| The majic of early 1970's rock and it's influence- I think that a lot of "genius" is set loose when there are no inhibitors. Booze and drugs makes for some interesting art - you cannot ignore this factor. | |
| Favorite Lesser Known Sax Players Wow! I've got a lot of exploring to do. The only others I might see missing that I know of are Scott Hamilton and Gene Ammons. Great list folks! | |
| Favorite Lesser Known Sax Players David SillsHe's only got a handful of CD's out but I believe we'll be hearing a lot more of him. I picked up a CD of his in a bargain bin, 'Journey Together'. He does a version of "We'll Be Together Again" that absolutely turned me into an instant... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? I can't let any of my guitar heros from some of my favorite albums slip by this thread: Joe Perry, Joe Walsh and Steve Miller. Some of the most recognizable riffs of all time came out of these guys. | |
| Hunter S. Thompson R.I.P. "The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over." ----- Hunter S. Thompson | |
| Top "covers" You Really Got Me - Van Halen / The KinksThe first cover song that I was ever really conscious of when I was first blown away by this album at the tender young age of 14. Although I was unaware that it was a cover at the time, the scorching versio... | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? Around the World with Three Dog Night - double live album that totally blows all their studio versions away. Listen to 'Mama Told Me Not to Come' and tell me I'm wrong! | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? Yo Ray, haven't heard Making Magic yet. I think I bought Crash and Burn when I was like 16 - a little too young to be able to afford collecting at that point. I recall listening to a later album of his and thought it was a little too synthesized f... | |
| Large Audio Libraries I've got a friend that uses Windows Media Center and is able to access his collection via remote through his television. He also does searches via wireless keyboard. I didn't recall him being able to access directory stuctures in this way. I did t... | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? Pat Travers - Snortin' Whiskey.....INsanity! | |
| anybody know jazz Paris Combo - self titled or 'Attraction'. Jazz-based with a little taste of everything. Lots of fun. Hit one of the CD sites for samples, you won't be sorry. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? 'Dire Straits'. I like to describe it as "guitarchitecture". Knopfler and crew were absolute mavericks putting out an album like this considering some of the crap that was out at that time. I just could not get over the range in Knopflers guitar w... | |
| Jimmy Smith - RIP Nice little piece on NPR. Here's a link to the audio:http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4492790 | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steve Tibbetts - Buy yourself a copy of "Yr" before a replacement 'Big Map Idea". Listen to Track 2 - Sphexes. It's cost me thousands in audio gear. | |
