\"Ray<\/a>When Mary and I moved into our house on Cortland, like every other time I’ve moved, my first priority was getting the stereo set up\u00a0so we would have music to move in\u00a0to and soothe our savage souls.\u00a0 So I did that but\u00a0this time I decided not<\/em> to connect the turntable. I only had about 40 or 50 vinyl albums left anyway.\u00a0 I would discard them as I bought their replacements on Compact Disc.<\/p>\n

So the last time I had a turntable hooked up to anything was Dec 2nd, 1988. I would eventually give my turntable and remaining albums to\u00a0a friend of mine named John Hunter.\u00a0Now it was truly a New Age<\/em> in\u00a0terms of technology as\u00a0well as with music and matrimony.<\/p>\n

Feverish for more New Age\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0music, I set my sights on Ray Lynch’s <\/em> only other album at the time, 1983’s The Sky Of Mind<\/em>.\u00a0 This one was good but not quite as refined and polished as Deep\u00a0Breakfast. <\/em> It featured more standard acoustic instruments in place of the electronic stuff. It was slower and more Zen, <\/em>if there is such a thing.\u00a0 It was softer, slower and more soulful. If you can just sit in a recliner, clear your mind\u00a0and listen to this album with your eyes closed or looking at some softly falling, rain, leaves or snow, you might experience true inner piece.<\/p>\n
