But they have, the vinyl records at least. A younger acquaintance wanted my advice on how to hook up a turntable to a computer so he could listen to his fathers Sinatra collection on his MP3 player. (Most of the local young artistic types around here worship B&W film, but that's not really a re-discovery).
I want to do the same thing so I can bump my old Humphry and the Dumptruck albums over to CD.
When enough of them have made the rediscovery, then we might see a few record shops opening up in the malls again.
I was talking to a young lady at the store yesterday who is doing all her black and white work on "real black and white film" (her words).
It's heartening, but a few enthusiasts do not keep an industry afloat.
