No way am I inferring that Ray Coniff and Lawrence Welk are inferior, they were catagorized as Easy Listening. My father was more Soul and R&B. Between the Sly, the James Brown and the O'Jays at the age of 7 or 8 it was too late, I was already funked-up. He collected 8-tracks (don't laugh) and cassettes. As I grew up, I continued his legacy with cassettes and CD's.Circle_One said:Ray Conniff was a genius and ultra famous Band Leader, Trombonist (is that the word?), arranger and conducter from the 19thirties (damn that non working three), on. He played and recorded until he died a few years ago. (2002, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, Cardero). He's played with the likes of Artie Shaw, Bob Crosby and Glen Gray, etc.
My father loved him, I was very much exposed to him as a child. I remember dancing around the kitchen with my father to Somewhere My Love when I was like 9 or so.
I was lucky (well, in some respects) when it came to being exposed to music when I was growing up, my dad listened to all the big band leaders as well as Sly, James Brown, the Four Tops, Gladys Knight, Del Shannon, etc, etc. We had quite a diverse music collection.cardero said:No way am I inferring that Ray Coniff and Lawrence Welk are inferior, they were catagorized as Easy Listening.

NetDoc said:Today while fossil diving in the Peace River (Fl), I found an old apothecary bottle that was estimated to be from the 1880s to 1910. I also found a large horse tooth as well as a knee cap from a mastadon and part of the tusk (ivory only) and ribs from a dugong. Of course I snagged a hundred or so shark teeth as well.
Majikthise said:What kinds of things do you like to collect?
Mine is top to bottom. Some 20 Bibles in about a dozen languages. That Japanese one is the only one I don't read without problems. I wrote read, i.e. manage the script, not necessarily meaning that I understand it all. (I don't count the downloaded ones or other electronic scripture, like The Internet Sacred Text Archive.)Abram said:I also collect Bibles, I even have one from Japan. It's written sideways...
JamesThePersian said:I'm still collecting my icons and winding my wife up in the process! I recently bought an icon of the Great Martyr St. George which is quite nice and we were given a fantastic icon of St. Daniel the Hesychast (her patron) for my daughter's baptism. That one is absolutely amazing because it came to us via the Metropolitan of Moldova (also called Daniel) when my daughter's godparents contacted a friend or relative who works at the metropolitanate. In addition to getting us a beautiful hand written icon in record time (I have no idea how he got it made so quickly - guess it pays to be a bishop) he also enclosed the entire service for the saint, which would have been almost impossible for us to find given that he is a Romanian saint who was only glorified in 1992.
