| Jazz for aficionados nsp, I don’t know that Randy was considered better than Michael, but he was the senior of the two. By the time Michael was making a name for himself, Randy was already well established. Maybe that was it. Both great players. I’ll have to try Pink ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Huh?! | |
| Jazz for aficionados I like fiction, O-10. I like facts, too. Better? I like Granny Smiths best 😋 | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, you may find this of interest:Monk first wrote “Round Midnight” with the “drippy, girl type” title “I Need You So”. He wrote it while romancing his first wife. He, himself, and with the help of a friend wrote lyrics and the song was his atte... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice to hear from you, mary_jo. Love Morricone! https://youtu.be/rTVjnBo96Ug | |

| Best father daughter dance song for wedding? Not Butterfly Kisses... Beautiful! | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Raul, somehow you have managed to miss, or ignore, the point I was making. Moreover, you are also being very selective and “political” with your disagreements. No common sense? C’mon now, language barrier or not you must know that this will be a v... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Nah! Not in our imagination at all. Why is it that it is not good enough that some listeners find a certain truth in analog sound that eludes digital to varying degrees? We are talking about music, a key component of which is the emotion, expressi... | |
