| Jazz for aficionados Hello again, Frogman...I’m afraid I don’t have anything too profound for you w/r to the Pat Metheny Quartet, Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall or Kenny Burrell links. I think what I have to admit is I’m not that big a fan of the traditional jazz guitar. No... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "I would like to get a better sense of what he likes and doesn’t like in jazz guitar...."Hey Frogman - Good luck with that! since I don't even know what I like or don't like - at least not until I hear it. To be clear, I wasn't ripping on Pat in... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Hello Rok. Been wondering where you were. Would say "welcome back" but that might be kind of presumptuous on my part (johnny come lately as it were)...never the less, WELCOME BACK! :-)Hey Frogman & O - my bad taste comment was made a little... | |
| Streaming music without a Laptop (or tablet, smartphone etc) I think Cocktail streamers might do this too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Figures you would be "steps ahead". hahahaI did give a quick listen to the Metheny, Brecker, McBride Jazz Baltica 2003. I do like Metheny but that straight up jazz guitar stuff just doesn’t (usually) do much for me. I did not get too far ... | |

| Cable for my Rythmik F12SE Sub Greetings bdp. Thanks for that history on your Kimbers. Maybe some day I'll try a pair of Heroes but right now I've got a good few IC options "in the bank". I'll probably get some Kimber 8PR for the SVS subs. | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You Yes - Big Generator. Only liked Shoot High Aim Low when it first came out. Thought the album was too blatantly commercial. Almost 30 years later, now thinking this is a great album. Songs are strong; arrangements and sound quality are great. | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup Hey @jond - glad to return a favor. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "...no musical ideas at all there."Huh. Well, inna, I'm not prepared to say that yet. Haven't made it through the entirety of Superstring but can say their music is growing on me. Right now listening to Track 6 Smbh and liking it. Only time w... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup @sbank - Thanks for your comments, especially the tips on the album artwork. I need to see if I can identify some common denominator between the albums that are missing artwork via the Lightning. I don't have any purchases from the iTunes store... | |
