| Time to get things straight. A fellow audiophile who is very knowledgeable--and a 1200 owner--e-mailed me once that trying to make people see this fact was like having a conversation with elderly people at an asylum. The lights are on but there's nobody home...Why someone lik... | |

| Recommended CD of Cuban music Do you want recording quality or music? I 'll give you music...But first, salsa is a Latin Caribbean phenomenom--started when mainly the Cubans and P/Ricans got together in NYC. It's hard to make a clear cut distinction, unless you *really* know t... | |
| Salsa and high energy latin jazz album suggestions Start here:"Rythm Machine", by the Fania All Stars. It's available on CD (Columbia Records). Columbia's first attempt at marketing Fania All Stars to the jazz crowd. It was also marketed to Hispanics, so it's a nice blend. The story says that the ... | |
