Allman, Clapton, and Simon
I have only heard bits & pieces of Simon's latest but sounds good to me and is on my next buy list...did recently pick up Robertson's latest and am very satisfied. Some great music in his "style" along with meningful lyrics...if you liked his ... 
Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........
Just received Robbie Robertson's new one...played it on my laptop(crappy sound) but fairly sure it's one of my better buys this year.....looking forward to tonight! 
Are you an Allison Krause and Union Station fan
I'm stoked as just received notice that they are playing at the Bethlehem Music Fest this August...wish it was a weekend but I'll be there just the same! 
Cowboy Junkies Best Songs
John, good picks...but you mean Black Eyed Man, right? 
Best Rock Album in 2010
yep, MOJO is a good disc indeed(and they were good in Philly last weekend!). I'm liking the latest Widespread Panic too! 
New music
and another nod for The Age Of Miracles. Well recorded and good quality music if you like somewhat laid back tunes with good lyrics(for the most part). Seems the Wedding Ring song was made as a ready for FM radio and is the least favorite of this ... 
Are there any albums you consider perfect?
I understand what 6550c is getting at...but, it also takes imagination and creativity to put some of those simple notes/chords together to make "music".I am continually in awe of good musicians regardless of their instruments or type of music. I w... 
New Tom Petty
UPS just delivered it to me at my office...can't wait to fire it up tonight at home. Even on my el cheapo PC speakers I am liking what I hear!Really looking forward to seeing them this summer in Philly! 
I need tunes at work
Well all of the above welcome suggestions are not so welcome at work. Once upon a time I could get XPN and others...life/work was good! I guess I'll just continue to bring in my own tunes. As I mentioned, Cowboy Junkies website is obtainable at wo... 
I need tunes at work
GTunnel is blocked also. I have done the mp3 thing but sometimes I like to do a little music exploring and work lends itself well to that. Mainly it's background music of course, but if a voice or tune sticks out for me I then go out and buy some ... 
John Prine
I can't tell you how may times I've felt the same way when I have seen an older person while on my lunchtime walk in town. Ever since I heard that song I make it a point to at least smile and say hello. Sometimes you can tell that person appreciat... 
Your First Vinyl Album.
The Ventures...had to have "Wipe Out" and the fold out centerfold beauty was a big plus! 
WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor
Due to an accident a few years ago my wife lost total hearing in her left ear. I had a chance to obtain some Vandersteens locally at a very reasonable price...but she also wanted to update the washer/dryer. We could only do one or the other...she ... 
First Plasma/LCD purchase ever - a few questions..
Interesting info Vic. I hope to be TV shopping sometime this year too. I was always under the impression that a professional calibration is a lot more involved and the results are better than anything you can do with a DVD, but as Vic pointed out ... 
Vinyl albums
popsike.com is very interesting. I have no intention of selling any of my vinyl but it's always fun to see what things are being collected and how much the market will bear. It's amazing to me how much my Mickey Mantle baseball cards are worth eve...
