| Dick's Picks on Vinyl I admittedly am very picky about which GD recordings I'll invest in. Much of it has to do with the recording quality as well as the playlist. There were a number of CD's in the DP catalogue which left me unimpressed due to recording issues. What c... | |
| How much do you appreciate Boccherini's music? Considering that there were so many people in Boccherini's life that died, it's remarkable that he was able to keep on writing great pieces. I would make the radical assumption that there were various times in history where he was celebrated more ... | |
| Amy Winehouse - Lioness There is a UK box set of Amy Winehouse that I spotted at FNAC in Belgium and it contains a number of bonus tracks as well as 'Frank' and 'Back in Black'. AS far as making comparisons and I'm not saying that anyone is making comparisons but a gift ... | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings There is only a difference of 8 years between the age of Sergei Rachmaninoff and Bela Bartok yet their composing styles seem worlds apart. If your digging into the Rachmaninoff catalogue, the piano trios are nice but often overlooked. The copy I o... | |

| Top 5 Classical recordings If early music is of interest, then I personally would choose to study early composition styles and their locations of origin. The French did not write in the same way as the Germans or the Italians. When I took music history back in the day, Greg... | |

| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? Yes, admittedly I have stretched this paragraph to its limits. I never said I was perfect. | |
| Magnum Dynalab Tuner Thanks Bgordonr, I almost agree with you completely. I bought a new Ayre QB9 DAC about 7 months ago because it just sounded so good for the price and because I saw myself using iTunes on a regular basis. I'm totally glad today that I made that cho... | |
| Magnum Dynalab Tuner We have a good but not great 24 hour classical radio station in town and I listen to it fairly often. The best times to listen is when live radio is simulcast from the BBC Proms, Symphony Cast, etc... I have 2 projects on the table, first being a ... | |
| Magnum Dynalab Tuner Thanks Polk432, Magnum Dynalab will upgrade my gold faced MD90 to an MD90t for $800.00 but I'm still wondering if I should shell out a little more cash for a higher upgrade. | |
| Best recorded rock song ? One of my top favorites is 'Unbroken Chain' on the Grateful Dead's album 'From the Mars Hotel'. This song immediately came to mind since it was only done live a couple of times. To paraphrase Bob Weir' explanation as to why it's never performed li... | |
| Jon Lord Deep Purple I liked Jon Lord's contribution to the band more than what Ritchie Blackmore did. My favorite song is off the 'Come Taste the Band' record called 'Getting Tighter' and features Tommy Bolin on guitar. I really believe that Jon Lord served as the br... | |
