| SQ of "Rock of Ages" on CD @tomcy6 Thanks; I'll check it out. I asked here because I've purchased cds before that were popular on the Hoffman site and have not liked the SQ of the mixes they favor. I suspect Rock of Ages was simply not recorded well, to begin with, whi... | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. My favorite CSN/CSNY tunes have always been Crosby's. His distinctive melodic sensibility and fondness for open tunings on big 'ol Martin dreads has a lot to do with it. IICORMN is one of my favorite albums of its genre. As to his personal falli... | |
| Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde @roxy54 +1... and grateful! | |

| Gurf Morlix @jc4659 You’re welcome. Note that the youtube ACL performances I mentioned with Gurf are from 1989. In retrospect, I guess I should've said his playing with her is "exemplary" or "provides a text book example of how to back up a singer". The ... | |
| Gurf Morlix Gurf was a major force behind Lucinda's early career rise. His understated, supportive playing is an exercise in how to back up a singer. Not flashy-- just very tasteful-- for those who appreciate that sort of thing. Check out the performances f... | |
