[Tradjazz] Vinyl - CDs - Vitamin C

[muskrat at bestweb.net]

Man, this discussion group sure can get us in deep, eh?

Speaking of Vitamin C, I've found that those zinc losenges are miraculous
as a cold remedy.  "Cold Ease" is great as are the store brands (I'm a CVS
man).

Taken at the first sign of a cold, they, as with massive doeses of Vitamin
C, seem to do the trick.

I'm faschinated by your description of Vinyl's superiority to CDs.  I've
yet to hear that but I sure will listen more closely.  My experience is
more that they're the same, with CDs often having a slight edge over vinyl.
