| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio @bkeske,What do you think Brahms would say about, say for instance, Schoenberg? Isometimes I like to speculate.... I doubt anything positive, but to be expected when he could not foresee the future or understand any rationale to mov... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio Apparently Brahms himself didn’t care for Bruckner much. Yes James, as I understand Brahms said Bruckner’s work was ‘unlistenable’. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yea, sad indeed. Damn cancer. Got to see Chick and Pat Metheny play at a bar, of all places, in Columbus (German Village area) back in the late 80’s. Fun evening, and found myself very lucky to see both of them in such a intimate setting.God speed... | |
