Great country recording
Clint Black, Dwight Yoakum, Merle Haggard.  Are you interested in specific recording recommendations beyond just artists?  Some of Willie's are also great, and of course Emmylou too. 
John Prine
Tragic. 
Kenny Rogers, 1938-2020
Sad, really sad. 
Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?....
I use my old (late "70s) Luxman T-110. 
Focal 1028Be or JBL L100 classics (your choice)
I purchased the JBL L100 classics last year, and find them one of the best purchases I ever made.  I listened extensively to the Focal 28 and 38, and there is no comparison, in my opinion.  These new JBLs are wonderful.  By the way, my other speak... 
Beatles on Sunday
I suspect many/most areas of the country have similar Beatles Shows on Sunday morning, here in the Philadelphia area they do, I know in NYC they do.  Always love them!! 
Elvis Presley's Mystery Influence - Jimmy Sweeney
Thank you.  I find these limited RSD releases a big annoyance, with the ability to acquire one very limited.  Why?  Would an artist not be better off with as wide as possible availability, or are these designed to create interest, or what, I have ... 
Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense?
An addendum to what I said above:  what is your strategy here?  Mine was to simplify and reduce the clutter, the number of boxes, etc., without compromising the joy I get from playing music in my home.  I have zero regrets going to integrated with... 
Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense?
I would go with the Luxman integrated.  I would listen, take a look-see, and then buy.   
James Taylor
bdp, they are white marine pearl finish, the older set, with the tom mounted on the bass drum. And yes, round badge. I am not sure of 3 or 6 ply, will need to inspect, but he lives 110 miles away these days, in Brooklyn. And yes, thank you Merle, ... 
James Taylor
bdp, no time to cry is one that does that to me too, and Merle Haggard's cover of that does the same.  I love the fact that music can cause such emotion in me, its what is so addictive about it, I feel.  by the way bdp, my drummer son, who has my ... 
Calling Vandersteen Treo owners
AT 67 years old, 5'11'' is my maximum I think; I watched my parents "shrink" with age.  But nope, the sweet spot is still in a seated position, usually leaning a bit forward.  And man, is it worth it! 
Once Were Brothers in theaters Friday, February 28th
Eric, happy to see you can forgive and forget!  We all will be old (er) some day I hope.  His predictability I find charming.  And amusing.  I am always looking for things to make me smile, or laugh out loud.  Schubert seems to do that with his wo... 
James Taylor
bdp, yes, that Moon River.  It has long been a song that I love, tears me up to hear it, and James does it sooo well here.   
Once Were Brothers in theaters Friday, February 28th
I, for one, always appreciate/look forward to (but rarely agree with) Schubert's posts.  He is nothing if not consistent in his views/criticisms.  I find them refreshing in their consistency and honesty, even though I agree with him nearly never. ...
