That was very well written Alex; it's amazing how people who live here can not see the forest for the trees. It's best not to soil brains that have been washed spotlessly clean. Now we go back to the music.

Alex, I didn't even know jazz existed before "Bird"; at least that's what my collection looks like. Now I'll have to correct that.Evidently you didn't know about the back and forth banter me and Rok have had in regard to "Sweet Georgia Brown"; ...

Rok, I left the south out of that last post, and I never want the South to feel left out, so I'm giving you 3 links this time, but I'll make the third one music.      http://www.salon.com/2014/03/12/8_disturbing_trends_that_reveal_the_souths_batte...

Alex, I decided to peruse my collection in search of the Duke, and this is what I found.           https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYgow060zOg        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25525pGA4C8Although "Azure" is in my collection, this is the fi...

Alex, I'm savoring your contributions; they're so fresh and new to me. I've heard a lot about the musicians, like Earl Hines and Herb Pomeroy, but don't have them in my collection.Body and Soul by John Lewis is really mellow; Jim Hall is one of m...

Frogman, the only place communism exists is in Cuba, and the poor people are doing better in Cuba than they are here. Communism is about as much a threat here as the boogieman.We fought a war in Vietnam to stop communism, and we all Know how that...

Rok, you're 100% correct, looking at everything through the prism of race is total stupidity.If you look through the prism of economic class, you will see the light, and that's what Fox TV forbids. Then, if you're a working class stiff, you will ...

Rok, I'm so glad you didn't come up with any of the answers I expected you to come up with.Now I can happily get back to the music.This is the most unusual record in my collection          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhdFmgoP4NEEnjoy the music.

Rok, this is a musical forum and I thoroughly appreciated your contribution of Valaida Snow., when I mentioned "conspiracy", I was thinking of entertainers other than Ms. Snow who were affected because they didn't follow the script.Enjoy the music.

Rok, I smell a "conspiracy" in regard to that harassment after she married a young husband.Once "they" found something that could stick "they" wouldn't let up.Who cares about what an entertainer does as long as they entertain? Nobody but "them".W... 
"Vintage" high end gear vs new and upgrade path?
Go all the way with the rega: motor, tone arm wire, sapphire sub platter, weight at end of tone arm, new platter in exchange for glass platter, and wind up with the sound of a Sota Sapphire. 
are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD
Inna I have a Technics 2 track that I listen to a lot. Most of the time I listen to the playback list on the computer.A few years ago, Stereophile ran articles on the best audiophile cards to install in your computer, and there was a lot of discu...
