    That was wonderful. Steve is my brother and I have to say that many years ago I purchased a new stereo system with Steve"s help. I listened to several systems and speakers and I could hear the difference immediately. I have never been satisfied with "bad" sound since. By the way, Robin is a awesome quilt maker as well as making great shirts for Steve. They are both awesome.

    That was fantastic! I would note that quilts, in addition to being art, can be useful in changing the acoustics of a listening room. We were blessed to live near Lancaster,PA and began a small collection of Amish-made quilts. If I can ever afford some Klipsch Cornwall speakers, I will be able to test the benefit of our quilts properly!

    This is really great Steve - your ability to keep it real is appreciated - the level of understanding and respect and "love" between you and Robin is obvious. I met my Robin in Paris in 65' and over the years she allowed me to put some very large speakers into our apartments and homes. I remember driving to the PX in Germany to pick up a pair of Empire grenadier speakers. and those tall Magnapans and Dahlquests - on and on. It is so important as one grows older to have a companion to share life's memories. You two are wonderful. God Bless.

I visited there last about five years ago. I was also there in 1988 and back in 1957-59, lived on Governors' Island in New York Harbor, where I was a serviceman. Steve is fortunate to have you in his life!
