For those who may not know, our beautiful friend, Topper, passed away yesterday on February 4, 2023. He was not only a wonderful personality but he was also a super talented musician who played multiple instruments. He love of vinyl recordings came from a professional musicians aspect. Some of us not only followed and watched him in various bands that he performed with back in the 1980s and beyond, but we also had the honor to jam with him. He was a great guitar player, keyboard player and singer, AND also a father, husband and friend. We will miss Topper.

Hey, Topper. I'm a friend of your son Jon, I met him on Xbox about 12-13 years ago, and I just wanted to tell you that you raised a really good guy. I think the world of him, and I know you've had some bad things happen lately. I know you don't know me, but I'm going to keep all of you in my thoughts. I hope you feel better and thank you for being awesome as always. Keep on keepin' on, bud.

I was literally wondering what happened to you last night. Was really hoping you were doing ok, and I’m glad to see that you are

Anyone who has that Gentle Giant boxed set deserves to feel good every day! Keep the faith Topper.

Oh so glad to see you back here! Praying for your continued recovery. We’ve missed your easygoing positive vibes and just so grateful you are doing better! Keep those good tunes spinning!

I had a,2 1/2 lb tumor removed from my stomach's lining in Nov 2018.i have GIST cancer lost 50 lbs.The cancer comes and goes,it will never really leave ...I hope your good...i always like your videos...peace my brother....Geno

The records are cool and all, but it's just great to see you back! Thank you for making the video and keeping us all informed. Stay well and take care...

Miss you, man! Hope and pray all is well

Great to see you back Oddbox. I hope your recovery is smoothe and ongoing. Take your time, the body heals at its own pace. May I say how well you look, you remind me of Dennis Hopper with your new haircut. Very dashing sir. Keep on keeping on. Peace from New Zealand.

Hey Topper! Great to see you again! I don’t know you personally, but I wanted to let you know that about four years ago I was struggling mightily with an addiction to alcohol. Seems kind of silly now, but your videos really helped calm me down when I was all by myself going through withdrawals. Just wanted to say thanks and keep on truckin’!

11:20 You're totally right. It's generally quite easy to tell if some album covers and film posters are from 1967, the letter type and the overall layout scream psychedelia in a way that is not frequently seen in 1966 and much less in 1968, despite being fully into the psychedelic Era. It feels like it was a short-living trend.

Aw I'm so sorry! And hope your doing better! You bring so much to my joy heart!

It's always a good day when I get to see your face on the tube Topper. ✌❤

Hey Topper! Sorry to hear about your health issues. What is really great to see is that you have been so missed by the many folks that love your videos. That is something meaningful. Peace!

Hey, thank you for this video. I'm new to your channel and these recommendations are so awesome. Lots of stuff I've never heard about but I gave it a listen on streaming and most of it is now on my want list and I had to ordered the Ed Wynne LP right away. I'll be looking back through you videos and I have a great feeling that my musical universe is about to expand. Cheers!
