babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.

OMG no!
When I was a teen, I used to borrow vinyl records from the public library (couldn't afford to buy any - and borrowing was 10 cents a week, believe it or not). Scratched, but heavenly. And among the most heavenly were DGG labels (Deutsche Gramofon Gesellschaft) featuring Fisher-Dieskau singing baroque, classical... The tastes you acquire in those years endures for a lifetime. [The radio had to suffice for the Stones, Who, Beatles, etc.]
Rest in peace - and join the heavenly choir! Your tones will resonate forever down here.
