Killer Tunes in Garage?

I've got a Pioneer receiver of some sort. It's a nice ones the kids bought me for Father's Day some years ago. But I'm not up on the specs. Pioneer CD player. It all sits in a cabinet on top of a non functioning Onkyo receiver i bought when i was 18. I vow some day to have it repaired. It's such a cool piece. For speakers - I've got some Definitive Technology indoor outdoor jobbies. 

It sounds pretty good and will crank up. But it sounded much better in the older, smaller space. In the new space, it's a little weak in my opinion. But, I've been known to crank it up to the point that neighbor's either complain or join the party. so maybe my perception is off a bit. Ha. 

I run most of my music through my phone these days. So my next add will be a blue tooth adapter. 

Some days when i go out to "work" I end up just sitting in my lawn chair amidst my stuff and listening to music. Don't get a lot done. But I'm good with it....

As I think about it,   the evolution of tunes did start with boom-box,    then when Kenwood system got booted from house, it went to garage.     The Bose was next.

I am not a fussy music listener and fall into the "good enough" school of playback equipment. 

I have a single blue tooth speaker that to me sounds surprisingly good and it's usually playing the "classic rock" channel from Pandora beamed from my phone. 

Haven't got much feedback from the neighbors except some that I see at church. These are younger people that walk by with their kids and they say it makes them smile when they hear some 70's headbanging music wafting out of "Brother Fuller's" garage. 

rocnroll this is our Silvertone its a 1936 4485 all electronically restored. It used to be in the Hobby Shop I did business with the owner was very proud of it it sat playing all the time inbetween a couple of his big show cases. The one Christmas tired from the day he left a candle burning on top of it and it burned down and ruined the veneer on the top. He was very mad at himself and at the time I was selling him some WWII era model airplane engines. Well somehow it got brought up how much I would like the radio and he sold it to me for what he had put into the restoration. A very fair price on my side.

Brought it home the wife looked in her drawer of fancy doilies and pulled one out the perfectly fit the top hiding the damage and we listen to it every Christmas. With a 75ft long wire antenna I have pulled in stations from the UK to Australia and a bunch I have no idea where they are due to the language spoken.

The Danelectro story is interesting indeed. 

It was perhaps the ultimate "Mom and Pop" business in the postwar period. 

I have a Danelectro model 3022. It's the "bronze" model or what ever you'd call that finish. 

Rest assured I'm not well versed on old instruments but I got this from my father in the late sixties and have held onto it since. 

It's in pretty fair shape. 

I assume you know what I mean by a "lipstick model".

If so you might enlighten the under 60 crowd. 

Nice post. Hope it lasts on this page for a while.
