I'm still rocking the speaker cabinets I made in shop class. Right in the living room. I've changed the speakers out a couple times, but the cabinets are solid. I made them in '78. Thats 31 years of music vibrating through them. From Kiss to Willie Nelson, Adam Ant to Seals&Croft, BlackFlag to The Doors. Eight track tapes of Elvis, cassettes of Madness, vinyl albums spinning out the crackling sounds of the end of the side, a portable CD player, a five disc changer, and now an mp3 player. Though the foam front covers rotted away several years ago and the tops are covered in cup/beercan ring stains, and one of my dogs pissed on them when he was a puppy, I could never bring myself to part with them. Wabi Sabi. Through use they have attained a worldly beauty. Random nicks and scratches and stains and dirt and memories, a natural process really. "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". turn, turn, turn...
