| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Ha, cool Fargo reference there @tostadosunidos ;-) . @dentdog may have been thinking was that Les Paul invented the electric guitar, but even that assertion would be incorrect. What Les DID invent was the multi-track tape recorder. | |
| Do open baffle designs matter? Check out the AudioCircle Forum for GR Research. GRR owner Danny Richie specializes in OB speaker design, and has written much on the subject. Also check out the website of Linkwitz Labs. Famed x/o designer Siegfried Linkwitz offered (RIP, but I b... | |
| Ribbon midrange pros and cons None of you have heard of the long-discontinued Apogee full range ribbon loudspeakers?! Three way, all three drivers (bass, midrange, tweeter) being true, pure ribbons. They remain the all-time favorite speakers of some. Very hard to drive---their... | |
| Fate? Karma? Purgatory? Help me put a good spin on this. Robbie Robertson has repeated this story Levon Helm recounted in his autobiography, the Robertson telling of the story viewable on You Tube: In the Summer of ’65, The Hawks had a week off (they were a working band, playing on the circuit in the So... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Small world, @uberwaltz; it is in Vancouver that I live! Give me a buzz, we’ll meet for some Becks. Maybe folkfreak will have us over to hear his system (VTL, Magico) in Northwest Portland.There are two drummers I knew in L.A. who had already move... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Becks in bottles, @uberwaltz. It’ll do ’til I can find here in the Portland area my favorite, Grolsch. At the taverns I’ve been sampling the local IPA’s, which are too "wheaty" for me, and a little astringent. | |
| Fate? Karma? Purgatory? Help me put a good spin on this. Yeah @tomic601, Albert’s hands and fingers were huge, and he was very strong. I’ve never seen anyone bend strings like that (the high E string bent all the way to the top of the fretboard of his Flying V!), and he did it in a real relaxed, "no hur... | |
| Rodney Crowell @rpeluso, you mean the "I want to put the c*nt back into country" comment? Yup, trash-mouth Carlene, the home wrecker (she didn't shy away from stealing other women's husbands). Howie couldn't resist her seductive charms, nor could Nick. Nor the a... | |
| Who needs a tuner? I still love how a Mac tuner looks with the room lights dimmed. | |
| Klipsch Heresy II Special Ed VS. Vandersteen 2c @jsautter, too subtle a joke? I admit it, I’m somewhat of a dirty old man. | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? It's so hard to tell if a clear vinyl LP needs to be dusted! | |
| Klipsch Heresy II Special Ed VS. Vandersteen 2c Well, the Klipsch will certainly "put out" more with the same amount of effort (power) put in. ;-) | |
| Disco...yep, I'm going there @reubent, '77 WAS a great year musically. So much was happening, local music scenes exploding all over the country. The Progressive and "Singer-Songwriter" era was over! I put S-S in quotes because a lot of the new music was still being written an... | |
| Death of Rock 'n' Roll @sleepwalker65, woah nelly! It is not I who consider Rock ’n’ Roll profane (even if it is, I STILL love it. Well, some of it, anyway), for gosh sakes. That term was used to make a point---that Little Richard, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, C... | |
| Death of Rock 'n' Roll Two of our greatest singers---Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin---came from the Gospel world, and were denounced by the flock for their heresy---performing secular music.Prior to modern times (sometime in the 19th Century, I believe), Classical music-... |
