| Gurf Morlix @jc4659 You’re welcome. Note that the youtube ACL performances I mentioned with Gurf are from 1989. In retrospect, I guess I should've said his playing with her is "exemplary" or "provides a text book example of how to back up a singer". The ... | |
| Gurf Morlix Gurf was a major force behind Lucinda's early career rise. His understated, supportive playing is an exercise in how to back up a singer. Not flashy-- just very tasteful-- for those who appreciate that sort of thing. Check out the performances f... | |

| Streaming integrated for Silverline Sonatinas In my system, Silverline + Hegel is a terrific pairing. | |
| Downloading Audio from YouTube? @riley804 I just responded--sorry for the delay! | |

| Disappearing Jazz? @bigquery If you give us a better idea of what you’re looking for, we can make specific suggestions in terms of contemporary Jazz artists. Spotify (free, with ads) is an excellent resource for exploring unknown artists. | |

| Sad songs- We love them- We need them Great thread! Interesting, how subjective this can be. . . A few that spring to mind: Severely underrated, IMHO, Janis Ian has written some devastatingly sad songs. Try "Jessie". Sandy Denny: I can’t listen to her solo recordings due to the em... | |
| LaScala dac with telefunken tubes @jred57 In fact, they do show up used, occasionally. You just have to watch the hifi shark listings. I believe The Music Room are Aqua dealers and may offer a trial period. Their new price is $8320.00 Some who’ve upgraded from the much lower ... | |
| The Killer Has Died @waytoomuchstuff " I appreciate the incredible talent, inspite of his indiscretions. Does this make me a bad person?" The reality is: artists are human and humans are flawed (some to a greater degree than others). Each listener must make up ... | |
