I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You???

Squeaky hi-fidelity clean topic.

I heard leather squeaks occasionally when listening to my set up. My sofa must be ultra high resolving…. Some of my doors too. I later discovered they had nothing to do with music, and it was reassuring to know that everything was working just fine

Observation…. “I also had my wife’s heathcare worker listen”

Being a wife’s healthcare worker does not guarantee that person has good healthy ears.

This discussion is just getting sillier by the minote. 🎶

l was listening to an old concert recording and heard the musicians turning over their pages. I thought…”that’s not music, why is that there?” Then l thought, “yes it is music”

Vince Guaraldi

l have known of this artist for 55 years…. Frightening thinking that.  I have had the original soundtrack from the film “A Boy Named Charlie Brown” since l was a boy. He wrote this spin off “special” instrumental music in 1970. I noticed an old re-recording by his Jazz “Trio” playing Charlie Brown material was issued on a 2025 Record Store Day LP.
 

You could say he started playing for peanuts but garnered a nice little earner composing for the long running TV cartoon series.

”l don’t need to know why but that’s just the way it is”

”l can listening to vinyl through tube amplification l can listen all day or night”

Same emotional feeling with me. My vinyl just sounds more beguiling than anything digital l have. Not a conscious thought and judged just the way my ears vote for how many hours l listen to both. I would say a ratio of about 3 to 1

l naturally reach for the vinyl 75% (or more) without a thought which is against the Maths (math in USA) as l have fewer records than CD’s.
My CD collection overtook my records only during the 25 years when new vinyl was not an option to buy. I suppose for me, that says it all.

“Squeak King” 

Squeaky joints, (l was told by an ex premiership player) could be attributed to have been either a goal keeper or a defender. Injuries due to repetition and endurance were a byproduct of the job. For me and most others to be or not to be, it will be a sign of old age, or sitting down too long listening to music and not exercising enough.

Would tightening spring tension in bass drum peddles make it more difficult to operate? If so, it would probably lead to said drum players having squeaky knee/ankle joints later in life too.

With all this squeaky talk, what is more bewildering was not greasing the bass drum peddle so it would not squeak in the first place. Doh!

Head banging this problem was obviously a head bang too far.

I’m just having a laugh of course. 🤣
