| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued Why the obsession among the Hard Rock/Metal genres with themes of pain, death, fear, insanity, etc? I simply do not relate. I don’t know if Richie Kotzen qualifies as Hard Rock but I like this a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkKBcEV75WE ... | |

| JAYS Audio transport upgrade? @larseand You’re asking about upgrading cdt2mkll to cdt2mklll, right? THIS: https://www.tekaudiospecialties.com/product-page/mk3-upgrade-kit Ask Todd at TEK Audio. He is a straight shooter. | |

| For fans of John McLaughlin and Mahavishnu Orchestra @simonmoon Thanks for the suggestion! @pryso FYI: I didn't expect you to have an answer. | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @bdp24 From what I’ve seen on the forum so far, you’re the ideal candidate. You seem to know/care more about the genre than anyone on the forum. I second the nomination ! ! ! | |
| For fans of John McLaughlin and Mahavishnu Orchestra @pryso What I don’t understand is why a box set of live M.O. performances has never been released. As far as I know, all that’s officially available is the concert in Central Park. Surely, more shows were taped, given their popularity at the tim... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters I think we need an ongoing Americana discussion thread, comparable to the "Jazz for Aficionados" thread ! Here's a link to that NRPS recording @larsman mentioned... not exactly a mellow hippie song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZXmj6KjK2I | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @ezwind What I mean to say was, from what I learned from Rick Beato's interview with Skunk Baxter about the instrument, playing pedal steel while high on psychedelics sounds nigh impossible! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jaym759 Wow -- lucky you! I grew up in the lower Hudson Valley (Middletown) but was too young to drive at that point. At least for me trying to put words to non-verbal experiences is challenging I don’t think this comes easily for anyone. ... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @asvjerry 'Survivors' Guilt'? A bit, but happy to not have to start all over.... As long as you appreciate your good fortune, no reason to feel guilty! I live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, otherwise known as the "Gold Country" and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos I would dare to say that relation between artist, or his work and audience is often not related Hmm. . . I’m not so sure, now that I’ve had more time to reflect. I found performing equally rewarding and frustrating and for me, that... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @asvjerry I considered asking how your fared during Helene, but then it occurred to me that, depending upon your experience, you might prefer not to be reminded of it. @zlone Thanks for the tip! No Depression magazine is another. | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @asvjerry If you live near Asheville, I imagine there will be opportunities to hear them play live. Check their website. I pretty much always regard the inclusion of pedal steel as a positive! They've released about half a dozen recordings. I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jaym759 Sorry for my careless sentence construction. I meant the greatest reward/top goal for some players, including me, in playing in a group is accessing that state wherein "the music plays the band". There’s a sense of being propelled along... |
