| MacArthur Park Trumpeter Maynard Ferguson’s version is well known in jazz circles. I had a vinyl record of it in 1975, nearly recorded around the same time as DS’ version. | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? Deodato, performing a live concert on Waikiki Beach in 1974. Top that! | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass Each piano varies in tonality. But I’d argue that despite piano’s being a so called percussive instrument acoustic piano’s ring with overtones that no bass can match. And no digital piano can match the overtones of an acoustic piano. | |
| How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there. Every time I think I’m done, great used buys keep dragging me back in! | |
| Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap? I have an 8 year old Samsung that I’ve watched for several hours every day.

| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? Electrostatic, for certain. And think Jazz drummers. | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? Absolutely tight, but a natural sounding bass. As if an actual jazz upright bass player is in the room. I’ve only heard that from an OB speaker I used to own that had 15” bass drivers that were created specifically for OB speakers. The thunk, the ... | |
| Integrated that blew you away A $700 (used to me) tube amplifier by Willsenton that takes 4 KT88 or 4 EL34 tubes. That’s what I call bang for buck! | |
| Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse? Heck no. I stick with what has worked my entire life. Class A, and Class A/B. I don’t need to experiment with some new Class simply because it’s new. Some of are satisfied with tube amps, or Class A or A/B. Done are we. | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? Miles Davis John Coltrane Wes Montgomery Most anything Jazz |
