.I recall vividly "an experience" with the then-top of the line Klipsch speakers, Onkyo receiver, some preamp, and the Alan Parsons Project "I Robot" album...(yes, kids--ALBUM).
...quite colorful, quite...mind expanding.
*somewhere* between Nashville and Memhis TN...
I was the decoy in a Muscle Car, Yellow, Black Racing Stripes, Hurst shifter and Speedometer went to 160 mph.
"They" took the bait, salesrep made it to an exit, and headed to where he needed tobe heading...Using CB's back then
"They", were serious folks, and I was too, work that Hurst and Hammer down...cruising on I40 with the speed limit being 140 mph and all...well, I was close to where needing to be , them light bars lit up in the other side of the median, well that worked in my favor. I headed down a road, and flipped that toggle, no brake lights when brakes applied, light bars in rear view going back and forth, one even come down the road where I turned off...
I'd CB'd ahead. Parked in the shed down the way, and in the dark just followed the sound to the big barn up the road.
Klipsch Speakers , Onyo receiver, Allman Bros at the Fillmore East on the Turntable, Cranked up of course, just followed the sound.
One of them little known " how raised - whatcha did" , Good tunes, Good Folks, Good Food.
Why that barn even had some live bands show up from time to time...
Light bars never found that car, very few knew of that barn. Two planes had landed earlier, my lady business pard had arrived in one, with a bunch of paint cans full of Tamales from Does in Greenville, MS. Other was another fella, in the same business, he had flown in and brought BBQ from the Rendevous in Memphis.
The Catfish was from a joint more local.
We liked good tunes, while eating good food, with good folks.
Sometimes the Klispch Speakers were outside, used at the private Skeet Fields [ 3 of them].
I miss some folks now gone - can still grin at the memories tho'.
