A lot of truth in what you say, O-10.
But down the road a piece, for those who come after us, if the live music dies it will all die .

Jazz for aficionados
"When it comes to music, I'm mostly into "classic jazz"; although I've tried to venture out, I always come back," Orpheus- With all the derivatives in music today, "straight ahead" Jazz is like coming home. Im not a fan of "smooth jazz" which seems populate the Jazz stations. I suppose its a "gateway" for new listeners. As a long time guitar player, Im a big fan of the guys who sat in those bands behind Billie, Ella and the crooners-Freddie Green,Jim Hall,Barney Kessel... So much great music to discover, or rediscover on a nice cheap record. The hunt continues... |
orpheus, since you listen to jazz station streaming, have you ever tried KSDS FM, the City College station in San Diego? I favor music from the '50s to early '70s and they continue to cover quite a lot of that. https://www.jazz88.org/default.asp I started listening to jazz in the late '50s as I finished high school. They say we favor what we grew up with and in large part that is true for me. Now a good portion of my 3K LP collection is jazz from that era. |
orpheus10- Morning breakfast here, enjoying a cup of dark Italian roast while listening to a 10" Barney Kessel on the Contemporary label. Simply fabulous music. I was fortunate in getting this one cleaned on one of those fancy Audiodesk ultrasonic cleaners...Wow! I've been on the fence, buying one of these pricey machines. Yes, I try and seek out the players. It part of the hunt,since most of this stuff is practically nonexistent I have the luxury of a neighborhood record store(used exclusively) The owner informs me of the latest arrivals. Always a joy to find something that has been dismissed as unobtanium, and its between a Mitch Miller Xmas album and a Polka record. |
