| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Kb54, nothing is "without question" in a subjective field. I've had two or three guitar students over the years who did not like the Beatles. There are no absolutes. | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Never got him until I heard him with an acoustic guitar and no band behind him. Still can't stand the E-Street Band stuff. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bartok SQ #2, Julliard; VSOP Qunitet, side 3. Mahavishnu Orch, Apocalypse, side 1. | |
| Well recorded solo piano and solo acoustic guitar? Tommy E. is definitely not low-keyed. Totally opposite. | |
| Well recorded solo piano and solo acoustic guitar? Oregonpapa, I'm afraid John Williams is a bit frisky for the OP. He knows how to crank up the tempo. | |
| Name The Intro I missed seven. Six of them are totally unfamiliar to me. I love stuff like this. When I was about 12 the local AM station would have "rusty record" contests and the first to call with the correct I.D. on the tune played would win. They eventually... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks, Schu--and FWIW, that is one really fine-sounding recording. I need to check the engineering and producing credits. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Bdp, that reminds me--a friend once dropped acid and went to an E. Power Biggs organ concert. Must have been fantastic. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bill Evans, "Alone." Robert Gordon w/Link Wray & Jordanaires. Julliard Quartet, Bartok #1. Modern Jazz Quartet, some kind of "best of" 2-LP set on Atlantic. | |
| Your favorite recent discovery Puddles. A towering tenor who does great covers of contemporary pop tunes. Go to you tube or check out puddlespityparty.com. I recommend starting with "Royals" or "Hallelujah." Satisfaction guaranteed (or your money back). | |
| Best speakers to buy for around $1,500 I went with Dynaudio monitors at that pricepoint and later added a REL sub. Many years later I'm still pleased. | |
| RIP Jillian Johnson The Figs Czarivey, sorry if I put words in your mouth--I needed to go back and re-read all that had been said.My "user name" hasn't changed in all the years I've been on A-gon. It's not suddenly plural. Yes, it is a silly moniker, intentionally so. Lighten... | |
| RIP Jillian Johnson The Figs Czarivey, if you look at the long-term history of the FBI, it has harassed members of the left far more than the right. We get it, but we don't think buying more guns is the answer. And we're not silly or paranoid. You saying "I'm not, but you are... | |
| Dumb Head Phone Question Dsper, for a cheap thrill get one of these--you should be surprised, if not amazed, at the quality of sound. I use it with my Senn 600 and AKG 701 headsetshttp://www.amazon.com/Bravo-Audio-Ocean-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B00A2QKSVI/ref=sr_1_1?s=elect... | |
| Dumb Head Phone Question Sennheiser also makes microphones, lots of 'em, so they are not a dedicated headphone company. That said, I love my Senn 600 phones. Most folks favor the darker, warmer 650 model. I have not heard the 700's. I have a very inexpensive headphone amp... |
