The Violin sounds quite good but the piano certainly does not. Sort of strange and unfortunate to hear. |

4-Record Box. The other 3 sound quite fine but this one (happens to be of my favorite one of the concerto too) sounds just thin and un-detailed. Strange.

Well John I just hope you put the lid down first....

If you’re a fan of early progressive rock music made by bands like Camel, Focus, et. al. check out Caravan. Sweet, funny lyrics, great musicianship.

Caravan - “Blind Dog at St. Dunstan’s”

Hey @730waters, ever hear the band Trickster? They were a little more on the pop side of things but you might like ‘em. |
Tucky Buzzard! Far out man! Love it. Way ahead of their time and way underrated. |
Rock out man! Montrose next?

Crack The Sky - “Animal Notes”
——————————————-
@uberwaltz, thanks for the recommendation. Checking out Mostly Autumn now. |
Nuclear Apathy and Rangers at Midnight good places to start Bro. |
Nobody’s ever even heard of them.... except in Baltimore.... the best band you’ve never heard of and all that...
In the strange town of Portland Oregon there was this incredibly unique low budget am station, KVAN, that went way beyond AOR. They played almost everything (told us they did draw the line at Sabbath) over a signal so weak it was almost always hard to find on a transistor dial. First time I heard Smoke on the Water as a little kid was on KVAN (it was MIJ). They played some weird stuff that we didn’t get but mostly they played great music that no other station in town (or maybe the rest of the planet) dared play.
My brother claims he was the first to hear Safety in Numbers on KVAN and got me to buy the record (I had a summer job and he didn’t...) I remember it differently... but I digress. It became my favorite new Album. I went back to the first two from there and have since gone forward with them and Palumbo. I mean, the songs are original and cool, but the musicianship is just superb.
‘ think I posted recently about my listening experience with Greenhouse - being quite struck by the high production values on that record.

Crack the Sky - “Safety in Numbers” Side one sweet dream progressive rock album side nightcap. |

@16f4, very nice. I think Gilmore evokes emotion like almost nobody. Andrew Latimer does it for me too - maybe even more.

@reubent
@bdp24
Your are correct sir!

Great memories @730waters, and great to hear about them.
All my heroes are 70’s guitar players.

How has the fishing been brother? We went after the Kokanee in Paulina on Saturday but got skunked. Shameful...

Atlantic Reissue
crummy vinyl but such sweet music. Some boutique should repress this. |
@730Waters, Oh man I even remember the specific bike rides to and from the record stores on the very days I bought many of those precious early albums (That, like a dork, I’m still playing...).
Great set list today man, takes me back and makes me want to explore some you list I don’t know.
So, all kidding aside, do you think it really was Dick Wagner (and maybe Steve Hunter) playing the solos on “Get Your Wings”, and not Joe Perry (as advertised)? I always had my suspicions. |
Way fun. Sorry if I mis-communicated. The name of that band was Tahoniko. They were from Portland or/and Seattle.
How ‘bout some Cold Water?!?
A Foot in Cold Water - “ Second Foot in Cold Water” |
The Pineapple Thief - “Dissolution”
Pat Metheny - “Secret Story”
Pliny - “Handmade Cities”
Trower - “Bridge of Sighs”
—————————————
@730waters, Far Out! Got me digging out my Captain Beyond. Did you ever hear the Pacific NW band, Tahoniko? They covered some Dust and other better known stuff and had some originals. They put out a record with their “Night Thunder” on it. Oh man those were exciting musical times.

I’m out of town and suffering. My mother in law has Sonos speakers in her ceiling. |
Guess I need to check out Chris Rea @slaw |
