What concerts have your kids dragged you to?
In 1995, I took my 12 yo son and a bunch of his 12 and 13 yo friends (male and female) to see Dave Matthews Band. I was stunned at how great they were. Extended jams and very tight musicianship. Unfortunately, in 2005, they are still playing the s... 
Help me on a piece of music's art history....
Jsonic offers solid advice re: validating it. I'm not really sure what to tell you as far as how to tell for sure. If you know of a good printer in your area, one thing they might be able to help with is the age of the stock it's printed on. Circa...

As a followup, if, as a re-read your correction to the date, it has Finkel and Koplik on it and is the real deal, my guess of a rough estimate of worth is 275.00 - 400.00. If it is a mint first run maybe more. There was not a whole lot of memorabi...

Why do people write mean things about musicians
Most who post reviews here are not professionals. However we do have a right to express what we like and don't like from an artist. After all, it is our money that keeps the artists paid as well as making profit for the lable who signs them. Last ...

scoutmaster to super scoutmaster upgrade?
I took a slightly different route than the above. When I purchased the original Scout, I auditioned the SDS and the Walker Precision Motor Controller. The Walker, at 600.00 more than the SDS, was well worth the additional expense in terms of sonic...
