| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport Underwood, as far as I know, does not accept returns on Pro-ject. I've found showroom demos can be unreliable and while I read reviews extensively before purchasing, I'd never buy a component solely on the basis of a review, without the option t... | |
| Retrospectrum: Bob Dylan @bigquery: "Dylan’s visual practice" Are we to infer Zimmie utilizes visual art as a form of meditation ? | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Weir/Barlow: "Ya ain't gonna learn what ya don't wanna know" . . . more apt today than ever, unfortunately. | |
| New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..! Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene is 9K and Silverline SR17 Supreme is 7.5K,. It's not as if the Heritage Special is in a price category of its own. I wasn't aware that affordability was a hallmark of this hobby! | |
| The Beatles upcoming '' Let It Be '' Documentary Film ..... What I'd like to know is why "Don't Let Me Down" , which IMHO is one of the better songs from those sessions, continues to be treated as non-essential, relegated to the second disc of the 2 disc set. Reason enough for me to not buy it. | |

| Rock musicians with musical education. ... not that young hot-shots can't mature into fine artists... Ritchie Kotzen's a terrific example. Check out his Live in Japan live video on youtube. The chops are now in the service of something much greater. | |
| Rock musicians with musical education. Not clear to me whether OP is suggesting a university degree is a "better" approach to musical education or whether more "complex" (Prog, Fusion) forms of Rock are "superior" to simpler forms. "Musical education" need not be in a classroom environ... | |
| Live music you have attended that left impact....perhaps better than you expected. Bonnie Raitt, Sweet Forgiveness Tour. Late 70's. Final show of the tour and Bonnie and the band were red hot. She really strutted her stuff, showed she was much better than I'd ever realized. At the end, her dad came out and sang "Oklahoma" ! Ri... | |

| 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... |
