| JAYS Audio transport upgrade? @larseand You’re asking about upgrading cdt2mkll to cdt2mklll, right? THIS: https://www.tekaudiospecialties.com/product-page/mk3-upgrade-kit Ask Todd at TEK Audio. He is a straight shooter. | |

| For fans of John McLaughlin and Mahavishnu Orchestra @simonmoon Thanks for the suggestion! @pryso FYI: I didn't expect you to have an answer. | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @bdp24 From what I’ve seen on the forum so far, you’re the ideal candidate. You seem to know/care more about the genre than anyone on the forum. I second the nomination ! ! ! | |
| For fans of John McLaughlin and Mahavishnu Orchestra @pryso What I don’t understand is why a box set of live M.O. performances has never been released. As far as I know, all that’s officially available is the concert in Central Park. Surely, more shows were taped, given their popularity at the tim... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters I think we need an ongoing Americana discussion thread, comparable to the "Jazz for Aficionados" thread ! Here's a link to that NRPS recording @larsman mentioned... not exactly a mellow hippie song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZXmj6KjK2I | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @ezwind What I mean to say was, from what I learned from Rick Beato's interview with Skunk Baxter about the instrument, playing pedal steel while high on psychedelics sounds nigh impossible! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jaym759 Wow -- lucky you! I grew up in the lower Hudson Valley (Middletown) but was too young to drive at that point. At least for me trying to put words to non-verbal experiences is challenging I don’t think this comes easily for anyone. ... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @asvjerry 'Survivors' Guilt'? A bit, but happy to not have to start all over.... As long as you appreciate your good fortune, no reason to feel guilty! I live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, otherwise known as the "Gold Country" and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos I would dare to say that relation between artist, or his work and audience is often not related Hmm. . . I’m not so sure, now that I’ve had more time to reflect. I found performing equally rewarding and frustrating and for me, that... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @asvjerry I considered asking how your fared during Helene, but then it occurred to me that, depending upon your experience, you might prefer not to be reminded of it. @zlone Thanks for the tip! No Depression magazine is another. | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @asvjerry If you live near Asheville, I imagine there will be opportunities to hear them play live. Check their website. I pretty much always regard the inclusion of pedal steel as a positive! They've released about half a dozen recordings. I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jaym759 Sorry for my careless sentence construction. I meant the greatest reward/top goal for some players, including me, in playing in a group is accessing that state wherein "the music plays the band". There’s a sense of being propelled along... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jaym759 Thanks for the clarification. Now I understand! I’m not sure that all artists would agree that moving the listener is their top priority, though. We creatives tend to be extremely critical of our work so I’d venture that most artists a... | |
