Who R U?

A while back Garfish mentioned he lked the idea of getting to know some of us better.As no one has started a thread like this before I will take the plunge.I have been involved in and read many heated exchanges here in AudioGon.I hope no one attacks me for this thread saying "who cares about you,this is audio" Anyway,Im 45 and live in W.N.Y.I have never been married but have a music loving 11 year old daughter who lives with me.I have been a nurse for 20 years.Before that I was a Navy Corpsman for several years.I recently became engaged (first time) to a beautiful 30 year old music loving woman.At my age a 30 year old is a keeper and I have never been happier!! My other interests??Im into vinyl,who has time for anything else??

I have that CD, and I think it's cool too! You know what it is ? Days of the New is a previously unsuheavy metal band that went acoustic. Heavy metal is characterized by power chords played over minor keys. That's why the music has that way-cool yet slightly disturbing sound to it. Alice in Chains is another band that does this. If you like DOTN, you will probably like AIC's acoustic album 'SAP'. AIC's MTV Unplugged is good too.

Tim,for some reason I thought it was the first release.Yes,the first song is "Flight response"I loved this CD on first listen.As I stated above,I have a CD-R copy.The sound quality is quite good but Im wondering how much better a "Store Bought"CD sounds.Also,do you know if this is avaliable on vinyl?

Another heavy metal great is the Metallica Black album. (you probably own it) Something kind of funny is that Nothing Else Matters is actually a rework of a nylon-string classical guitar song called 'Romancia'. I remember when I was learning it, I stopped: "Haven't I heard this somewhere ?".

I'm not sure if its available on vinyl, I'd love to hear it though, I will be looking for it now, AIC unplugged is the best sounding AIC album IMO, all their songs actually sound better(to me) when unplugged. I just remembered David if you like AIC have you listened to Jerry Cantrells Album "Boggy Depot" thats a great album too. More mellow than AIC but same sort of feel.
