| 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... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. +1 for Jean de Florette and its sequel, Manon of the Spring....breathtakingly beautiful and heart-rending Hear My Song...little known, funny, touching and wonderful music Chaplin's City Lights...maybe my all-time favorite Billy Wilder's The Fo... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @grislybutter "I am no expert." Me either...and I got one of my first kisses at a junior high school dance with the Carpenters' "Close to You" playing in the background. She will be forever be among my favorites just for that. | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @grislybutter like I said, I’m a fan. She deserves her place among pop history’s best loved. But she sang in a very narrow range of pitch, dynamics, style and color, things that count for me in the tabulation of the best voice category. | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. I'm a fan and still listen to some of their albums. I really admire and enjoy Karen's voice and, especially, Richard's arrangements and production. But, world class singer or drummer? If someone can point me to examples of her world-class drumm... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? I listen to a variety of channels on Sirius, mostly in the car. However, Sirius channels are compressed and eq’d to be bass-heavy, and FM generally sounds warmer and less like 1’s and 0’s, so I often listen to classical on FM. But I like the con... | |

| Black Sabbath and Jazz fans? Speaking of jazz cover bands, I’ve always liked Jazz is Dead. Grateful Dead music seems to lend itself to jazz interpretation. And this one’s become a real favorite of mine…Big Band of Brothers, excellent big band charts and performance of A... | |
| Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse @thecarpathian hit the nail on the head. Life is an adventure, I’d take his trip in a heartbeat, just for the fun of it. And I’d stop at every roadside Historical Marker and scenic spot, and hit some local bakery and coffee shops, too. Have a m... | |
| How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? I think understanding is different than appreciating. I can think of simple songs I understood first listen but have grown to appreciate over time. My appreciation can wax or wane as I grow, mature and change. I often need to understand before I... | |
| Any interest in a pair of old thiel’s CS1.2 Well, I'm not sure they can make polkas sound great (!) but I used to have a pair and loved them. Good luck! |
