| Foil damping tape as a tonearm tube wrap? Michael Percy (Audio) sells an EAR product named TAD Damping Foil. It's a composite damping sheet comprised of a viscoelastic pressure sensitive adhesive constrained by an aluminum foil layer, 0.005" thick. It's very light and flexible, perfect fo... | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale To hear another really great ensemble, there's a video viewable on You Tube of Joan Osborne and her road band in a radio station performing Slim Harpo's "Shake Your Hips", and they (and she) are smokin'! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @uberwaltz, give Dylan's Planet Waves a try. It's from '74, recorded live in the studio with The Band backing him. MoFi put it our recently on SACD and LP, and the sound is very direct, live in the room. Very little artificial processing (electron... | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale Oh man vinylvision1, Little Village! Not only did I not miss their sole album (I have it on LP and CD, along with a couple of bootlegs of shows), I was fortunate enough to see and hear them live, on a soundstage in Burbank to an industry-only audi... | |
| The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century I was going to nominate Modest Mussorgsky’s "Pictures At An Exhibition", but during a little research learned that though the work became very popular and often performed after orchestrations were written for it in the early 1900’s, most famously ... | |
| Deleted Threads by Admin?? Ha, I’ve never been described as a conservative before; my Libertarian friends disagree! I’ve always thought the left/right, conservative/liberal (oops, I mean progressive) construct is way too simplistic. | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale I did not know that onhwy61, good to hear. I have a collection of The 5 Royales, I’ll have to give it a fresh listen. Another influence on all the Tele players is Paul Burlinson of The Rock ’n’ Roll Trio (Johnny and Dorsey Burnette, along with Pau... | |
| Deleted Threads by Admin?? @oregonpapa, FDR introduced many of the social programs now considered government-provided subsistence assistance, including Social Security (which is in fact no such thing). When the G.I.’s like my Pa came home from WWII, G.I. home loans were mad... | |

| New in 2018 Damn, new ones by Richard Thompson, John Hiatt, Lucinda, Ry Cooder, and Gillian Welch? I need to sell some blood. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Oops, reading back a few pages I saw that tostadosunidos had already quoted the Dylan line I did above, for which I had shortly thereafter complimented him. The old gray matter ain’t what it useta be.Iris Dement: "God may forgive you, but I won’t ... | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale whart, I realize different people want different things from their musicians, even from music itself. That’s fine with me, I am just making the case for my taste. I have come to realize people generally judge musicianship more as an athletic event... | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale @onhwy61, I understand what you’re saying. But it’s not simply a matter of taste, it’s playing what is required to achieve a desired effect. A couple of examples: A lot of people know the song "Shakin’ All Over" from The Who’s version on the Live ... | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale I was at the Fillmore and Winterland Cream shows along with Jorma (whose acoustic guitar playing is not bad, unlike his dreadfully bad playing on electric in The Airplane), and at the time loved them. I also saw The Who at The Carousel Ballroom pe... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoesYou'd know what a drag it is to see you". |
