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... | |

Tune of the Day Loggins & Messina, "Golden Ribbons" Tom Waits, "The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)" Jerry Jeff Walker, "Song for the Life" (Tony Rice's version is good, too). | |
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?! @mofimadness Those are wonderful memories. You and I probably passed each other at one or more of those concerts. If I ever spilled a beer in your lap, I apologize! | |
Best Audiophile Album in terms of Dynamic Range and Mastering Quality? Well, these don't exactly make the last decade cutoff, but I can't imagine a list that didn't include these: Mighty Sam McClain Give it Up to Love Holly Cole Don't Smoke in Bed Chris Jones Roadhouses and Automobiles | |
Upcoming Concerts?! @mofimadness. Spot on about the magic of Red Rocks. So many wonderful memories of shows there, including a near-legendary night with Chuck Mangione playing under a lunar eclipse. I am in the Colorado Symphony Chorus and so I’ve had the good for... | |

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... | |
