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?

mapman, Big Uriah Heep fan! 

 I received a set of loaner Clear Day Double Shotgun's and two wire Jumpers from Paul yesterday. I have about 10 hours of listening on them now. I had two full runs of Audioquest Gibralter w/dbs as a true biwire set up. 
So far the Clear Day'are not disappointing! I wanted three wire jumpers, but the twin lead was all he had available for loan. The first thing I noticed on The Eagles Hell Freezes Over CD is the audience sounds more lifelike than with the AQ. Next, the hi-hat was crisper and the snare drum is a bit hotter. Nice. Joe Walsh and Timothy B Schmit's silibant's are right on point.
On Ann Bisson, I live in the Treetops, her vocals are amazing with the dead quiet balanced Ayre CX7emp, Classe' CP-60 with the outboard power supply and the Dual mono Levinson.
On Incubus, Morning View,,,,this CD has bass in spades! Very nimble, fast very tight with the Totem Hawks with their amazing long throw woofer. Better control and weight over the AQ Gibralter. No bloat or overhang. The disc also has a DJ that provides tons of additional sound effects. They are all heard through the Clear Day Cables. Hand claps sound more natural also. 
So far the Clear Day Cables appear to perform very well, at least in my system, room etc.

Manfred Mann......

I'm putting on :"Watch" right now!

My all time favorite is "The Roaring Silence"

further comments are possible...
Ray Davies See My Friends. My teenage daughter actually sits and listens with me in the family room while doing her thing. She soaks it all in quietly and asks me about music playing she does not know of all genres.  Album art and track info displays on big screen tv as we listen.   I usually put my music server on random track play so anything can come up anytime.  She knows a lot about music and likes the 80sand Michael Jackson in particular best.  Plays violin in her school orchestra as well.  It's nice to be able to expose kids to good sound and music of al kinds 

Los Lobos Do the Murray playing now.  



In fact... the song of the day...

"Natural Thing" from John Fogerty's "Revival".

Cheers!!
Music from great Hitchcock movie thrillers.  Found in local public library. 

George Lynch, Sacred groove.....one of my guitar hero's. 
George is fantastic on this one. Also included are vocals from Mathew and Gunner Nelson and one track featuring the great Glenn Hughes. I like the last track best.
"Tierra Del Fuego".

Joe Walsh "The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get".

It's been a while.... this lp sounds fantastic!
The other night I pulled out a 1960 recording of Betty Carter.   She just killed it.  Wow.  I ripped a track to mp3.  Take a listen for yourself to her rendition of "What a Little Moonlight Can Do".  
Be sure to hang onto your seat.

astro58go,

Yep! Got the sunburn to prove it. We didn’t play "moving in stereo". However, later we did listen to pre 80’s The Cars, S/T CD, indoors on my main system . Rory is one of my favorite guitarist. I have not heard the title you referd to above. But I have a lot of other Rory titles. I like all types, genres of music. And on occasion, I’ll have a "momentary laps of reason" and go rogue on some 80’s or big hair 80’s.

Out by the pool again now. Currently playing, Steely Dan, Countdown to ecstasy.

Nutty,

An Eighties Pool Party? I only hope you blasted out The Cars "Moving In Stereo"?
By the way, (I've got in my cart), Rory Gallagher "Notes From San Fransisco" on MOV (lp) as an order pending.

Any of you have experience with this lp? Sonics? Thanks.
If you crave guitars, try almost anything from the Outlaws. On of my longtime favorites!
Carles Benavent - Quartet  
Great "bass" recording recommended by Victor Wooten.  
Outstanding musicianship and sonics.
