| Looking for repair tech in NJ / Meitner Thanks davehrab, and all who responded, it was indeed Peter (bigkidz); I have contacted him. | |
| Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's? Ok, just listened to Adele’s Grammy performance on YouTube. Coincidentally, just a couple of days ago I asked my wife, who is a fan, to play Adele’s latest CD for me; I don’t listen to many pop singers, had only heard bits and pieces of her work a... | |
| Looking for repair tech in NJ / Meitner Interesting proposition, Jetter. Do you have the version with the tubular heat sinks? Let's be in touch about this. Thanks | |
| Just how great is Elvis Costello Can’t say I am familiar with all, or even a lot, of his work, but whenever I hear Costello sing I always think "this guy is a true artist". When he sings he projects CONVICTION and always delivers the message of the song. He has limited vocal chop... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****let's talk about Jazz bassist...Was there anyone of significance prior to Scott LaFaro?****You bet there was. Duke Ellington's bassist Jimmy Blamton was very influential . How about Ray Brown, Paul Chambers, Milt Hinton, Charles Mingus, Wilb... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good story, O-10; and thanks for the kind words and for burying the hatchet. Since it's too soon to dig it up again I'll overlook the "musicians are crazy" comment 😊 .......for now. Regards. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, thanks for the link. Very interesting stuff. Fascinating story about a very unique sounding instrument. | |

| To Variac or not to Variac? Thanks for your response, kijanki. You're probably correct. I did contact the manufacturer about this and their tech suggested that as a precaution it was probably a good idea to variac. I did and all is well. Thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Should / does the name and music have any relationship? Should a person be able to hear and follow the theme or subject indicated by the name?****Should? Grandma used to tell me: "there are no "shoulds" in life". In seriousness, should the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, in your haste to disagree with me you miss the fact that we are, in fact, in agreement about "Blood Count"; and "The Peacocks", for that matter. You found it dreary; I can understand that. I, don't mind "dreary" and appreciate the artistry... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, a "signature" tune is simply a tune that an artist performs in almost every engagement and is readily identified with; nothing more, nothing less. I am just as sure that Strayhorn (and Hodges) would be flattered that a great player like Get... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, sorry to hear about your terrible experience. I hope that somehow you are made whole by the Agon system or by some other means. As others have said, I hope you reconsider your involvement here. Your opinions on the music are valued an... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A few recent topics, Johnny Hodges’ immediately recognizable (should be) sound and style, Stan Getz, and music that evokes an emotion other than "happy" beg a revisit of what is, along with "The Peacocks", one of the most evocative melodies ever w... |
