My Geekdom
Don’t get me wrong, vinyl has many wonderful uses. It makes great tarps, tents, umbrellas, siding, etc…but when I say I love vinyl, I’m talking records. There’s something about this technical recording media that fascinates me. I like the look, the mechanism, the sound, the whole experience of picking out a record, wiping it down before putting it on the turntable, and then dropping the needle.
I use my record collection for inspiration. Sometimes when I need to clear my mind, I set up my easel, put on a record, and paint. Then there are times when I play records to get in a specific mood for writing. I can’t explain it, but vinyl records make me want to create.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

We still have a ton of vinyl records. They say the sound quality on them is better than digital. (Minus the pops and cracks of course!)
The quality is really good until it isn’t. 😉
