| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog Thanks. I will give it a listen. Any particular recording? | |
| Amazon Selling Used CDs Advertised As New @93rubyz But when I buy used CDs, I expect them to be of the condition stated. That has been the case for most purchases with only a few exceptions. Same here, which Is why I always double-check with sellers now. I got really tired of having... | |
| Adios Flaco @bigtwin Same here. That was a terrific group! | |
| Who is your favorite instrumentalist or instrumental group? @bdp24 Are you familiar with Will Ray’s solo albums? I recently picked up "Invisible Birds" and am crazy about it. I expected great guitar playing, which he delivers, but I had no idea he was also such a good vocalist. This is mostly in a Coun... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog You’re welcome. I’d certainly agree that some songwriters are more poetic. I’d also agree that there would’ve been some sort of change in approach to songwriting in the 60’s/70’s without Dylan, but who can say what that would have ... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries If anyone says I failed to list all of Dylan’s influences, they are of course, correct. Jazz, Vaudeville, Bluegrass, Singing Cowboys, Urban Blues, Country artists in addition to Hank, Gospel are some others, not to mention poets and novelists. . .... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister Thanks -- too bad about the SQ issues. @audio-b-dog Was he given the award for poetry? If so, I’d agree with you. I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, he’d received it for songwriting. It’s a (in my opinion) popular misconception t... | |
| "I Trust My Ears" Yes, @devinplombier, this is can be very tricky, indeed. I don’t anticipate (because I started in this hobby so late), I’ll ever accrue the skill/experience that our friend @ghdprentice describes, so I’ll continue to only purchase gear I can dem... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog I think I remember seeing the film. The lovers commit suicide at the end, right ? Sometimes I want to hear music that reconnects me to youthful passions. Sometimes not. @mahgister That 5 minute video was very interesting. Look... | |
| I find myself changing direction, in a way....... @mrdecibel Last night I watched a live Hellecasters video on YouTube, followed by a live Joan Armatrading video (both recorded in Germany, as it happens). I enjoyed the heck out of both. My tv is not run through my 2 channel sound system. Sonics... | |
| Who is your favorite instrumentalist or instrumental group? I don't just listen to Jazz... The Hellcasters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jXsD7K65PA | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog For those who have said they do not enjoy Beethoven, I am posting his most lyrical symphony, his 6th, Pastorale. Very nice. I wonder if it's available as a standard redbook CD. Will look... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister At this stage of my life (retired), I’m a hermit, too! And I'm not getting any less introverted as I age. ;o) It’s an hour’s drive to the closest musical venues but I can’t bring myself to pay the ticket prices these days. |
