindle this passion.

I was around 10 also and used to have a long length of copper wire tacked to the ceiling of my second floor bedroom to attach to the little AM radio. From Wisconsin I was picking up stations as far away as Tennessee, Florida and Texas. Good times indeed.

Everything is bigger in Texas, including their transmitting towers.

What is insane is a night in July a couple of years ago I had to go pick up my step son from work. I was waiting for him to close and listening to the radio. I thought some of the music was odd for this local station. Nope, I was picking up a skip from a station in Tampa Bay Florida! I was in central Wisconsin! This was on the FM dial 101.5

I'd totally forgotten about Beeker Street. Thanks for the memories! Always some music, early electronica-ish, playing in the background while the DJ was on the air. Other AM stations on that frequency would shut down overnight and KAAY could boost their output power for greater coverage.

Growing up, the AM station to listen to was WHB, pure top 40. They started playing a couple songs named Lucky Man and Roundabout. I really liked those songs and ended up on the FM band looking for more stuff like that. There were a couple underground stations that were great. The summer of 1975 one of those stations changed their call letters from KBEY to KBEQ and went full-on disco. By that time, I'd discovered the wonders of import records and rock/prog music from as far east as Hungary.

Used to listen to beeker street late at night in Iowa. Sometimes we could pick up wls, but not often.
