Tune of the Day
@slaw.  As is often the case, I get to thinking I know a lot about music, and then I read some of your recommendations and, not only haven’t I heard the tune, I haven’t heard of the artist.   @jfrost27 good call, that’s a great album.  One of th...

Thiel Owners
@jafant.  thanks for the response (@unsound, too).  Currently, I am using bi-wired Anti Cables for the Treos.  Sources at this moment are an Ayre CX5eMP and a Lumin D2.  Listening habits include a lot of classical, jazz, rock (though not much meta... 
Thiel Owners
I have an opportunity to score some Thiel 2 2's, which would replace my Vandersteen Treo CT's.  I like the Treos, but I have really fond memories of Thiel 2 2's that I had years ago.  They would be paired with an Ayre AX 20 integrated.  I am not o...

Upcoming Concerts?!

The best opening act you've ever seen & heard?
Wow, wow, wow, so many shows here I would love to have seen!  Thanks for the memories, folks.  Among my favorites: My first large concert on a visit to Phoenix, 1970, Blues Image, whom I’d never heard of, knocked my stuffing out, I never knew the... 
Movie/film suggestions.
While you're completing your tour of the Coens' oeuvre, please watch Barton Fink and then write me and tell me what the Hell that was about!  Interesting how I can so enjoy a movie that I have no understanding of at all (like Lynch's Mulholland Dr... 
Movie/film suggestions.
@bdp24  I admit that part of my affection for The Fortune Cookie is because I practiced law for 40 years and the TFC is a perfect send-up of personal injury lawsuits.  And great in other ways, too.   Probably my career also heightens my appreciat...
