I wonder what causes most youtube videos to freeze up on my computer. For some reason this one plays: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0 even though it would seem to use way more bandwidth.

Linda, were you ever familiar with Warehouse Sound out of California and "Brillo Bob" in the 70s? I had catalog after catalog from them, (wish I still had them) of stereo gear including JBLs, Pioneer etc (all the cool stuff). They would put systems together at different price ranges and list them for sale. I bought all my 70s gear Mail order then because you could get that 100wpc amp for the price of that 40 wpc amp from your local stereo dealer. I sure wish I still had all those original JBL adds the stores gave away which I accumulated then.

I remember another outfit in the same area that would include long extentable (like an antenna) roach clips, "To further enhance the Highs in the room" with the purchase. Then, (the 70's) there was no place in my local area to buy qulity stereo gear. I had to drive 50 miles to even see any.

I visited my brother in the late 70s and we rode 2 up on a Norton to San Luis Obispo just to go to Warehouse sound. There i met Brillo Bob, who, by the way, did not like being called "Brillo". He is the guy in the middle above the O. Thanks for the memories Linda.

Thanks Linda, I remember this ad clearly.
