RE: [DTXpress] Re: Zildjian antivibes (was: Pintechs - dual or stereo?)

My 14-year-old daughter is doing a paper on the Beatles. It's been great having the music on and talking about what was happening at the time of each LP. She came across a picture of me with hair down my back and had a small attack.

That sounds like a wonderful relationship. Whenever I put any music
on my main system, my four-year-old daughter says, "Daddy, I don't
want to hear your songs; I want to hear my songs." So then it's back
to the soundtrack for Mary Poppins or the Little Mermaid. She does
like the Beatles (often forcing her parents to impersonate them
endlessly), but if I hear Rubber Soul one more time (as much as I
revere it), I may plotz.
