| Favorite Tribute Albums? I bought Standing In The Doorway---Christie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan a coupla days ago, but haven't listened to it yet. I didn't particularly like Joan Osborne's Songs Of Bob Dylan album, but I do like Joan Baez's Any Day Now, a 2-LP set of Dylan ... | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? I think all of mine have already been mentioned. Willie Nelson’s latest album is sort of a tribute album, in that all the songs on it were written by Rodney Crowell. If you haven’t heard Rodney’s The Houston Kid album, rectify that oversight! I... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? Yes, rpeluso. | |
| Jill Sobule has passed away in house fire Jill did as many singer/songwriters are doing: touring without a band. I really miss the accompaniment musicians provide them, but it’s expensive. Increasing the ticket price will pay for them, but that might result in fewer tickets sold. Touri... | |
| Jill Sobule has passed away in house fire I just talked to her. She had already heard about it. | |
| Jill Sobule has passed away in house fire OMG, what a tragedy. I saw Jill live last in the mid-2000's, at a show at Club Largo in Los Angeles. My long-time girl friend (25 years!) was the personal assistant of the lawyer who represented her, and when Jill saw us at a table she tried to... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @maghister: No truer words were ever spoken!!! | |
| Vinyl Me Please...well, not anymore By the way, you youngins’: In the early 1960’s a few of the major record labels had record clubs. I joined the Columbia Records club when I was 12 years old, and picked Johnny Horton’s Greatest Hits as my first 1 cent (!) album. | |
| Vinyl Me Please...well, not anymore @slaw: What was the defect in your first copy of Joshua Loves Ruth? Mine was fine. | |

| ??? What Is Your Favorite Speaker Finish ??? My favorite loudspeaker finish is the same as my favorite automobile finish: hot rod black, the color 1950's hot road enthusiasts (including guitarists Jeff Beck and Danny Gatton) use on their rods. I painted the enclosures I made for my Rythmi... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? If he, she, or they (a band) are "recording artists", I respect them all (even if I don't particularly care for the music they make). It is the "non-artists" I have a problem with. And sad to say, it is the latter category that dominates the mu... | |
| Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest? In 2016 I moved north from SoCal (Southern California for you in the rest of the U.S.A.), where there are probably more audiophiles (and hi-fi shops) than in the entire Northwest. As you travel north from San Francisco on Interstate 5, you pass... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Me as well @immatthewj and @slaw. I also saw him recently in Angel Heart (with De Niro). | |
| Removing silicone damping fluid "Mineral spirits" is also mentioned in the owners pamphlet for the Townshend Audio Rock turntable (which employs silicon damping fluid in a trough for the arm/pickup) as the fluid to use for cleanup in case of spillage. Mineral spirits is a spe... |
