Hi Cornfed; now that the C/W stuff is out of the way, I have less to confess too. Emotionally, I think I stopped maturing at about age 15, so sometimes I put either Buddy Holly's "Peggy Sue" or "Rave On" on infinite repeat and groove for about 1/2 an hour on each-- also do this with Three Dog Night's "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress". There are some other roots rockers such as carefully selected Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard tunes that I can also do this with. It's hard to find good recordings of early rock on CD though. I also have a high NRG rock recording by Rick Nelson that does it for me-- it's on a cheap label and is some of his later stuff. Cheers. Craig.
Guilty Pleasures
garfish’s recent thread on c/w music brought to mind the “guilty pleasures” admissions recently submitted by TAS writers and reviewers. a “guilty pleasure,” roughly speaking, is a musical selection one adores but plays only in secret, fearing its publication as an audiophile’s favorite might elicit ridicule or, at least, laughter. so, fellow a-goners, are you willing to confess to a couple of your guilty pleasures? I’ll start with two and add others if this thread gets going: (1) “not for kids only,” j. garcia & d. grisman; (2) ‘the little mermaid,” OST.
