A little music related fun (Part 1)

I hear the following, or something like it, all the time when I’m record shopping…
“I don’t know why I keep buying these, I don’t even have a record player”

I used to play the pipes at Medieval events.
One in particular one we used to hold in the forest outside Armidale (in Australia) a mix of Dark Age and Medieval.
We built hilltop and forest forts and had a Viking long house and would fight various battles over nearly a week.
I was playing my pipes behind one of these, various pipe standards but then broke into a version of Stairway to Heaven , one of the Scottish guys who was also a heavy metal drummer broke out of the lines and came over and said “Ohh I could feel my scrotum shrink into my body when ya played that!” :rofl:
High praise I felt.

Hah, I never did that with 3 1/2 floppies, only with 5 1/4 ones. The 3 1/2 had a non-symmetric design (what with the bevelled edge and the sliding thingie) and I never thought you could do that. Was there a read/write head for both sides??

Yes, absolutely, just like with the 5 1/4" ones. They came in DSDD (Double Sided, Double Density) and in DSHD (High Density). It was the hole that made the difference between DD and HD (and the material, supposedly).

That’s pretty much how they sound once perfected too

I liked Terry Pratchett’s description of a beginner luthier’s guitar:

The one that sounds like a cat going to the bathroom through a sewn up bum.
