| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Hmmmm…..ok Bach, “Brandenburg Concertos” | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Moody Blues “Seventh Sojourn” (currently my favorite) Heard it streaming on vacation and can’t get it out of my head…bought the 2007 (?) remaster and am pleased. Even in the day….believed to be their best (and final) release. | |

| Shane MacGowan has passed on. With an album entitled “Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash” one knew the Pogues weren’t going to deliver a load of ballad/love songs! Elvis Costello at the producer’s helm didn’t hurt……til the next day. | |

| I won the stressless lottery Did it come with NOS tubes? | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? Because I needed a small subwoofer that would fit under my modified-buffet stereo cabinet, I chose to start with one sub and was immediately pleased with the enhanced SQ. However, after listening for a few weeks I decided something was off, the b... | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. (Manic Monday is another great Prince-written song.) Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away by Stevie W. is one I always find comfort with. The saddest, concise, mostly unknown pop song IMO is Quits by Danny O’Keefe, Linda Ronstadt backing vocals... |
