| Bands/artists you never got to see live in their heyday, but would've liked to. @schubert:Woody Shaw --- far better than old-fashioned Artie !Jimi with Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell (because I actually prefer his post-psychedelic phase)Allmans with Duane Faces, when R.

| Pat Martino I'd already become familiar with CAGED and was used to building chords from triads by the time I encountered Martino's approach, so his idea of utilizing + and dim chords as "parents" didn't seem to fit with what I'd learned up to that point. Any... | |
| Monitor suggestions? @tweak1:I tried the less expensive model (I prefer a soft dome tweeter) and was underwhelmed, probably due to the fact that I have a fairly large space. @audio0guru:Not sure the Ushers would best the Silverlines but thanks. @tweak1:Thanks for the ... | |
| Pat Martino Wow-- that must've been really something! As a guitar player, I'd love to hear more. What were you working on with him and how do you think your studies with him most benefitted your playing? ? ? | |
| Pat Martino I believe Joyous Lake and Starbright were released as a "twofer" by 32Jazz. | |
| Pat Martino Well, he played Fusion while that was the fashion but it seems to me he was more grounded in Mainstream Jazz than some of those you mention. He and Coryell were similar in this regard. | |
| Advice needed re: new CD player purchase @jeroboam:It sounds to me like you simply have an itch for a new CDP. Nothing wrong with that. Buy the Bryston! To take advantage of current digital playback, it seems to me, would require a separate DAC and transport, or else a very expensive CDP... | |

| Advice needed re: new CD player purchase Sorry about the typos! | |

| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? Nights throughout the 60's, I listened to to WABC out of NYC, via a transistor radio under the covers. The only records my parents played were Classical and Broadway Shows, which I didn't dislike but I much preferred the Beatles and Motown. In the... | |
| RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . . @dabel:. Thanks! | |
| RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . . @ghasley:I don't see an upside to revealing the person's ID but they 've been a forum participant for quite a long time. | |
| RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . . MD has ruled out any serious causes for my symptoms so I'll be participating again, but with considerably more caution when it comes to PM'ing others. Thanks for all the positive messages! | |
| Joan Baez - Do I just not get it? Baez elicits the very same reaction in me, goatwuss. Perhaps she was classically trained?Rhiannon Giddens is a highly respected artist who started out singing opera but switched to Roots styles. To my ear, her singing sounds exceedingly stilted. I... |
