| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @gpgr4blu You’re welcome. I just ordered two more of their cds, myself. Didn’t want to risk driving my wife crazy playing "On the Ropes" over and over ;o) @bdp24 That must be amazing, once you get it down. . . | |
| Jazz for aficionados @yyzsantabarbara It seems fitting that it's a titan like Sonny who is still standing. Hard not to feel nostalgic and wonder whether Jazz will ever enjoy a resurgence. | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @bdp24 I didn’t mean in terms of how well the instruments partner/function together. I was thinking in terms of the fact that playing drums seems, like playing pedal steel, to require coordinating lots of things at onc. By comparison, guitar and... | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @larsman Thanks for your suggestions! | |
| JAYS Audio transport upgrade? @8th-note Makes sense, at that price. For more cash, Bricasti, Aqua and Gryphon make very fine transports that might beat it, in some ways. It's a moot point, however, as far as I'm concerned. They're all too expensive for me! My CDT2MKIII is ju... | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @larsman Much of Maiden’s more wonderfully melodic stuff always struck me in a similar way to Wishbone Ash, with the guitars intertwining in and out.... Can you recommend a particular album that exemplifies the above? @deep_333 Many metal... | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @deep_333 I don’t think there are actually that many stories/ themes/topics, be it music, visual art or literature. It’s not the what, so much as the how. The Iron Maiden tune is very pumped up -- unrelentingly so. there’s not really any contra... | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @larsman It depends on how you define Hard Rock, I guess. Is Jeff Beck Hard Rock? What about Hendrix? Where’s the dividing line between Hard Rock and Classic Rock? | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @larsman Sorry for my lack of clarity. I’d never tell any musician what they ought to play! I simply don’t relate to the aggression or focus on psychologically troubled states. I don’t like the way such music makes me feel physically or psycholo... | |
| JAYS Audio transport upgrade? @aolmrd1241 Excellent advice but not all gear is available from sellers who offer trial periods/return policies. I normally don’t buy anything I can’t demo at home and return if necessary but sometimes this just isn’t possible. I bought my Jay’s... | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued Why the obsession among the Hard Rock/Metal genres with themes of pain, death, fear, insanity, etc? I simply do not relate. I don’t know if Richie Kotzen qualifies as Hard Rock but I like this a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkKBcEV75WE ... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @bdp24 In this video, Fishell explains and demonstrates how the pedal steel guitar works: Crazy! Maybe this is the best stringed instrument for drummers to learn, given that it requires coordinating so much at once! | |
| 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. | |
