| Hearing Test Geoffkait, try it with good cans. Traditionally this kind of test is designed for headphones. | |
| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? My favorite speaker company is still designing and building an outstanding product. I know there are high quality electronics out there. So IMO all is well--it's not a case of "audiogone." | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Schubert, I put down the pipe over 20 years ago but, as Redd Foxx said when his doctor told him to quit eating pork, "Shit, I don't want to be lying up there in the hospital dying of NOTHING!" | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? I like Mahler's 1st--a lot. I heard another Mahler (2nd?) symphony performed a few years back and it was like 90 minutes of driving through a Kansas wheatfield until the chorus sang for a minute and transported us all to a better place. It was not... | |
| Why Do Musicians Still Need Record Companies? Hey, Czarivey, I know a lot of other "disabled" people who don't have the luxury or fallback of being able to play music. | |
| Who believes that Robert Plant As evidenced by so many good answers, no on is best. I'd liked to mention a couple of guys with wide range: Arthur Brown and Captain Beefheart. | |
| I would love some suggestions on great acoustic... Manuel Barrueco--Albeniz/Granados, Vox LP also available in a 3 CD VOX set (I think it's called something like "400 years of Classical Guitar) | |

| Need some recommendations - hard driving big band There's an old Buddy Rich album with "Birdland" on it--I think it's direct-to-disc. If I find it among my LP's I'll list the title for you. Or perhaps another member can help us out with this. | |
| the greatest pop song ever? Jebel, if it's the song I think it is--I think it was on the charts in the 60's before Sesame Street existed. | |
| Anyone still playing on Cassette decks? I don't have mine hooked up at present but I think it's fine for older pop stuff. The better the source recording the less I want to hear it on cassette. | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 Ptss, yes, I think composers are usually on their best behavior when writing a string quartet. Not sure why, but I'm glad for it. | |
| What does music mean to your life/ As a lifelong music teacher who still plays the occasional club or cafe gig, music is huge in my life. I married another music teacher, my kids both play and most of my meaningful relationships arose from musical pursuits. Some of my students have... | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 I think I have 3 recordings of it--but I'm a quartet nut. | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 I thought it was a well-known piece. Another movement was pirated to make the pop tune "Baubles, Bangles and Beads."Regardless, it's a nice piece of music. |
