Who R U?

The CD made by Buddy and Junior in France is called 'Alone and Acoustic'. From Alligator records , box 60234, chicago IL 60660. One of my all time favorite albums. You can also buy it at Buddy's bar 'Buddy Guys Legends' in downtown Chicago, 748 S Wabash. Who am I ? I'm a single 33 y/old independent computer consultant. I specialize in middleware and enterprise interface systems. I was a traveling nomad for about six years which allowed me to experience live music in cities all over the United States. I recently hung up the laptop, bought a house, and took a day job working as a systems architect for a local telephone company (I still consult on the side (hint hint). My hobbies are downhill skiing( Crested Butte & Jackson Hole Rule!), bicycle riding, mountain climbing, and classical guitar. It is such a great thing to be able to HAVE a stereo. I actually knew a consultant who would ship his stereo to whatever job he was working at. I've enjoyed reading all of your posts. Even Carl_eber's. Cheers to all.

I just figured out something cool. The adcom gfp-750 has a processor input. This is just a switched RCA-RCA passthru. I run the variable outputs of my XA7 CD player into it. This gives me the ability to use the XA7's CD remote for volume and track selection. Very nice.

I have that CD, and I think it's cool too! You know what it is ? Days of the New is a previously unsuheavy metal band that went acoustic. Heavy metal is characterized by power chords played over minor keys. That's why the music has that way-cool yet slightly disturbing sound to it. Alice in Chains is another band that does this. If you like DOTN, you will probably like AIC's acoustic album 'SAP'. AIC's MTV Unplugged is good too.

Another heavy metal great is the Metallica Black album. (you probably own it) Something kind of funny is that Nothing Else Matters is actually a rework of a nylon-string classical guitar song called 'Romancia'. I remember when I was learning it, I stopped: "Haven't I heard this somewhere ?".
