As usual after dinner
and a cold shower I was at my living room listening to my favourite music via
my beloved tube amp. With a cup of warm Old Town coffee in a room lighted with warm
incandescent light, Nat King Cole wouldn’t sound better.
This is the time when
everyone settles down with their own things. Computer keying in the bed room, TV
watching in the family room and babies snoozing in another room. Ahhhhhhhh it’s
a world of “to each his own”
In the living room, ambiance was just right. The turntable turns perfectly warming up for its debut
display in a week time at the Noising 2013. Suddenly Nat King Cole stopped
singing instead he hissed softly as if telling that something was not right.
And voila……smoke blew up from the amplifier and in no time the whole room was
covered with thick smoke.
It took the attention
of everyone at home. Computer keying stopped, TV watching stopped and all eyes
on me……kind like…. what’s wrong? I was in a shock too and it took us quite a while
to react until Yanti suggested switching off the main power to the household
and that was about three minutes later.
Phew…..the amplifier
was on fire and lucky everything else was ok. That was two Sundays ago, two
days before Eidul Adha, the day Nat King Cole hissed.
