What about 78s? They aren't vinyl. Truthfully, I'd have to say Chubby Checker - The Twist. Go ahead.... laugh. Account frozen... |

As a blind user, it just isn't worth the hassle. On top of that my speach program eats up the CPU and so slows down my crunching. Are there any other members on here blind or partially sighted? How do you cope? Baz Alien Pet Lover |

My first record (vinyl) was Dynamite (cannot remember the singer) from 1957 I think you may be right. It was a very rock oriented record, and may have contributed to her handle ... Little Miss Dynamite. However, I cannot get Google or the Brenda Lee sites to confirm this ... Therefore it's all consigned to history and faded memory! It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Are there any other members on here blind or partially sighted? How do you cope? Um. Just counting up the number of times I said "see" or "look" in my reply. Sorry! I've self-certified my web site to the WAI Double-A Accessibility level (using various checking programs) but you are the first person I know who could give me any feedback. I would appreciate any comments, if you have the time. |

Um. Just counting up the number of times I said "see" or "look" in my reply. Sorry! Nothing wrong with that. I am too old for all this stupid political correctness. I've self-certified my web site to the WAI Double-A Accessibility level (using various checking programs) but you are the first person I know who could give me any feedback. I would appreciate any comments, if you have the time.[/quote] I will come back on this point. This site is usable only if you have a decent conversion program.

The first single I bought myself: The Beatles: Yellow Submarine/ Eleanor Rigby (The cover didn't look like that one in the Wiki, it was a replica of the Revolver album) The first single I got as a present (from my big sister! ;-D ): The Troggs: I Can't Control Myself (I don't remember the b-side, it was a boring song) It was banned from BBC because of the lyrics, and listening to it today, I think I could be happy that my parents didn't understand English back then. :-O The first cassette tape I bought (my dad spoiled me so I was the first in school who had a cassette tape player) for the money I got for my 15'th birthday: The Beatles: Abbey Road. I actually still have that cassette tape. And the first vinyl LP I bought, back when I started to date him who became my ex-husband, who had a gramophone, was: Neil Young: Harvest In fact I have never had a cd-player so I only play cd's on my computer and later on my iPod, so my CD collection is not that big, since I have downloaded more albums than I have bought. But I think my first bought CD was: Carl Orff: Carmina Burana "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me |

My first record (vinyl) was Dynamite (cannot remember the singer) from 1957 Found this discography listing of a single by Brenda Lee in '57 titled 'Dynamite'. And if you click on the song title on this page (a listing for a Brenda Lee boxed set compilation), you can hear a sample. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Bob Geldof gave me a Bananarama cassette and the sound track American Graffitti which i listened to death and still love that music. Although I haven't listened to Bananarama since for some reason. Probably because they are crap. I also seem to remember buying a Paul Young cassette too. Reality Internet Personality |

The first ever was a tape of Vivaldi - the four seasons. I believe the second was a tape collection of Beethoven's Symphonies 1 to 9. I believe the third was a tape of Tchaikovsky's 1812. BOINC WIKI |

The first ever was a tape of Vivaldi - the four seasons. I used to have an old wire recorder. Wish I still had it... but I don't think music was it's forte'. Account frozen... |

The first ever was a tape of Vivaldi - the four seasons. Wire recorders...grammophones...player pianos dinosaurs roaming the Earth... ;)) Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. Albert Einstein |

The first ever was a tape of Vivaldi - the four seasons. As long as no-one mentions to have bought a vinyl album from the "Golden 20's" as their first achievement, it's okay, isn't it? Account frozen... |
