| Oldies that stick in your head... It's funny how Del Shannon's music is considered Oldies, but that of The Beatles isn't. They're both from the 1960's. Actually, Del was still recording into the early-1990's, with Jeff Lynne producing. I grew up buying 7" 45 RPM singles in the... | |
| Music with Titles that get you to think Garth Hudson’s "The Genetic Method". That’s what he named his long organ prelude to "Chest Fever" on The Band’s Rock Of Ages live album. Maybe not genius, but about as close as you can get to it in Rock ’n’ Roll. And then there is Loudon Wainw... | |
| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. @tomic601: Jim, Amy joined Levon for the tour he did when he was still recovering from throat surgery, therefor unable to sing. I got to hear her singing on the stage at The House Of Blues on Sunset Blvd. sometime in the first decade of this ce... | |

| Kris Kristofferson That perspective being of looking in the mirror. | |
| Kris Kristofferson @slaw: Me too Steve, as well as a few of his with Rita, and her solo. I don't know why I didn't get into them back in the 70's, but better late than never. I became acquainted with Billy Swan when we both lived in Sherman Oaks, CA. He served a... | |
| Kris Kristofferson All right, here’s another with the same guitarist as in the above video---Jedd Hughes, wherein he talks about an album in my all-time Top 10, The Houston Kid by Rodney Crowell. He also speaks about Emmylou, as well as Buddy Miller, Albert Lee, ... | |
| Open baffle speakers Danny Richie of GR Research designs and sells both OB and sealed box loudspeakers and subs (in kit form). He has used the same drivers in both applications, and makes no bones about preferring the sound the drivers make when used open baffle. T... | |
| Kris Kristofferson I’ll do that Matthew. Speaking of YouTube, singer/songwriter Otis Gibbs regularly posts videos of his interviews with (mostly) musicians, many of them Country. Here’s one of my favorites: https://youtu.be/_7PT_f5G5z8?si=eZSr5nnq6bSDvZfG... | |
| Dodd Audio Preamp Excellent @jim2! By the way people, Danny’s system includes a pair of the GR Research/Rythmik Audio Servo-Feedback OB/Dipole Subs (the 3 woofer version). I regularly see guys stating as fact that OB subs aren’t capable of producing deep bass. ... | |
| Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers? @cleeds: While I heard the IRS once (Mike Kay of Lyric Audio brought his pair to the Stereophile Show in L.A. one year), the highest-level model I have lived with was the RS-1b (my first Infinity’s were the company’s entry-level speaker---the M... | |
| Kris Kristofferson Matthew: Larry McNeely! I have an album of his, Live At McCabe’s (Takoma Records), the well known acoustic instrument shop on Pico Blvd. in Santa Monica (a favorite haunt of Ry Cooder). There is a concert venue in the back of the store; I saw V... | |
| Kris Kristofferson @immatthew: Yeah, the lines separating Country & Western, Hillbilly, Bluegrass, Folk, Singer/Songwriter, etc. are not clear cut. And it was---imo---the emergence of Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, etc. that led "mainstream/commercial" Country m... | |
| Dodd Audio Preamp Give a call to Danny Richie at GR Research. Gary and Danny were close friends, and Danny has a number of Dodd amps and pre-amps, which he used in his system at hi-fi shows, and still does in his own personal system. |
