| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Michael Carvin is certainly not a name that comes up, often! I had a duo album he did with Jacki Mc Lean, at one point -- back when I listened to vinyl. The main reason I switched to CDs was that a lot of Jazz had gone out of pr... | |
| Dust Removal @macg19 That looks promising. Thanks. Amazon sells similar units with lower power ratings. I'm curious why you chose the 250 watt unit. | |
| Best place to live for good quality power I live in a rural area. It's free of penguins, so far but perhaps the Polar Vortex will change this. Each home in this neighborhood of large parcels has its own transformer and the nearest sub-station is about a 15 minute walk. Line from pole to ... | |

| Dust Removal @nonoise I remember how things used to be, as you describe. I suppose every generation tends to believe things were better "back in the day" but the evaporation of what was once called " common courtesy" is truly lamentable. At the same time, I... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Ok thanks @stuartk for the Toshiko Akiyoshi suggestions. You’re welcome! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @dmk_calgary I just discovered that Kenny Wheeler was Canadian -- I'd always thought he was a Brit ! One of my favorite ECM artists. @ho249 PFE displays an interesting combination of influences. | |
| Dust Removal Thanks for all the suggestions. . . quite a range, here ! | |

| Plastic sleeves for cd's... @fbgbill Since most of my cd’s are in jewel cases, any new ones that come in cardboard I put them in jewel cases and cut the cardboard to fit tin the case Yes; I do this as well. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @dmk_calgary , @acman3 Thanks for your suggestions. Tragic loss, Remler. There was no official live release but there are some live performances on youtube. |
