How are we ever going to make it up to you for sharing so much an so freely?

Thank you, bolingo, for creating one of our favorite hangouts on the internet!

Yup the drums look fabulous. Like some of the chinese bowed instruments also does on the covering skin on the bambo resonator.
About making up, I do have an idea... If you find some rare LP please treat it well, i.e. rip it take photos of all accompanying documentation including labels and post it someplace on the internet or mail it to me so I can post it. But it must meet these standards. But to speak the truth, even though it is a good deed to save old vinyl, you already paid by listening. Actually you don't owe me anything! I am just a mendicant audio glutton that thinks shared happiness is double happiness. Just knowing that you are listening makes me assured that it should keep you from other mischief, at least as long as the music plays ,-)

Happy to have you hanging out here...

And as the winter was already both long and cold and is not over yet, there will be much much more as you will soon hear!
