I had to post this. Went to dinner last night at Jeffrey's in Austin to celebrate my birthday with my wife, and good friends, Babybear (from our forum) and his wife. Great champagne, wine, dinner, excellent service, highly recommended, when our lovely server tells me that the restaurant plays only vinyl for the background music in the restaurant. I can't believe it so she tells Babybear. He can't believe it so while we are waiting for desserts we ask to see the record player in question. Our wives roll their eyes. She escorts us to the back of the restaurant and shows us a Technics TT sitting on a sturdy table spinning Minnie Ripperton. The cover is closed so nothing knocks the arm out of the grove. On a shelf above is a small stack of LPs that she told us gets changed every night. Very varied selections. When one LP runs out, the first server to notice picks something else and puts it on. The reason they use vinyl ? She said, "It just sounds better". Quick, someone call Michael Fremer! You can't make this stuff up. I got to choose the next record as it was my birthday celebration albeit a week early. My pick: Beatles, Hard Days Night, on Parlaphone.
