So this was the first suite I visited at AXPONA and was following my old scheme of lots of pictures and no capture of what music was played. It was not like I had seen half a dozen rooms that I realized it is more important to capture the experiences than just pictures.

I kept wondering what was up with the dog and other statutes on the speakers.....

... Until I realized they were selling them! I personally thought they looked cheesy. Another vintage looking speaker company had done the same.

I guess fitting with the speaker's look, they were playing some old fashioned music that sounded bland and boring to me. Shame as horns can be superbly dynamic and you want to play something that makes them shine.

Ok amir, a step into the twilight zone. I am very please you made it out of there alive, seems to be some kind of breach in the space time continuum.

Back to 60's ... What in the world are those dogs all about? Alien listening devices??

Resonators :eek::eek:

Man, I am not letting you go to these places on your own any more:confused:

If I go with you Thomas, they wouldn't let us in the room. I am pretty sure no horses are allowed....

I dunno... Devialet might let her in.

The Dog: His Master's Voice.
I recognized him from my childhood; the dog would listen to his master's voice off a record player with small horn.

Quote from Wiki: "Nipper (1884–1895) was a dog who served as the model for a painting titled His Master's Voice. This image was the basis for the dog-and-gramophonelogo used by several audio recording and associated brands:Victor Talking Machine Company, Gramophone Company, Berliner Gramophone, His Master's Voice, HMV, EMI, RCA, RCA Victor, Victrola, Electrola, Bluebird, Zonophone, JVC and Deutsche Grammophon."

Old people love figurines.

Careful, I do not believe we are supposed to be talking about beautiful girls with great slender figures:):):):):):):).
I think we can talk about horses.
