    Yah, I got it in NOLA at some gift shop and thought it'd look dope. It does, get a lot of dap on it.

    The arbys poster, not so much. I kind of want to put a vintage italian Martini poster up, but that's kind of too mainstream.

    I like ur style.

    Neiman was friends with my boss, he had a bunch of art but I think he sold or donated most of it.

    Neiman was huge during the 70s and 80s - official artist for five different Olympics, multiple Super Bowls, the Kentucky Derby, the Master, etc., but most people don't recognize that print as a Neiman - which makes me like it even more. Plus, it just fits in with my style better than his later works.

    I'm also a big fan of S. Neil Fujita. In addition to being the art director at Columbia Records back in the 50s, he also did the cover art for The Godfather and In Cold Blood.

    I tend to like the design of most things from that time period (cars, furniture, clocks, lamps, etc.).

    This is the MasterCrafters Starlight Television Clock (1959) I licked up at Goodwill on my birthday last summer:

    Not terribly valuable (definitely worth more then the $6.99 I paid for it), but one of my favorite pieces.

    I had that very Dave Brubeck record album back in the 60s.
    Also, your receiver looks nearly identical to my old Pioneer, the one with the fet front end for picking up really sensitive signals, well, sensitive for those days.

    The receiver in that photo is a little Sherwood S-7100A. I tend to rotate through quite a bit of equipment and usually have three or four systems set up at home/work. I moved that Sherwood, along with a little Technics clamshell/linear tracking turntable into my office at work. The amp that always seems to find it's way back into my main vinyl listening system is the Yamaha A-1000. That was their top of the line integrated amp from 1983. I recently added a Harman Kardon T60 turntable, their top of the line model from 1983, to that system and they seem to work quite well together:

    I also collect post cards if the image is unique, interesting, or outlandish.

    I'm surprised one name has not been mentioned yet. Bob Ross. I would occasionally watch his painting show with my dad.
