| So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician? I started playing electric guitar almost 40 years ago. I then learned how to build classical guitars by studying under a master luthier. About 2 years later I quit building guitars exclusively and got into making wood furniture. Since then I've go... | |

| Review: DCM TimeWindow 1 Speaker I too am an original owner of a pair of TW1s and TW3s. I just freed them both up in the last year as gifts to family. They served my musical tastes for many years with a wide variety of electronics. I always thought that the treble was rolled off ... | |

| 1st song you remember??? Sleep Walk by Santo and Johnny. In the early 50s. I don't know why I liked it so much but my mom bought me the 45 and I played it along with all my other kiddy 45s. One thing it did to me, it stuck in my head for the rest of my life and when I hea... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green John Cippolina, now there was an interesting musician. How about "The Fool"? | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green I wouldn't call Hendrix a blues guitarist by any means. He could certainly play a blues and add his specialness to what he played; witness Red House and Voodoo Chile but he did not front a blues repertoire and that was the focus of this question.I... | |
