I'm glad you liked it. She's amazing! I'm neither country nor rock and roll really but she's great.
Your Dad seems very much like mine. You know he got a big compensation payout before he died and as he would never spend it (as he'd be dead soon) he spent 10k on speakers and 3 k on the most awesome headphones you can imagine(AUD). Now that's someone who loves his tunes.
Yeah that sounds like my dad. When tube speakers came out, he got some of the really good ones (Sennheiser), and raved about the sound quality. Which is interesting, because his hearing wasn't the best. Then, when wireless headphones were the thing, he got some of those, too. He loved to spend his money on those things. But he did it too much, and never saved a dime. He would've lost his inheritance if it wasn't for my brother taking out a loan for paying out the siblings and renovating the house.
