Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people.

Joey DeFrancesco
Joey also did an album with Danny Gatton entitled Relentless. For those who have yet to hear either of them, kill two birds with one stone! Released on CD in 1994 by Big Mo Records.  
Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...
@frankmc195: Julianna Raye! I do believe you are the only other person I have ever heard mention her name. Her two albums are faves of mine, and are quite different from one another. Of the two I like the first---Something Peculiar, produced by Je... 
45 RPM Audiophile livestream today at 11:00 AM west coast!
I got bored and bailed after about a half hour. Fremer shoulda been there to keep it interesting.  
My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each
@tubeguy76: True, but a big part of touring musicians' incomes is from the sale of physical product at the merch table. If you stream instead of buy LP's and/or CD's/SACD's, there goes a big part of their income. The best result of the "digital r...

2channel8: If you want to start with an album of just Gillian and her guitarist/harmony singer David Rawlings, The Harrow & The Harvest is the one. All the songs on the album were written by Gillian and David, and the album was Grammy-nominate... 
Can't remember the name of a band.
I liked Huey Lewis' "Hip To Be Square".   
My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each
Do you guys know that the streaming services are even worse at paying the creators of music than are record companies? If this continues going the way it is, no one will be able to afford to be a musician. The guys in Dwight Twilley's band were m... 
Can't remember the name of a band.
Some people take comments made on this forum FAR too seriously. It’s entertainment, folks, not life-or-death. I guess I was assuming everyone viewed Chicago as do I. In the early 90’s I was doing some demo recordings with a talented young songwri... 
A perfect song? What are your choices?
"Waterloo Sunset" just may be my favorite song written and recorded by any UK band. In it I hear the same sense of wistful melancholy as I do from Brian Wilson's "God Only Knows". Very distinguished company to keep. I consider The Kinks' 4-album ... 
Keys/Piano - Funkiest Solo
Another favorite pianist of mine is Spooner Oldham, heard on all the great recordings that came out of Muscle Shoals (he was the pianist of The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section/aka The Swampers). His main instrument is a Hohner electric piano, as hear... 
How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music?
Did either of you get to see The Beat? The American/Paul Collins Beat, of course. I saw them twice at The Whiskey in late-'79/early-'80, and they were fan-f*cking-tastic! They created as much kinetic energy as The Who, but had (imo) better songs a...

For great SOUNDING recordings of female voice, you gotta hear the Acony Records LP’s of Gillian Welch. They also fulfill your request for "mainly acoustic", non-"loud electronic" music.  
Keys/Piano - Funkiest Solo
Most anything Dr. John (Mac Rebennack), Stevie Wonder, or Terry Adams (NRBQ) plays on. For Dr. John "Such A Night", for Stevie "Superstition", and for Terry "Want You To Feel Good Too".   
Can't remember the name of a band.
Sheesh, what a grouch. Buddy Holly: "Jazz is strictly for the stay-at-homes." I love Buddy Holly, don’t care for Chicago (corny music made by squares, no matter how "good" they are. Just my opinion, of course.). But that’s just me. I also love T...
