Thanks for the comments about the A-250. As you can see it has a prominent place in the living room and gets frequent use. I can understand your lack of enthusiasm for the musical selection. Not a lot of enthusiasm out there for this genre. I certainly like the Golden Gate Orchestra, no, wait I LOVE the Golden Gate Orchestra & dance & early jazz music generally. However I have a real broad musical interest. If you check out my youTube channel you'll find play lists for, among others:audiophile102 wrote:Can't say I'm much of a hillbilly music fan, but I do love my own A250 and yours is a real beauty. I don't know if I would play records on my machine very often if the Golden Gate Orchestra had not recorded for Edison. I only have a few of their records, but I play one or more every day.
Thanks Fran. To me also. My first exposure as a kid to the hobby was listening to Vernon Dalhart on my departed great Grandmother's Victrola XI, (which she bought used). That type of music was certainly popular on the farms, in rural areas etcetera. As long as we are on the topic, here's the flip side.fran604g wrote:What a great example of Americana, Bruce. To me, the song really inflects the future depression era sound.
Best,
