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...

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, ...

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 ...

Cover Songs that are better than the Original
Another Desperado cover, done by Clint Black.  My favorite version of this great song.

Thank you for the info bdp.  I find it a little disconcerting that one surviving member seems to have a slightly different view of the collective known as The Band.  Recent interviews, statements, make me much more sympathetic to Levon's views on ... 
Somebody knows these speakers brand and model?
There were called "pregnant robots" when they were in stores, in the mid-70s.   
Somebody knows these speakers brand and model?
I wanted these a few years back; long ago, when these were new to the market, I live in NYC, heard these at Harmony House and fell for them,  At that time had no money to buy them, but wish I could have, and would love a pair if functional today. ...

Your last concert was to see who and when?
Last week Roger Hogdson (aka Supertramp).
