| Whats on your turntable tonight? On the TT tonight: Joan Baez, "Noel" and The Kingston Trio "The Last Month of the Year." Time traveling. Joan sounds fresh, at least. I'm surprised Vanguard would have thought this was a commercially viable release. I think it was ahead of i... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks for that in-depth analysis--I love Levon's playing (and Richard Manuel was no slouch on the kit himself). And I enjoy when drummers stray from the obvious--Ringo on Ticket to Ride or Tomorrow Never Knows, for instance. One of my favorite... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Interesting comments about drumming, bdp24. I'm not a drummer but I think I know what you mean. BTW, do you mean 1968? B.S. broke up in '68 so would not have been playing in '69. They toured with The Beach Boys and Strawberry Alarm Clock in th... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados This is a good opportunity to say it again--there's no better bargain than the 60 disc box set of the Beaux Artes Trio commemorating their 60th anniversary. You can find it for around 100 dollars on ebay. It will give you a life time of great li... | |
| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. "Aurora" by Jean-Luc Ponty and band. Sort of the MJQ of fusion. And very well recorded IMHO. | |
| What is your favorite holiday song? Slow song: O Holy NightFast Song: Sleigh RideArtists: hard to beat Nat King Cole or Karen Carpenter this time of year. I also like Randy Travis' version of Jingle Bell Rock--it's a good fit. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert, re: Guarneri, Debussy/Ravel--there's an LP of the later edition of the Guarneri playing the Ravel only. Two movements per side. The playing and the recording are both very fine. It's called "French Album No. 1" and well worth the mon... | |
| Willie Nelson - a couple of questions please "Phases and Stages" is rather interesting--one side of the LP gives the woman's point of view of a disintegrating marriage and the other side gives the man's. Also, it includes that great tune "Bloody Merry Morning." | |
| Annoying sounds from cars at stop light Q: What's the difference between a symphony orchestra and a water buffalo?A: The buffalo has the horns in the front and the a**hole in the back. | |
| Annoying sounds from cars at stop light bdp24, after years of standing in front of loud guitar amps I found that the greatest sound pressure was found right behind the horn section (for my orchestration class) during school orchestra rehearsals. Most disconcerting. And it reminds me o... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? "When you transfer vinyl to reel to reel, it sounds better on playback. The same goes for CD. Many professional audiophiles have concluded there is nothing better than reel to reel."Would it not be true for you that reel to reel sounds better t... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? There are some good hybrid integrated amps out there. Does anyone know of any that are SS pre- and tube power? I've only seen tube pre- and SS power... | |
| David Crosby If Only I Could Remember My Name +1 for JG on Laughing. Otherworldly and beautiful. | |
| Lee Ann Womack mofimadness, you might check out Amanda Pearcy, another Texas (Austin) singer/songwriter. Her second release, "Royal Street," is the best place to start IMO. |
