Our Hearts and Prayers go out to those serving over there.... My 20 year old son ..is being deployed to Irac in Jan. to relieve the 3rd or 4th I.D. He is part of the 25th I.D. stationed in Hawaii....

Jean-michel Jarre....synth generated tunes from the late 70s and 80s.....great ambience, and, just for trippin' tunes..... you can find examples on KaZaA......

I hope you enjoy your Fortes' as much as I do... I still think theres only one better .....the big daddy itself.....IMHO

I am still learning and exploring new smooth fusion-jazz rock: try Diana Krall, especially her newly re-mastered “Stepping Out,” Patricia Barber, Holly Cole, Norah Jones (“Gonna Be Great, 'cause She Got Eight’), new kd lang, Cassandra Wilson, Bob James, Chuck Leob, Tom Scott, Al Jarreau, Michael Franks, Spyra Gyra, Simply Red, Grover Washington Jr. and reference quality jazz samplers from Stereophile magazine, DMP, Chesky and Reference Recordings. Find thee a used CD exchange store where you can listen to music before buying and where you can return them if you don’t like them. These stores are pleasantly addicting! ---------------- Colin..If your interested in the newer smooth jazz..try some artists and bands like ...Fattburger...The Rippingtons..Craig Chaquico...Jeff Golub...Return to Forever...Just to name a few... These are pretty much Guitar oriented... But... there are a lot more bands and artists out there... I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one here that listens to, and apreciates this music!.....

I know this is gettin away from the original question...but ...back in the mid 80s I did some recordings of the band I was playin in at the time...with My Teac X1000rbl..(using DBX noise reduction and EE tape and two mics )...and the playback of the tape sounds Just like the place we were playin'..If you Close your eyes ..you could swear you were there...(klipsch speakers help) Sa far as I'm concerned ..that is the goal of music reproduction... to sound like the original performance... There are vinyl discs that can sound like the original...and there are CDs that can do the same thing... I guess its a matter of preference...

Supertramp...Cannonball...on vinyl (of course)

The Incredible(sp) Mr Limpit...Don Knotts..saw that one week or two ago..still enjoy it....

kinda reminds me of my dog when he gets to go BYE-BYE!!!!!!!lol

What Would I like For Christmas??? Well....It would be that Manely Stingray (Thats a beauty isn't it?????) or A 4BX-DS....The old RG-2 is due for an upgrade......

A CD for example, nobody would give a craploa about then, but because they cost so much women just swoon over them. Why? It is a rock ladies, a chunk of black coal that has over time hardened and turned clear. Woo Hoo. ---------------- Then why..oh..why don't they go ga-ga over some real nice stereo setups ???? Some cost about just as much!!! must be a guy thing........

Where in michigan do you guys live????? Just curious..........

---------------- joshnich on 10-18-2003 posted... Actually that is why I started the thread ...to find some new music. I dont listen to the radio much but I read a fair bit but still, finding something new is hard. all to often I fall back into listening to old favs...not that there is any thing wrong with that. But for me there is a great joy in finding something new - that I actually like! josh ---------------- Have you ever heard of "Jeff Golub" or "Mark Antoine"?? they're a couple of Contemporary jazz guitarists... I don't know what kind of music you normally listen to...but ...give them a try!

I'm sorry to hear the Cubbies lost... I really wanted to see someone put the Yankees in their place and what a better team to do it........the Marlins were a bought team...the Cubs made it through sheer sweat....and that counts for a lot IMHO.....
