| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? I just remembered "Whiskey Train" by Procol Harum. | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? I’ve known and played with a coupla guys who drank themselves to death. In 2001 I did an album (Moontan) with Evan Johns, recorded in Atlanta, Georgia. We (his band on the album) checked into the hotel a day after Evan had arrived, and the next... | |
| If you haven't yet discovered Rosie Flores..... @dekay: The last time I saw Rosie live was in 2015, at Pappy And Harriets in Pioneertown, the infamous club associated with Gram Parsons, located in the foothills just north of the I-10 freeway that connects Palm Springs/Palm Desert and Los Ang... | |
| Phil Lesh I knew one really good guitar player whose instructions to new bass players in his band was "Nothing above the 5th fret." I understand that attitude, but Leland Sklar plays above the 5th fret a lot, and still makes it very musical. My favorit... | |
| If you haven't yet discovered Rosie Flores..... Steve, are you speaking of Mary’s Drag Queens In Limousines album? I just picked it up a coupla days ago, haven’t cracked the shrink wrap yet. Also just in, Iris DeMent's sophomore album My Life on LP (Yep Roc Records, maroon vinyl). | |
| If you haven't yet discovered Rosie Flores..... @slaw: I don’t remember that Steve, but like Rosie (see the below video) my memory has holes in it. I remember faces, but have a Hell of a time with names. Here is part 2 of Otis’ interview with Rosie, in which she talks about The Palomino (th... | |
| If you haven't yet discovered Rosie Flores..... @tomcy6: Your comment raises a topic that has crossed my mind over the years. Artists or bands who remain favorites of a cult level audience---not ever becoming huge stars, in many cases have longer, more productive careers than do more "succes... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings Consumers are at the mercy of record producers and engineers. As @onhwy61 and @rick_n stated, there are a number of different recording philosophies and techniques, each with it's own resulting sound characteristics. If you ever come upon any ... | |

| "New" model VPI? @chadsort: And it doesn't have any form of isolation, unlike their original HW-19 with it's spring suspension. | |
| What is your top sexy song? Good one @tomcarr, written by Randy Newman. His recording of the song may be found on his Sail Away album. | |
| Phil Lesh I've known some musicians who characterize that kind of playing as lead bass. One of the best bassists I ever played with loved Phil, Jack Bruce and Casady, and Rick Danko. The two "best" electric bassists I’ve heard live were John Entwislle... | |
| In the sand box Speaking of sand boxes and vibrations: Have ya’ll heard the story about Brian Wilson and his sandbox? Sometime in 1966 Brian had the idea of having the grand piano in the living room of his Bel Air mansion installed within a sandbox, so that h... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @richardbrand: While it appears the tweeter of the DIPTYQUE could be a little closer to the midrange/bass driver next to it, the distance between the two is not too bad. The crossover point is 1600Hz, the wavelength of which is 21.45 centimeter... | |
| Tune of the Day "Get Out Of Denver" by Dave Edmunds. IMO a vastly better version than the original by the song’s writer, Bob Seger. https://youtu.be/vhbV2yZidrE?si=xrfyw532RsYSyri1 And here is Dave’s version of John Fogerty’s song "Almost Saturday Nigh... |
