| More Oldies but Goodies like Nina Simone? If you want to hear some roots of rock’n’roll, listen to Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharp. I believe Mahalia stayed with gospel music, but Sister Rosetta veered into secular music. If you’re into rock and haven’t heard them, you’re in for ... | |
| New Audiogon equipment search format. @pbnaudio Peter,The peephole photos are virtually useless and you are right to object to extra fees to display your items. I started browsing another dealer’s listings and gave up because of the peepholes. It defeats the whole point of showing pho... | |
