Last week I did another DVD-Audio disc search. Spent hours looking at bands I'd never heard of, reading reviews of the recordings mostly in any format other than DVD-A and bought 2. The first is truly a gem! Its the Klipsch Tape Reissues, Vol II. The Joe Holland Band is recorded live. The DVD-A version is breathtakingly real. Ear Candy for a jazz lover! It's dynamic. The cymbals are perfection. Skin drum heads. Air sounds with the clarinet. All those evenings in bars listening to the real thing quickly come to mind, especially parts of Naw'lins. Sit back with your favorite evening beverage and enjoy!

Sinatra's system.....love the big screen!

Since we're talking about food and convenience, the wife just got back from the local store. She went to get 2 hot ham and cheese po-boys. She came back with some fried shrimp and catfish, plus the sandwiches great price on the fried stuff. The catfish was the same price.

Doing great Bored to tears but getting better and doing more everyday back to work on Tuesday

I agree.....sometimes I'll order a pizza after dinner just so I can have cold pizza for breakfast.

I am with you on that Yes, yes we are, we love our animals, proper heat and seasoning and there is nothing better.

One year when we grew alot of tomatoes I decided to make sauce. I never did it from whole peeled tomatoes only so I thought just cook it down ? Well what I did not know was if you cook it long enough until most of the juce/water is removed to about the consistency of a good sauce it gets really strong. It was good but very strong in flavor, a little more and i would have made tomato paste. It was good but almost concentrated. .

Thinking Oysters? Oh must be talking about the ones on either side of the back bone, nice. The chicken neck spaghetti sauce was derived from cooking the necks until the meat left the bones with little help. He described it to me as a delicacy, peasant dish that was not well known. Slow cooking of the sauce essential. Sister came close to cooking his recipes. I have tried over time. Another is his Muscatouli Italian sausage... Going to eat breakfast now.😊

cleaning up after the wild party dump the ashtray and take the used coffee cup to the sink. The neighbors did get a concert. We started with JeffBeck Live. I enjoyed it. Stuff the neighbors

This album is timeless for its beauty Recorded when this artist was 20 years old, and first released in 1961 Artist - Joan Baez Title - Volume 2 ( Self Titled ) This album is a remastered reissue On Vanguard VSD-2097 US release 1987

My kind of sandwich and...etc

This place has really good sandwiches, this is one ham and cheese sandwich 12" long and 2 1/4 pounds, $8, we each ate half.

Well a smoked fatty would be perfect for you, spaghetti with sauce wrapped in a ground meat casing. Like this but with different stuffing I just stole the pic, couldn't find one with spaghetti in it.

I guess that's why I'm not allowed in the deep end........I have no idea what that even means.

Spaghetti sandwiches here 😋 Okay I'm twisted...Cold Chili????? I love it

Up for sale are a pair of Oiled Oak Belles, 1987. Not sequential S/N, but close (sequential weeks?). In good shape. Crossovers replaced with ALK's. Second owner, I have had them for about 15 years. Well cared for. The pictures show the story. The speaker wires in the pics I will keep; I just didn't disconnect them. $2250.00 for the pair. Also for sale is a custom oiled oak subwoofer enclosure. This was created to complement the oak Belle look. It originally held Velodyne a 12" subwoofer. I subsequently put a cosmetically challenged R115SW in the enclosure. The sub functions as it should. The exterior had nicked edges and a damaged screen, There are 4 drawers remotes, etc. $500.00 OBO for the sub and enclosure. Any Interest?

Here's a trick my wife the canning guru uses when working with whole tomatoes.....Wash and core the tomatoes, place in freezer bags and freeze thoroughly. When ready to use, thaw the bags in the sink, and the tomatoes will give up a lot of liquid, and be easy to peel.

we got wings ... because they were cheap. Necks had to be free Dad always ate the neck and back. Years later, I found out about the "oysters"

Oscar had own trio... anyway Nice... love Louis

i’m too lazy to be vegan ... i wish i wasn’t; but, i’m too into convenience and that isn’t a convenient lifestyle.

I like Brewer's yeast and sea help on my popcorn...no salt needed...my vegan...ish years.

laughing seriously

Wheat Grass and Beet Root every other day... I still love MEAT.....

Yes. Yes, Yes.... I love MEAT....

Apparently he was wrong, your still alive. My grandfather lived to be 90 eating that every morning cooked in lard and smoking cigarettes. That said it was a cheeseburger fatty, so what the cardiologist will probably eat perfect, exercise and die from something to do with stress from his bills from his younger wife.

looks like a cardiologist’s dream. when my kid was about six years old and in the hospital, my wife & I went out to breakfast one morning. when we returned the doctor asked what we ate. I said eggs, sausage, and hash browns. He abruptly said, “You’re not going to live to see 40.”

how’s the recovery coming along?

Me too, cold anything with tomato sauce 😋 Cold pizza is the bomb

I love cold lasagna.

Dudes! All mediums have major drawbacks. And that's just the start. Then there is the whole recording process, or lack thereof. And that's just one aspect of this hobby. The real problem is that this hobby has too many fussbudgets involved in it. Music, at the end of the day, attracts us because of what it imparts... ...feeling. So let the feeling flow, put aside the fiddly bits for awhile , drop the needle, cue up the tape, click on the zeros and ones, or grab the nearest instrument, and when your eyes close focus on the feelings. Hell, I've never felt happier than when I'm badly and unconsciously whistling to myself a tune or even just some odd notes. It's all good brothers and sisters! Yup. That's right. Follow the Thebes philosophy and we may never need argue over audio again. But then again...

Absolutely... Dead is not Dead...Well maybe in this world it is... Moving on to other places after this world...Absolutely Yes 😉

can i still go to the coffee shop when i’m dead?

Along with the chicken's neck (which my Dad and I fought over) we also chewed and sucked on the feet. That was a very long time ago. Sound's yucky now but food was short and it tasted good. Nine in the family-nothing was wasted.

You did just fine.

Don't know if was right or not but I put them in boiling water for about 10 seconds then on a tray to cool, the peelings just slid off after that. I cooked about 25 and did what you said with the rest in freezer bags to use later. There was to much liquid with the fresh ones, freezing first could have helped. That was part of why I cooked the sauce so long which made it strong. I never canned any, just froe gallon bags and added to sauce at different times. Even now when making sauce I start with a gallon of sauce and a gallon of whole tomatoes, I like the pieces and thickness of the whole tomatoes. I need to remember that

Playing a mono for dj only album by The Cowsillls,Captain Sad and his ship of fools.Picked up 8 albums today at a fall festival and they all in very good t excellent condition.

I see what you mean. My boy is #58 and about to tackle the ball carrier.

Rebuilt a pair of Chorus I for another member a few years back. Toyed with the idea of using the mid horn from the II but was working on a budget. It would have been nice to try since we built the cabinets from scratch. I too prefer the front ports to the rear passive, but would assume the the tractrix horn would be an improvement. Sounded very nice when done.

Well I ended up not buying it because it didn't do exactly what I wanted it to do. It does allow you to use your phone as a remote through the PlayFi app....but that's it. You can't use the Amazon Music app to navigate the site like you can with Spotify. Basically, you can use it as a remote with your playlists but that's it......can't look for new/old music, artist info etc. The guy that was helping me out enlightened me that what I need/want is something like 'Roon'. Unfortunately Amazon music does not have a deal with Roon.....yet. Hopefully it will happen soon. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Dang... what?

Not picking on you but, I had too much to dream last nite...Still have one LP of their...coolish man

yeah, i kinda do

If there was one thing that could draw Derrick out, it's this.......missed you. Go Blue!

The wait is OVER! I now know what I have! Turntable looks great, runs but needs a new drive belt for sure then we'll give it a test run and see what happens. Hmmmm, I think I owe the UPS store that was used a BIG solid. Picked these up @ auction for $55. The auctioneer said they had the original boxes which was a plus as did the Thorens TD-160. Welllll, the turntable did but the speakers didn't so I must have begged well when I talked to them about shipping. Shipping? Well that's ANOTHER story but factored into the big picture I made out like a bandit. Shipped Tuesday and arrived here today. I posted the speaker pics a week ago in the Vinyl Record Spinning thread but had no clue since no tag pics. We all kinda had ideas what they were. MAYBE! We were ALL wrong! Sweet old pair of KG4's. I mean Klipsch for $55? Ya just CAN'T walk away from that! Yet to test run but no reservations, especially when the old guy that owned it had a stylus guard on the cartridge. Should be sweet for that lil college girlie of mine! Now WHERE is that stinking cat??? She's not gettin these! NOW where do I put them? Ugh!
