Whether taken to a stadium concert or your local bar, the zoom h2 personal handheld recorder records quality mp3 surround sound every time! I saw the “Zoom H2 Handheld Recorder” for the first time on the G4 network last week. I knew that there were quality...

I was a child of the 80’s so hair metal was my thing. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t appreciate all the guitar slingers I heard during that time. The first time I really got into Gary Moore was during his “Still got the Blues” phase...
