| Cream — Stormy Monday @tablejockey I didn’t hear T Bone’s version until many years after I heard the Live at Fillmore East version and I still tend to view the B. Bland/Allmans arrangement as my baseline for comparisons. Played as a generic I/IV/V, the tune always so... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday @zlone Something special happens on that one. Yes! On the DVD, Clapton announces "I think we're going to play every tune we know". Of course, they didn't. Due to age, EC can be forgiven for having forgotten some but nevertheless, I wish th... | |
| Favorite Obscure Rock Song I love "Station Man" and love Danny Kirwan’s playing, both from that period and earlier with P. Green. I’ve started working it out on guitar several times but never managed to learn it all the way through. Not really sure what qualifies as "obscu... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday Different strokes. Personally, I’ve always preferred the B.B. Bland/Allman Bros. arrangement. FWIW, my favorite performance and favorite Clapton guitar work from the Albert Hall reunion gigs is this version of "We’re Going Wrong". As much as I l... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jdougs ... and don't forget bassist Eddie Gomez! | |

| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister "and he does not makes noise at all ... " Perhaps, in the not-so-distant future, someone will develop an AI tool that removes all the grunts, groans, moans, etc. from Jarrett's recordings ;o) | |
| What to do with a large collection @rvpiano Did you ask your local Friends of the Library org.? They often have book and music sales to raise money. This has nothing to do with the library collection. Various charities have book/music sales. Independent radio stations, too. ... | |
| Contemporary Classical Composers - new discoveries @mahgister Sorabji is intriguing. Will explore. Thanks! | |
| My New Year’s Wish for my fellow audiophiles. @2psyop "Borderline obsessed" ? What's that ? ;o) | |
| Jazz for aficionados @wharfy I was lucky to catch Les in concert in '76. He was a master at blending Saturday night and Sunday morning -- a supremely soulful artist and a dynamic performer. @curiousjim This is the first performance by him I like. He's actually ... |
