In today’s episode of The Daily Grateful, Michael reflects on the power of analog in a digital world. From a rare 1962 White Springs bluegrass festival recording to original master tapes sitting on his studio floor, he explores how physical objects create scarcity, value, and connection. Along the way, he shares stories about collectible vinyl, a surprising Army discharge document from 1919, and why books — real books — sharpen focus and reduce distraction. Analog isn’t just nostalgic; it’s resilient, imperfect, and deeply human. If you’ve ever loved the smell of a book or the crackle of a record, this one’s for you.
