Default 'The Epitome'

I am a big fan of Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, a brilliant guitarist with a fascinating background that includes everything from being a founding member of Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers to earning a high level security clearance and consulting with the Defense Department on missile technology. His Facebook video yesterday was timed to coincide with the release of his new album ("Speed of Heat") on LP, and towards the end he said:

"I'm a big vinyl fan. I know some people who say dragging a rock across a piece of plastic is really not the epitome of musical quality. But, yes it is. Absolutely."

I figure it's safe to share this in the Vinyl group. And his new album is fantastic.
