What was your first record?
jay, you made me laugh out loud!  
Being alone with your music
oregon...small world. I was recently looking at my high school yearbook, and noticed that Wolfman Jack DJ'd at my graduation dance. Miraleste High, LA. Just remembered the first album that made me realize parents were clueless about 'current' mus... 
Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage?
My friends laughed at me when, even in the 60's and 70's I'd put earplugs in whenever my band played, or when I'd go to a concert. Who's laughing now? I'm the only one that doesn't wear hearing aids. Hypersensivity has paid off.  
New finds In Record Collection
Bought 12 feet of albums from a garage sale (if you don't see any out-make sure to ask). Anyway. $75 for all of them. Took over a year to give them all a listen, but now I have a new appreciation for some 50s and early 60's music.Especially record... 
AI and the future of music
Someone needs to develop a mobile Faraday suit, so we can be 'invisible' to Big Bro. If anyone has Netflix, I suggest you watch Black Mirror Season 6, episode 1. It's part of the reason the writers and actors continue to be on strike. Plus you'l... 
AI and the future of music
I don't think this has been addressed yet. As a professional artist, the age old question, "Where do you get your ideas from" is always asked of me. Well, in my case it's a matter of closing off the floodgate of ideas. It's always been constant. ... 
AI and the future of music
@rettrussell and ibmjunkman Thanks for the 'Beatles' songs. So unexpected and welcome.      
AI and the future of music
I am a retired professional illustrator. I've painted hundreds of jobs for Disney, Mattel, Dreamworks, Marvel, Universal, etc. Just a few months ago I was shown images created by an AI program called Stable Diffusion. Some of the images are fanta... 
What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan?
To answer the OP's question...when I found myself purchasing a couple of original 35mm slides of them in their heyday. What the hell do I need those for? They do look pretty good though, once I fixed them up in Photoshop. I guess I just wanted som...

Give 'Ambrosia' another listen
Wow, I feel blessed that I kept the albums all these years. I just made a 'Best of Cd, and found I had to fill two 80 minute CD's just to get all their best songs included. Worth the big bucks you guys. Try record shops, there's plenty of them her... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Ambrosia.  It's been years since I put them on, and I'm blown away. There are a couple of their albums that rival Sgt Pepper in creativity. Very under rated band IMO.  The albums, 'Somewhere I've never traveled' and their self titled one are my fa... 
Tune of the Day
Cowboy Star by Ambrosia. A couple of their albums nearly match Sgt. Pepper IMHO.  
Anyone else feel like they are “transported” INTO the music
It started for me when I added a subwoofer array (4 subs). I got lucky with my room design as well. There's a 'cut out' area (meant for a large TV- 30" deep), that helps the sound stage go 'back' further than it normally would.   It sometimes sh... 
What was the craziest location that you made an audio purchase from?
Bought 7K worth of nice equipment at a Neighborhood garage sale...for $180 cash. Lady had just left her husband and was getting back at him. I paid her, left them there for a while, and checked out other houses. By the time I got back, there were...
