Hey Guys and Gals,

I went to a Good Bye party yesterday night... The Person the party was happening at told me that their little stereo broke down on them, thus I kinda like drunk 3/4 bottle of red wine before going... this gave me enough balls to decide to bring the M90!

So, I put a shoulder strap on the M90, slapped in the rechargeable batteries, grabbed my best mixed Celtic music cassette (being that I am in Ireland and wanted to walk with the M90 to the party.... I had to put music that would be accepted by the indigenous folks)... Got compliments for the radio and music!!!!

At the party, I became the "DJ" and had a good feed-back on the M(90!!!!!!!!

But, I made no pics..... Sorry!

Now, the main thing I wanted to say about that night, is that when I went to bed, MY EARS WERE RINGING!!!!!!!!!!!!! My M90 is/was loud enough to make my ears ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Later!

very good bredgeo, it feels good afterwards right?  but yes we needed pics. hehehe

When you say "Celtic" music ...i assume you don't meant Celtic Frost!

but if you do,   

Damn this makes me feel old. We're talking box at a party and the curage to bring it along as if it were something out of the ordinary. In 2011 that's understandable, but I remember a time when it was unusuall not to have at least one if not several at just about any social gathering.

Back when I was a teenager weekend keg parties out in the sticks usually with a bonfire and too many people to count were quite common. At least every other person had a box with them if not more people than that. Sure there were car stereos, but back then we didn't have amplifiers and big speakers. Perhaps a "booster" and some 6x9 speakers, but that's about it. Besides you wanted your tunes someplace near you not off in the car. The box was the perfect solution. Portable, battery operated (where are you going to plug in out in the woods?) , loud enough to get the job done, and they run on a small and very common at the time media (cassette tapes). On top of that they were everywhere. Practically everyone had one it seemed from your grandparents to the 12 year old kid next door.

Campgrounds, parties, the beach, family reunions, barbecues, anyplace people got together you can bet there would be at least one box around blasting out some tunes.

Great stories.

When I was a teenager, sometimes when someone's parents went away for the weekend, they'd let their son or daughter host a gathering, which inevitably turned into an out of control house-party (some parents weren't too bright, back then).

We were all at one such house-party & the cheap-brand music centre in the lounge went badly wrong after too much volume.

I lived about ½mile away, so jumped on my pushbike & returned minutes later with my Hitachi 3D7 & a handful of tapes. My boomer ran at full power (not full volume - always edging back to avoid audible distortion) for hours without trouble. I swear it went louder & sounded better than that music centre...
