newbie basics (funk, house, cd, speakers, cover)

retro · 10-10-2007, 08:28 AM

I'm searching for words that wont offend, but the bottom line is I gag whenever I hear what passes for music today. I've resolved to find a way to play the music I like in my own house without earphones. Neither do I want to mortgage my house — a basic contrivance that will provide sound for an unsophisticated ear will do the trick.

Lets say I want to listen to Benny Goodman or Bunny Berrigan, what do I buy? What do I play it on?

I love that funky stuff they play in the swamps in Louisiana, you know with those little accordion squeeze box things. Is that stuff recorded? On what, if it is?

I'd really love some input, but I don't want to know about MP3s, a dollar a song, and anything that requires sticking something in my ear. I liked the way it was all on one machine when I was a kid.

Any help out there?
