With a well deserved trip down to Atlantic City (only a 45 min. ride). I just told her to be ready at 2:30 but I didn't tell her where we were going, it was a complete surprise. I took her to the Borgata Casino where I made dinner reservations at Wolkgang Pucks restaurant...fabulous meal, we both were very impressed. Then I took her to the Diana Krall / Chris Botti concert, man was she ever surprised. Chris started things off with an hour long set. Man, that guy can play & does he ever have a superb band. Then a quick intermission while Diane's crew got all her gear on stage. Diane finished the night with a hour & a half set. What can I say, she is just fantastic. And to top the weekend off, Dave, Lou, & Sal are stopping by my place to hear a few tunes before we head on down to Joe's place where other Polkies will be gathering. What a great musical weekend. I'll have all day tomorrow to break Joe's balls about his vinyl!!! :D

    Bully for you. It sounds like a great night and im certain your wife will love you for it. tell joe that im still not convinced on the tt thing :D

    REGARDS SNOW
    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Um, you don't have to come. . .:D

    BTW I was thinking of you last night when Phyllisann and I were cleaning up. I was telling her where you and Maria were going and we both were a little green with envy. After repostioning things in the room, we listened to a few CDs. Man they sounded good. HOWEVER, the one vinyl record I played last night just reminded me that my rig is good so even digital is going to sound good but when a record is played before or after the digital all hope for digital is abandoned. . .

    I Can't wait for you guys to get here.
