| RIP. Johnny Barbata @soix is correct, Skip Spence was The Airplane’s drummer on their first album. He took off for Mexico with a coupla chicks without telling the group, and was mia for a few scheduled shows. They fired him, and he ended up playing rhythm guitar a... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. The Shaggs. 😉 | |
| Tube Amp recommendation for Thiel CS1.6 under $2k For low impedance loudspeakers there is only one tube power amp I would suggest: the Music Reference RM-200 Mk.2. The amp was designed specifically for low impedance loads, a job at which it excels. Do a Google search and read all about it. Rev... | |
| RIP. Johnny Barbata Oh man, Johnny was fantastic! Even Buddy Rich thought so. His technical playing is just subtle enough to pass unnoticed, but not by drummers. Give a new listen to his playing on The Turtles’ "Happy Together", "Elenore" and "She’d Rather Be Wit... | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." @hifiguy42: Love Wayne Hancock! An old bandmate of mine (Paul Skelton) plays guitar on Wayne’s debut album, Thunderstorms And Neon Signs. Wayne made his appearance during the CD era (1995), but a couple of his albums are available on LP for you... | |
| Have a reflective Memorial Day. One of my two sisters served in the Navy, and won’t let me forget it. Just kidding. 😉 She didn’t join until 1976, so had no concern about being sent to Vietnam. Her boyfriend had joined back in 1968, and was of course sent there. He wasn’t the... | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." @yogiboy: I have two copies of The Everly Brothers Songs Our Daddy Taught Us album on LP, but not an original. I have yet to find one of those, but have it in Rhino Records and Ace Records (UK) pressings. I’m an Everlly Brothers fanatic, with ... | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." Sure @stringreen, though I think of him as Mr. DeMent. 😊 | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." More of the Charlie Starr interview with Otis Gibbs. Amongst other topics, Charlie talks about the Starday Records era of George Jones. While on Starday, George was much more a Honky Tonk singer, recording "White Lightnin'"and "Why Baby Why". Y... | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." I can understand that @stuartk. I'll bet it's because of the production by Billy Sherrill: too syrupy, with all those massed strings. George's earlier stuff, when he was on Starday Records, isn't like that. George even did some Rockabilly, unde... | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." Another great duo are Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams. They have made three albums together, one very recently. All are full of excellent music making of the highest caliber. Larry served as Dylan’s road band leader, multi-instrumentalist... | |
| Comparing Rythmik F12 and F12G: Which is Better for Music and Movies? Good news: You should find that either will make you happy! The difference between the two is relatively minor. I suggest going on the AVS Forum (for Rythmik Audio) and AudioCircle (for GR Research) and read what current owners of both models ... | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." Oh yeah, I forgot to include Steve Earle. Iris DeMent too! Another great duo, this one more recently, was (Radney) Foster & (Bill) Lloyd. I could have included Lucinda Williams, but I don't think she is really a Country singer. Same with Ma... | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." Yep @hifiguy42, I figured so. I do have the Just Me And My Guitar album, on LP. The series of eight 2-LP chronologically-arranged Hank Williams compilations on Polydor are essential imo. I would like to add to your list Lefty Frizzell (a f... | |
| Crossovers? How do you evaluate if crossover is any good? @emergingsoul: Head over to YouTube and watch the GR Research videos by well-known crossover expert Danny Richie. In them you will learn ALL about crossovers. |
