| Most achingly-beautiful music I will stand on the adagios on Schubert's late string quartets, see above. Lately though,I have really gone back to very early American music like Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family. Call it country music or even hillbilly music, I really do not... | |

| Srangest ,most out there sounding music Little Black Egg, by the Nightcrawlers; I still have not figured out what the hell it means, let alone why the song exists in the first place. If anyone knows the history of this song I would be very appreciative. | |
| Amplifier design / Bob Carver's thoughts Sean: I still have my Phase Linear 400 from 1971, still runs. Not much current for speakers less than 4 ohms, but works fine with anything else. I ran the PL 400 about 2 months ago with the Radians, a little lean on the high end, the bass response... | |
| Best of your best - Your Top 25 I forgot the Main Point in Bryn Mawr, I saw Muddy Waters there in 1970. My next door neighbor ( sexy Yvonne, she was 4 years older than I) went to American Bandstand a number of times in the late 50s, early 60s. Edmund's Scientific was over in Bar... | |

| Srangest ,most out there sounding music John Cage's 4'33". The pianist walks up to the piano, sits down, opens the keyboard cover, waits 4minutes and 33 seconds, closes the keyboard ccover, and gets up and walks away. Silence is one a part of the musical material a composer uses. John j... |
