| Cd Storage I had a woodworking friend make a Shaker inspired cabinet that holds roughly 2,200 single CD jewel cases. He has built several CD/LP storage units in different configurations and sizes. Whatever you do, get something with room to grow your collect... | |
| Jazz Guitar Charlie Christian, of course. | |
| Just Talkin' 'Bout Itzhak One evening in 1980 or so I was flying out of Laguardia heading to Rochester, NY. Mr. Perlman was in at the gate in Laguardia, traveling alone evidently--no roadie, no road manager in sight. The plane was delayed and at one point he got up laborio... | |
| Cal audio difference btwn Tercet mk4 and Icon mk2 I can't answer your question directly as I'm only familiar with the Icon MKII (I really liked mine, but it had issues with its laser assembly, twice). You might want to query the folks at Approved Audio Service. They still repair CAL gear.Try: rep... | |
| California Audio Labs Master Series Fabio, I'm curious about how much better they are than the normal Alpha/Delta combo, and in what ways.Thanks. | |
| How many records do you own? About 1,400, predominately classical, but some terrific jazz and blues recordings. Used to have three times as many but gave most away years ago. I dumped B and C-quality recordings and performances mostly, nothing I was in love with. My wife, who... | |
| A "Unique" Voice... John Jacob Niles -- singer, folksong collector and composer: "I Wonder As I Wander," "Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair." Could go from baritone to counter-tenor in blink. | |

| A "Unique" Voice... Julie Miller, for sure. And at the other end of the spectrum, down in the gravel throated range witb Joe Cocker, how about Rev. Gary Davis and especially Blind Willie Johnson. | |
| Guitar Solos Mike Bloomfield's guitar breaks on Dylan's Tombstone Blues. Each one longer than the previous. His solo on Paul Butterfield's East/West is something to hear as well. | |
| A "Unique" Voice... Jimmy Dale Gilmore. High keening voice that I think is great, but which sends my kids scurrying from the room. | |
| A "Unique" Voice... Robin Holcomb, wife of saxophonist Wayne Horvitz. She has a fey and haunting voice that works well with her compositions, which are also otherworldly and haunting. Try her first CD on Nonesuch, "Robin Holcomb." If you like Iris, you'll probably li... | |
| Guitar Solos Amongst many others, Brian Jones (or maybe it was Keith Richards) on The Stones' version of "It's All Over Now," off their I think second LP. Short and crazy, all-over-the-map solo, with excellent internal logic. Makes me smile every time. | |
| Favorite Lesser Known Sax Players Has anyone said Budd Johnson, Booker Ervin or Charlie Rouse? | |
| What's yer favorite tubes? Aball, I enjoy the GE blackplates as well and currently have a pair in my bedroom system's little Jolida hybrid integrated and a several more in a drawer for spares. I've also enjoyed the Raytheon 5751 triple mica blackplates, which are different ... |
