  Thanks @bdgregory, I hadn't seen this performance before. What a voice!    
Top 10 Live Albums
  A bunch of my fave live albums have already been mentioned (some multiple times), so I had to dive a little deeper to come up with new ones. They are:   - The Band: Live At The Academy Of Music 1971. The Band's Rock Of Ages 2-LP set has been ... 
The Legendary ? Infinity IRS V
  Paul McGowan sold his pair of modified/updated IRS V's earlier this year.    
Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
  Mose Allison. He was a songwriter/singer/pianist whose fans include the likes of Pete Townshend. His style was mix of Jazz and Blues, and he had a very distinctive sound and feel.    
Please explain mono
  The "Back to Mono" post by @russ69 is a reference to Phil Spector, who in the early-70’s had a batch of buttons made with that phrase emblazoned on them. There are pictures of Phil with John Lennon during the recordings of John’s Rock ’n’ Roll ...

Holy cow: Ringo produced by T Bone Burnett!
  Yep @slaw, the album is coming on LP and CD (and streaming I presume), I'm getting it on vinyl.   @mapman: No one was more surprised than I when Plant and Krauss teamed up. Looking back on it, I guess I shouldn't have been. I already knew Rob...

  Good point Stuart. One facet of learning to drum is limb independence, all four playing independently from each other (like rubbing your belly while patting your head, times two). I myself am impressed by piano players, who have to learn indepe...

  On the other hand Stuart, bass is the natural partner to drums. In the Crowell & Harris clip, the bass player is at the back of the stage with the drummer, right where bassists belong.    
Pop album that has stood the test of time
  @knownothing: I too am fortunate in having seen Rockpile in 1980. Three nights in a row, at The Country Club in Reseda California. Tickets were ten bucks! I also saw Little Village live, on a sound stage in North Hollywood at an industry-only ...

  Oops, Little Village, not Villager.

  @stuartk: Starting an Americana thread is a GREAT idea! I’ll be tied up with a coupla matters for a few days, but if no one else has started one by the end of the week perhaps I’ll give it a shot. For now, here’s a great performance by two Ame... 
Record Cleaning Machine ~ Ultrasonic vs. Rest
  @lewm: The HW-16.5 does NOT have a bidirectional motor, the HW-17 does. The 16.5 is roughly square in shape (width and depth being about equal), the 17 rectangular (the width considerably greater than the depth). Assuming you have the 17, you c... 
Pop album that has stood the test of time
  @knownothing: If you like the Little Villager album, make sure to grab a copy of John Hiatt’s Bring The Family album (unless you already have it). John was given carte blanche to use any musicians he wanted on the album, and chose Ry Cooder, Ni...
