| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Most of the remaining singers have some real and marketable talent I think.I think I read this year they are steering more towards providing the singers the professional constructive guidance and other assistance they need as amateurs at this stag... | |

| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues is a much under appreciated guitarist.He knows how to embellish music with his playing and has done so on many of my favorite recordings. He can be lightning fast and flashy also when needed, but seldom over does it. | |

| moody blues vs rock hall of fame "Their first 6 or 7 albums are some of the best music ever made, by anyone."I don't like to throw around the word "best" much, but I'll agree that they hold their own up there with me and I have listened to a lot of different music in most every g... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? "We have all been told not to judge and to except this bad sounding so called heartfelt artistry"Aha, so that's what those voices in my head must have been saying!Sinatra had a great voice and was magic when he was on but frankly produced a lot of... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Schipo,That's pretty harsh.Didn't realize there had to be guidelines to ensure singers sing a certain way.BTW, I agree about the worthless and needless vocal gyrations that many singers are enamored with these days. It's all in the artistry, heart... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? My best moments of late come when I listen to some old favorite recording that I have heard so may times with so many different kinds of gear over the years and I cannot find a fault in what I hear.Its been a while since I have been where I am afr... | |
| How do Ohm Walsh speakers compare to Maggies? 'My Walsh 2000s create extremely solid and tangible images of both instruments and voices, throughout the soundstage. "Yes, I would say the same applies to my Super Walsh 2 100S3s and OHM F 5S3s.They are not overly fussy about placement compared t... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Well, Jacob made it through last night!He was advised prior to performing this week by his "coaches" to hold back a bit this week, and he did, but the judges advised him afterwards to essentially be himself and don't hold back, which I suspect is ... |
