| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale LIttle Feat and The Band shared a mutual admiration for each other. When Levon Helm came through Los Angeles in 2000 and played at The House Of Blues, Little Feat drummer Richie Hayward joined him on stage. Levon was recovering from throat surgery... | |
| 50 years on---the brilliance of The Band and their astounding debut album. I could talk for hours about The Band, and have. Levon Helm is a musical giant in my book, and I’m not alone in that sentiment. Here’s part of his great story:Levon grew up in Helena, Arkansas, the same town in which blues harmonica-great Sonny Bo... | |
| 50 years on---the brilliance of The Band and their astounding debut album. @michaellent, I too have cried when listening to "The Weight". I applaud your courage in admitting to crying in response to music, especially to a sausage-fest audience such as AudiogoN ;-). No offence, Elizabeth. Some other songs that bring me to... | |
| Send Inlets to be Cryoed What's an "inlet"? I feel dumb. | |
| What is the epic song of a group? I now realize many of us, certainly I, didn't take the "epic" qualifier seriously enough in our nominations. | |
| Stillpoints - snake oil? Roger Modjeski doesn't provide ANY power cord with his Music Reference RM-200 power amp, saying he figures everyone has an unused computer cord in a drawer, or will be using an aftermarket cord anyway. | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? I haven't done the math, but I don't believe there are enough hours in an average persons life to listen to a million albums. And that's if you started at birth! But then, some people "collect" with no intention of listening. | |
| LP Anti Static Brush The new, revise Audioquest brush is claimed to have conductive fibers which transmit static into the users hand, down his body to ground. I don’t have one, still using my ancient Hunt and Decca brushes. | |
| Major artists that don't have an epic song Frank Zappa. But then he wasn't a songwriter. Or a singer. Or much of anything, except full of himself. So smug! | |
| What is the epic song of a group? Al, speaking for myself, that’s because very few groups have a member capable of writing what I consider a song, let alone an epic one ;-). By the way, though I don't care for Joni (to put it mildly), I agree with you about Judy’s version of "Both... | |
| What is the epic song of a group? The Beach Boys: "God Only Knows", written by Brian Wilson.Jimmy Ruffin: "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted", written by William Weatherspoon, Paul Riser, and James Dean.The Band: "The Weight", written by J.R. Robertson.The above are by far the mo... | |
| 50 years on---the brilliance of The Band and their astounding debut album. And Richard, richopp! He was the first of the three to pass away, at his own hand (suicide by hanging). A truly great, great singer (Eric Clapton is in awe of his voice), and very interesting drummer. Few know it, but he plays drums on about half ... | |
| Just wanted to introduce myself. Ryan, being as into Brian as you are, you may have met the members of his band, some of whom were in a Pop group named The Wondermints. Before they joined Brian they had a member named Brian Kassan, who played bass in the group. Kassan felt they w... | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? @downunder, good point about the compartments in the Kallax being too wide, one reason I prefer the EKET. Each compartment in the EKET is 12-3/4" wide, still too much but acceptable. Owners of the Kallax have solved the problem of their excessive ... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker Great post desktopguy. I was lucky in having a good hi-fi retailer in my area (Los Angeles) who was an enthusiastic Music Reference dealer. He also sold Jadis, VTL, and other much higher-priced amplifiers, for those who were as interested in bragg... |
