I just upgraded all my IC's to RSA Poiema! what a sweet, dynamic IC with the best bass Ive yet heard from the Aries2/JMW10/ ZYX FS |
SlipknotI -- I really like "Songs my Mother Taught me" by Arturo Delmoni(1986). When I first found this copy used a few years back..I chuckeled to myself and thought...Okay, what the heck! $2.00 is no big loss.... I didn't know Id be playing it so often and how wondeful this guy plays. He was a child prodigy born in NYC and entered Julliard as a Naumberg Scholar as you probably know. What a delightful recording and Violin playing genius exhibited here, with this recording dedicated to his Mother and father. |
Today I ordered both Arthur Williams/Jesse Hoggard and Leroy Jodie Pierson's APO Direct to Disc LP's from Acoustic Sounds. Thanks for the link Albertporter!
Tonight features several different artists starting with:
Ben Folds: Rockin' the Suberbs --3 sided Lp set on Epicrecords.2001
Larry Carlton's famous Alone/ But Never Alone--MCA 1986

and:
David Frishberg- Cant take you nowhere.(Fantasy Records 1987)
Live Direct to Digital recording from Frishberg at the Great American Music Hall.SF, CA.
Frishberg is more of a Performer than true singer. His Piano and vocals go together very well in a story telling sort of way. This LP features songs by Duke Ellington, Count Bassie, Zoot Sims and his interpretations of songs by his hero...Frank Loesser! Funny Lyrics and entertaining piano/ vocals. |
Joe- Sorry to hear of this. I feel your pain here. The last Atlanta record show I attended, there was an increasing number of vendors selling CD only at their tables. Its getting harder to find real bargains in the LP's too. Hang in there. |
Sprawled out on the sofa like a hot open turkey sandwich...I am spinning Getz/Gilberto featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim..Verve V68545.Original 1963 LP in great condition..What a sound! |
Q- love Croce! Timeless songs that are beautiful and bring back nice memories indeed.
Ray- Conrgatulations! welcome to the world of ZYX! From the entry level models to the UNIverse..they are quite a great sounding a line of transducers!..Enjoy! |
