My 2 cents. It's simply history repeating. In the beginning there were little black plastic discs called 45 rpms, then there were the LONGER ones called long-playing albums. Then came the stereo-8 cartridges and later "compact cassettes" and tapes.....shall i go on??! I was the LP generation, but I wasn't at all shocked when CDs took over coz I had to admit the sound quality was better in many cases!!. We shouldn't bulge and binge about the USB and digital thing coz this is the FUTURE....like it or not :)!!!
No, Nikka's not gone.....at least I think...........in any case, she was quite poppy, but was the daughter of Don Costa, one of rock's greatest arrangers......ignorance is bliss, ain't it??!!:)
