| CSNY Live 1974 NOBODY sings as well at 70 as they do at 30 or 40--it's natural physical degradation. Range and flexibility decline. For some (McCartney, Fogerty) it's a little and for others it's a lot. Other "maturation" factors can actually result in an improv... | |
| How Much Does Your Favorite Band Cost? Well, this explains the obscene price of tickets. I refuse to support this outrageous practice (well, maybe once a year I"ll go to a "must-see" show).The same goes for sports. Live entertainment is way over-priced. | |
| Interesting bilind testing of Stradivarius Violin Schubert,I'll wager that there wasn't a great deal of choice of syrup in the USSR during David's lifetime.There are Strads that, history aside, have less value because they are lesser instruments. | |

There are more top-shelf violins, guitars, etc. being produced now than ever before. Heifetz and Elman did not have a lot of choices when it comes to ... | |
| Porgy and Bess recommendations? I know nothing of the complete opera. There's an interesting record of Ray Charles and Cleo Laine doing selections. It gets rave reviews (I haven't heard it in years, need to give it another spin). | |

| Want Nice table radio cd player to replace bose Cambridge Soundworks always had a decent knock-off of the Bose so you might check their website. The company was founded by Henry Kloss of Advnet, KLH and AR. | |

I had always read "well, the players can tell the difference and prefer the work of the old Italian masters."What needs to be stressed is that these instrum... | |
| It's official, there's nothing weirder than... Sorry for your experience, but it made for a good post and it may save others from a similar fate.

| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll Hot Tuna ARE, not were--still out there doing it and doing it well. | |
| Hot Tuna Saw them in NYC '71 and Austin '72 (besides a later tour ten or so years ago). Jack and Jorma are just great, I still love the early Tuna stuff and the early Airplane stuff.Supposedly Grace Slick joined the Airplane because she was so taken with J... | |
