3:33⅓ Ramsey Lewis - Funky Serenity

I just successfully replaced a cartridge on a turntable for the first time in my life. And I did it under a time limit and while using my thumbnail as a screwdriver. I feel amazing. First off, I’m really glad I had an extra stylus in my car. I got paid some nice money to DJ a wedding this summer and I didn’t want to mess anything up so I bought some extras and some nice headphones. I’m really glad I did that, I listen to the music on Jazz88 on great headphones everyday and it really makes a difference. ATHM30x is the exact style that I chose to go with. But I had the stylus hanging in a bag in my car and I was able to replace the totally shot stylus on turntable number two over here at Jazz88. What a treat.

I am the opposite of handy but I am working to fight that. I can figure out a lot of stuff in life, I should be able to fix simple tools and implements that I rely on for my livelihood and my family’s comfort. So, a big moment for me to get that thing fixed and sounded good in time to play some music from Ramsey Lewis and I just adore how Ramsey does it on the electric keyboard (in this case I believe a Wurlitzer, not a Rhodes, but I could be wrong). Yum. Thank you Ramsey, and may you rest in peace.

The Record.
