welcome back Chris

[Mchaggis67]

good to see you man

[kingsdrummer]

Great to see you posting again Chris. Hope you post more. Missed you and your vinyl finds. It's great to see you again !!

[ballroom23]

Thank you for the heads up about Agharta.

[babylonseeker]

Chris, you do not know how HAPPY I am to see you. a journey within, and withdrawn from others, is indeed very necessary sometimes, and highly understandable. I nearly cried tears of joy when I saw you uploaded a video!! a spiritual brother you are indeed of me,of us all. and as always, so many great records you showed!I haven't heard of that Miles, but as you know I'm getting into him now and I MUST check Agharta out! One of the places I go to had Dark Magus,a bit pricey but I should get it.

[jimster24]

Love the Agharta Chris. Great to see you back! Have watched only a few of your videos, but from what I have seen, you talk with great passion and knowledge! Thank you! Best wishes.

[astraltraveler68]

@jimster24 hi there..thank you for the fine comment...appreciate it...

Agharta still moves me just like when i was a kid!...just a beast of an album!

[wertsdb71]

Great to see you in the community again Chris. You just light up when you start talking about good music you enjoy... you really do! Like night and day, man.

Missed you. -B

[astraltraveler68]

@wertsdb71 thanks Blake...I have some records I need to get out too you.

Thanks for the positive vibes...

[cosmicrider287]

@astraltraveler68 no problem,i`m very happy to send them to ya.

[Paneeks1960]

Welcome back Chris. You stayed away a long time and I am really glad you are back. Excellent comeback video. I liked to hear what you said about the Miles LP that you bought. "You know you are going to be into something when you drop the needle to the record". He amazes me more and more everytime I hear him play.

It is really nice to see that your OK. I was really worried about you this time around.

Rob/Boston

[astraltraveler68]

@Paneeks1960 love you rob...

[MuziekMusicMuziek]

[etatbrut23]

[astraltraveler68]

@etatbrut23 from your videos..I think you would love it!

It has been reissued..BTW subbed you as well..some amazing stuff you rarely see!

Thank you for the kind comment..

[AndersInStockholm]

Im so happy to see you Chris! It's a beautiful sunny day in Stockholm, before I go out I will clean my appartment while listening to Agartha. Feel like writing some music today, yeah, I got inspired from watching your video. Thank you! Do what you need to do my friend, I love your videos but the most important thing for me is that you do the things that makes you happy. I hope you stay for a while, love to see more videos from you. Take care and lots of love /Anders

[astraltraveler68]

@AndersInStockholm thank you for your package anders much appreciated!

Will make a video soon..much love too you too...Chris

[AndersInStockholm]

@astraltraveler68

So you got them, great! I send to Dereck also posted the same day but they havn't showed up yet.

You already said thank you, no need for a video if you are not up for it, no obligations.

Hope you like the music.

[Chris4127basket]

Just stop here to say hello, nice to see you! these picks are amazing/ many I don't know. Agharta is so essential, I agree pete cosey is so underrated! You probably know 'dark magus' three guitar players (cosey, lucas and the amazing dominique gaumont) another stunning record. much love, Chris

[astraltraveler68]

@Chris4127basket hi Chris..hope your well..I used to have dark magus..know it well!

That napalis is worth trying to find...

[stephan73]

Welcome back my friend! So good to see you again...

I've seen records on that Negram label, so I guess I need to pick them up from now on! :) Great update as always. You dig very deep and show records that no-one else shows. Keep it up! Please take care and hope to see more of you in the future! Your friend from Holland!

[astraltraveler68]

@stephan73 hi stephan..great too see you too..much love chris

[SublimMedia]

[astraltraveler68]

@stephievon love you too steph...

[turntabillist]

Just finished watching this GREAT video. Not much I can say that hasn't already been said. Clearly you are a person here with far reaching influence and inspiration to many members, myself being one of them! Amazing records, as always.

[astraltraveler68]

@turntabillist thanks my friend..much appreciated..thanks for watching!

[mphsVinylJim]

Really excellent knowledge of music and these are cool albums. The Mrs and I are attempting to learn and appreciate jazz. We just listened to Face to Face - Blue Note original - Baby Face Willette. Its awesome. I can relate to your first comments. I do want to say your presence & videos are always welcome. Yet, everyone should respect your decision. You are putting your foot in with what the VC is here for. Much respect for that, sir. You are an awesome vinyl collector. ~ mphsVinylJim & the Mrs

[astraltraveler68]

@mphsVinylJim you guys are wonderful and real folks!

I actually love your's and the Mrs videos...dig the fact you are true to your real passion americana but opened minded enough to expand the horizons..

So I respect you guys as people and human beings first and foremost!

BTW jimi hendrix changed my life!...I know you guys love jimi.

Much love to you and the Mrs..I might try to do your romantic thread..:)

[mphsVinylJim]

@astraltraveler68 I just want to say again how special the spoken word entry was to us and especially Mother. She stated how much it meant to her when she was a special channel guest over the phone to announce her choice for the contest. Well just trying to get tired enough to go to sleep - playing Cat Stevens, Van Morrison, and Dave Clark Five on the table. Blessings mate. Keep groovin' ... cheers. ~ mphsVinylJim & the Mrs

[onebigholiday42]

Very interested in that Moolah record based on your description. Never heard anything about them before, I'm going to have to see if I can find anything to give them a listen. Don't worry about being peppy, just glad to see you again on here. Cheers - Andy

[astraltraveler68]

@onebigholiday42 hi Andy it is an affecting listen..there are several you tube clips...:)

It is a good kinda of "weird"...:)

[vinylg1975]

[astraltraveler68]

@vinylg1975 thanks for the positive vibes my friend!

[Zappa21786]

Great to see you back on the VC, Chris! You were def missed bro!!

[astraltraveler68]

@Zappa21786 thanks my friend..I am still a bit off but trying...

[Zappa21786]

@astraltraveler68 I know that I'm speaking the same praises that everyone else is. Work at your own pace, we're not goin anywhere w/o ya! It's not just about music, it's about bein a family as well. By the way, great finds. B/w you and Dereck, I can't keep up w/ all of this music I've never heard before lol.

[astraltraveler68]

@Zappa21786 ha..ha...at least you will have built a wealth of knowledge thru the vc!

Thanks for your time and support!

[tbw3100]

Hey Chris, nice collection of music right out of left field again! Glad to see you are back , Take care of yourself and be well.

[astraltraveler68]

@tbw3100 left field seems to be my forte here..lol.

[glowing00cabbage]

This is gonna sound a bit cheesy man but....seeing your mug on here again made my day.

[astraltraveler68]

@glowing00cabbage Aww..I love you too jeff...:)

[dereckvon]

You were really missed.

[astraltraveler68]

@dereckvon I did not realise how much these videos meant to people.

Maybe it is my own short sightedness..it does take a lot for me too make these videos.

I am a very introverted person..my energy has to be right for them...i'll try to keep plugging away..

[Phonographies]

Astonishing Chris! Thank you for your video... and your presence. I was literally taking notes on every titles... musicians... pressings & labels, etc. So much in your collection and an astounding knowledge you have; a deep musical richness.

Simply time...! Take care | Peace | Eric

[astraltraveler68]

@Phonographies hi Eric..I know your one of my biggest fans on here..thank you so much for your appreciation!..I do hope you find some of this stuff on your digging journey's.

[ImperviousMason]

[astraltraveler68]

@BioCYTE1 lj I got your package and will thank you proper soon.

Thank you for sending it!..I actually needed that lp!..beautiful..love you brother.

[DoctorDeadwax]

that Napalis looks interesting, will have to look out for it. Glad to see you surface, keep taking care of yourself my friend, protect yourself when you need to, just don't isolate yourself unnecessarily, cause you got some friends here. :)

[astraltraveler68]

@DoctorDeadwax good advice mark..:)..that napalis is tough!..but if anybody can luck up on it cheap it is you..glad your back too making a strong presence in the vc.

It is snowy here too!

[DoctorDeadwax]

@astraltraveler68 I'm glad to be back too, but had to take time away from TheVC to deal with family and life, and will have to do so again in the imminent future. It's a nice place to come back to. ;)

[astraltraveler68]

@DoctorDeadwax totally understand..I appreciate your videos because there uniquely you.

With your own special take on the hobby and music..and i will say this you are one of the funniest dudes in the vc..always make me laugh..which I need and appreciate.

I have some wax still for you...harry is goin need a jacket..Blake man come on..lol.

[DoctorDeadwax]

@astraltraveler68 tks chris, no worries on the wax man, it'll happen when it happens if it happens, as you can see I have enough to keep me busy for a while, I could stop buying today and it would take a year to get through the inbox at least... shit I hope my wife doesn't read my comments too :shock:

[seqouiaflame]

Fantastic video as always! Lots I don't know about and will search for! I hope that you center yourself Chris and keep making vids! I truely missed you my brother. So glad to have you back. LOVE!!!

[astraltraveler68]

@seqouiaflame the journey continues...thanks for the love david.

[nathanrmorales]

Glad to see you man...I'm glad you're okay. I was starting to wonder. Moo Lah..looks cool. They way you described it sounds like something I'd like to get into.

[astraltraveler68]

@nathanrmorales hi brother..it is very weird but has a definite FEEL too it.

Check out the you tube clips..

[dereckvon]

I'm just glad to see you and I really hope you feel like hanging for awhile. That Agharta is jaw dropping!!

[astraltraveler68]

@dereckvon I will try my best..man I had been jonesing for that lp!

I think I was right saying it was a paradime shift..the band is really the star of that one.

Pete cosey's solos on that lp are some of the best out guitar playing ever!

Man deserves wider acclaim..

[McSoappy]

That Napalis album looks SICK! I really appreciate your candor, and thank you so much for sharing with all of us!

[astraltraveler68]

@McSoappy hi David indeed it is!..saw you mention everybody's records..lol..

I got stories..:)...well I believe the vc is family so I should be honest!

[McSoappy]

@astraltraveler68 Uh oh! :) Do tell about the Everybody's Records tales!

[astraltraveler68]

@McSoappy soon...:)

[McSoappy]

@astraltraveler68 Sounds good...

[dereckvon]

Hey Chris, really missed you. Left you a few messages.

[astraltraveler68]

@dereckvon I love you dereck sorry I isolated myself I know you understand.

Hopefully we can talk soon I'd like that..

[dereckvon]

@astraltraveler68 Tomorrow evening.

[astraltraveler68]

@dereckvon I took tommorow off so that is good..I wish i had Skype for you.

I know you hate phones..and I get it!..there is more too say but will talk.

[TheZeekgeek1]

I learn a tremendous amount from your videos.

[astraltraveler68]

@TheZeekgeek1 I'm glad..thank you for watching I appreciate it.

[thetcha70]

Glad to see you again, Chris! I hope you find whatever you need to make you feel whole. I can relate to a lot of what you said in terms of the changes in the world as well as my own need for occasional introspection. You were missed!

[astraltraveler68]

@thetcha70 hi Robert..I have always been a very introspective person.

Mainly because I am an explorer of the human spirit and condition..I am sensitive to the world around me..thanks for understanding..

[McSoappy]

Really excited to see you back bruddah! I literally smiled when I saw you in my subscription box!

[astraltraveler68]

@McSoappy hi David congrads on the subs..I'll try to get a video made for you.

[TheInfiniteGroove]

Man, am I glad to see you.

[astraltraveler68]

@TheInfiniteGroove hi Anthony..I have not forgotten about your lp's.

[TheInfiniteGroove]

@astraltraveler68 I did! Haha, Chris, that's really not necessary. Just seeing and learning from you is enough seriously. Though I choose not to talk about it openly I feel the same way about a lot of things. I wish I had more to say on that but, we're all just doing our best to make sense out of this existence. I'm really just so glad you're doing okay. PM me your address Chris. I have an LP for you, that I thought I might never get to give to you. Talk to you soon.

[astraltraveler68]

@TheInfiniteGroove I struggle with a lot everyday..but i am still here..will do.

Talk to you soon..

Meanwhile, nobody in here but us chickens....Someday, I hope to have as much control and awesome will power as you, my friend. Also-blowing minds with your pick-ups!

[astraltraveler68]
