| Great Plains Audio Fest I would be there but this is in conflict with the Stereophile show in NYC. I wonder why they did not think of that?Otherwise, I would gladly drive there and provide photo coverage for Audiogon. | |
| Anyone know anything about Eleanor McEvoy? I don't remember Eleanor McEvoy, but I clearly remember Eleanor Rigby.For some reason cannot see her image in my mind. Maybe because she's wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door? I always wondered who it was for. | |
| What stole your attention from HiFi? PussyPussyPussy Galore that is, began watching all those old James Bond movies again. | |

| Best Song or AlbumTitles? Almost forgot the classic from Two Nice Girls."Spent my Last $10.00 on birth control (and beer)".(The next line in the song is "I was better off when I was sober and queer." | |
| Best Song or AlbumTitles? From the obscure album by Human Fly,"Who Throwed Lye on my Dog ?" | |
| Blu-Ray and HD DVD This is a format I have been watching with great interest. This is a step in the right direction, if for no other reason than the ability to supply HD DVD to the masses. My Sony player was not expensive, so hopefully I won't get killed when I go t... | |
