| Two new books on great musicians. Pearls before swine. | |
| Two new books on great musicians. There is a new book on Levon and The Band (published in 2021 by Bearsville), entitled Levon's Man: Woodstock, The Death Of Richard Manuel, And My Decade Managing The Band. Joe Forno Jr. is the author, and the book is available through Amazon. I ju... | |
| Bonham’s Squeaky Drum Pedal Bonham’s squeaky pedal has been talked about by drummers since the early-70’s. That Ludwig Speed King pedal is referred to as the Squeak King amongst players ;-) . In the mid-to-late-70’s many drummers switched to the Camco pedal, now known as the... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent and @tomic601: Gatton is a guitarist’s guitarist, a guy other masters of the instrument listen to. But he’s not just a virtuoso, a "’flash" player; he’s also very musical. I first heard him when he was working with Robert Gordon, playing ... | |
| Genre: Sacred or Early World Music, what's your go to? A lot of Baroque can also be considered "sacred", being as church-based as it is (J.S. Bach's day job was as a church organist, and a lot of his compositions were written to be performed on Sundays). Baroque is my "go-to" Classical music. | |
| Wilco, A.Escovedo, Lucinda - ACL Hall of Fame Induction Concert + Terry Allen, Roseanne I saw Alejandro when he was in Rank & File (with the Kinman brothers, formerly of Punk band The Dils). Rank & File were part of the Cowpunk movement of the early/mid-1980's. Hard to believe, but he just turned 71! | |
| Transmission line speakers! @roxy54: Are you thinking of the FMI (Fulton Musical Industries) Model J loudspeaker? It was comprised of three separate boxes: on the bottom a transmisionline-loaded woofer enclosure, in the middle a small sealed enclosure with an 8" woofer and d... | |
| Subwoofer question Right @oldhvymec, Danny Richie of GR Research always uses four subs, both at hi-fi shows and in the system at his place. A pair of ob's somewhere in the front of the room, and a pair of sealed subs (the F12G) in the back. His room was voted Best-B... | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. And then there's the term "crackers". In The Last Waltz, Band pianist/singer/songwriter Richard Manuel recounts how that was one of the names they were considering to replace their old one---The Hawks---as their debut album was about to be release... | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. A lot of my components were made in England. Limey-Fi? ;-) | |
| Subwoofer question @russ69: As a fellow owner (former in my case) of the RS-1b loudspeaker, let me recommend you try to hear one the Rythmik servo-feedback subs, which replaced the 1b woofer towers in my system. | |

| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Healing Tide by The War & Treaty. W & T is the duo of singers Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter. The album was produced by the great Buddy Miller, Americana music’s MVP. Joining the duo on "Here Is Where The Loving Is At" are the subli... | |
| 2022 is almost here. Why are you here? For the music threads. Though an audiophile site, the music threads make wading through the rest worth it. The participants are much more hip than are the guys who hang around hi-fi shops. To paraphrase an old expression, you are what you listen t... |
