Why no new records lately?

Just in case anyone is wondering why I haven’t posted anything new in the last week or so, I’m waiting for a new sound card. The thing is supposed to arrive tomorrow, so hopefully I’ll have some fresh records posted by later in the week with New Improved Fidelity!! If the audio quality is a lot better with the new sound card I’ll probably re-record some of the old posts...
