Fairport Convention - What We Did on Our Holidays
Whats playing on your system today?
Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.
I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....
Then I pulled out "Gamma".
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....
Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

How y’all been?! Check these boys out. Riverdogs, California - begin with track three here, and then let it play. https://youtu.be/UM6xBnfDKDg N |
Do we have any Joann Shaw Taylor fans? The blues oozes out of her. Toured with Bonamossa and Glenn Hughes in the past. She plays a mean guitar. She is in the US and played in Louisville, Ky last Friday. She is going to performing at the Miami Valley Gaming Cassino Saturday evening. The Cassino is located near Lebanon, OH. FREE ADMISSION and is scheduled to begin at 9:00 pm. on the main stage. Here White Sugar disc is very good. "Blackest Day" and "Heavy Heart" (here) https://youtu.be/rqHlxMli-OM https://youtu.be/AwHwpGl-xKY N |
I just bought a new integrated tube amp, Cayin A88T, so out come the set of music to see what it can do: 1. Cassandra Wilson, Blue Light Til Dawn (CD) (her voice better be right, and strong bass) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Light_%27til_Dawn 2. Guitar Trio, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin & Paco de Lucía (LP and CD) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X7V0yAofeU 3 different types of strings and types of guitars to hear and hear if the channel balance is right by awesome imaging of the 3 (or not). This really helps you set up your system, especially if you have tone controls involved, and, the wonderful McIntosh mode control allowing stereo reverse, mono, left to ... is always a great help. 3. Oscar Peterson, The Way I Really Play (SACD) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_I_Really_Play 4. Blue Nile, Walk Across the Rooftops (Original Linn's recording to demo superior LP sound) https://www.discogs.com/artist/22485-The-Blue-Nile 5. Sade, Soldier of Love (CD) https://www.google.com/search?q=sade+soldier+of+love&oq=sade%2C+soldier&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.7716j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Happily, the amp passed all tests. It is switchable, Triode, or Ultralinear. So far I prefer Ultralinear, however, I expect a few recordings might benefit from Triode, time will tell. It's not the power difference, 22/45 wpc, my speakers are incredibly efficient. Haven't gotten there yet, perhaps today 6. Barbra Streisand/Donna Summers duet, Enough is Enough, sort the two voices! (CD) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwiR88o_zOA 7. Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5IaMdhVBFo and, always the final test 8. Jeff Wayne, War of the Worlds, (Original Double LP)(Richard Burton's voice must be right) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Wayne%27s_Musical_Version_of_The_War_of_the_Worlds#Jeff_Wayne's_The_War_of_the_Worlds:_The_Musical_Drama if I remember right, it was a 48 track production. |
LP fans might find this interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linn_Records I think I requested it before it was released, an offer by Linn to promote their new Linn Records, and Linn sent me this for free. |
@reubent Northern soul is a craze started in about the 50s . Events were staged all over the North West of England and is still strong today. Look up Wigan cassino / in Lancashire. Lots of fottage on YouTube it was an all nighter from 12 midnight until 8am. I used to go as a teenager. Let me know what you think. Cheers. |
