In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later

horace silver has died
RIP Mr. Silver. Thanks for all the great music ! "Song for my Father" is a classic. Just ask the boys from Steely Dan who stole Horace's opening notes.

An audiophile in Chicago .....

An audiophile in Chicago .....
Thanks a lot guys. Music Direct has moved to a new warehouse, and does not yet have any listening rooms or retail space. I want to stay in the downtown area, so I won't go to Quintessence or Holm Audio. But, the guys at MusicDirect suggest that I ...
