You all will enjoy this. This is how well pregaming went before the Courettes show the other night. We put the CD on the stereo as we were having a couple of drinks before getting out of here. I realized all of a sudden that the sound was coming through only one speaker. I got up on a stool to check the speakers, confirmed it, but the wires seemed OK. So I get the headlamp, haul the stereo shelf out, and kneel down so I can get behind it at the wire spindles. I undo the negative for the right speaker, start trying to reattach, and start having a lot of trouble doing so. And, disturbingly, there's no change in the sound. It's in minute three of trying to get it hooked up again that I realize the album is even CALLED /Back in Mono/.
Older I may be. But wiser? Pffffffffft.
