Canned Heat – “Going up the Country” (1969)

A couple of years ago Brian and I shipped out our ancient vinyl records to Jake and Zoe.

One afternoon Jake randomly put Canned Heat on the turntable. And loved it. The album is Future Blues (1970).

UE Roll Bluetooth speaker

So far I’m very pleased. Small form factor. Very durable. Good for travel. Good for my Coaching presentations.

I was inspired to buy a UE Roll when the speakers in my old laptop stopped functioning.

Wirecutter:

After listening to 30 of the most promising new Bluetooth speaker models on top of the 48 we originally tested last year, we think the UE Roll is the best choice for most listeners. It combines above-average sound quality with a waterproof, travel-friendly design that practically begs to be slipped into your suitcase or laptop bag. You can find speakers in the same price range that sound a little better, but in our opinion, you can’t find one that matches the Roll’s combination of sound quality, design, utility, and price.
