| Caveat about the Cable Company return policy @fsonicsmith1 Yes; Steven was great. I'll forfeit a couple hundred dollars in unutilized deposit fees but won't be buying anything more from TCC. | |
| Then Play On The live Boston Tea Party recordings from around the same time are also terrific. | |
| Building a synergistic system. What to buy? Not a gear recommendation per se but if you want to try out gear in your room and also maximize buying power by going used, TMR (The Music Room) offers a return policy on most if not all gear they sell. Not a "fan boy" but I've found them very pr... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: @bdp24 "...has everybody heard Joan Osborne singing "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted" backed by the bros?" Yes, indeed. Stand-out performance ! | |

I'll check out the Goldberg variations, as you suggest. So, no Elvin Jones or Tony Williams recordings for you! I get it -- a "little goes a long way"... | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings @gg107 Thanks for the additional suggestions. Ravel and Satie have also been suggested by others. They're at the top of my list for exploring on Spotify. I had imagined Beethoven might have a single bluesy bone in his body! | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings @newbee Great idea! This has occurred to me but I haven’t had a clue re: how to go about it. Also, forays on Spotify have made me aware that listening to groups of any short form in one sitting can test my patience, especially if the differences... | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings @gg107 I apologize for the curt tone of my response -- it was unwarranted. I do appreciate your having taken the time to make a suggestion. | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings @mahler123 OK-- second vote for Michelangelo. I will keep him in mind. Don't recall having heard Ciccolini's name, before. Will investigate them both. Thanks! |
