So far there are two rules for buying gospel records. No Leisure Suits on the cover and only two Cookes. (Means almost everything after 1972 is not that interesting)

Outsider artist Vojtech Kopic's rock gallery in Kacanovy, CZ. He was a farmer, self-taught musician and sculptor and over the span of more than 30 years he created over 50 scenes and inscriptions into the rocks behind his farm.

The US has a distinctive sound in solo acoustic steel-string guitar (much derives from "Sunflower River Blues"). European guitar duos have developed a distinctive sound as well: Kolbe/Illenberger, Le Masne/Porquet, Simansky/Niesner and these two:

I got an archival scanner made for digitizing books and it has made me feel so happy. I've been wanting a standardized way to take pictures of my records for YEARS. (chip clip not included)

Read the thread if you want the inside baseball as to why I wanted one of these.
