Alan, posting that recipe is really not fair. I just finished dinner and reading it made me hungry all over again! Colter, sounds like awesome ketchup will keep my eye our for it.

Actually Dodger, you're the only real one on this forum. The rest of us were created by a very sophisticated computer program at the Federal Reserve in order to lure real live people int purchasing items that will keep the economy going forward, backwards, sideways, whatever we feel like doing that month. Most peopole get sucked in here by our various ruses, spend all their money and when the sherif shows up in front of the door to auctin off their house, they figure it out and leave. Apparantly, you must have deeper pockets than most.

Not tryng to hijack the thread but I've got a Pioneer 563A SACD/DVDA DVD player and I was wondering if any of the mods talked about for the Philips would also work for the Pioneer. So far I'm only marginally impressed with the Pioneer.

Forget the politics, you can't go wrong with Heinz. Burgers etc. but I wouldn't think of making a shrimp coctail sause with anything elese.

Until you guys finish designing the new T-shirt I know how you can get one for free!

Colter, excellent point on libraries I use mine religously, but only for books because the selection of cd's in my library (I'm not making this up) consists solely of marching tunes from military bands. Rick, I've also got a line on the hair that comes in the spray can. We can spray some on and hop in Colter's hot tube with the babes, just remember to keep you head above water. Ear, you've obviously been wired up to one of your subs too long

You know Michael, what brought me to this Forum was a renewed interest in music not gear. I found that half the time my system was just sitting there. I bought some music and I realized my system could use some punching up. So I climbed on the gear ladder, but promised myself that any new equipment had to have equal or thereabouts dollars spent on music to go with it. Then I realized with thousands of people here who love music we had what essentially an untapped resource. Think about it, although this is a gear site, there are contanied within these virtual walls perhaps one of the better music vaults in the land. I'm trying to tap into this for not only myslef but for all of us. I also tracking down a wharehouse full of Popiel Pocket Fishermanm so stay tuned!

I second Nightwish. Also try some Concrete Blonde.

That's right folks a free Klipsh TV shirt. Impress your friends and the ladies will swoon when you strut down the street in this very cool fashion item. What's that you say: "Thebes, tell us more, how do I win?" Well it's really very, very simple. All you have to do is stop by Entertainmnet/DVD's, Music etc. and share a music recommendation with your fellow members in our ongoing weekly thread "Members Weekly Music Recommendations" Each posted recommendation only (in other words not general chit-chat) is assigned a number, at the end of the month a number is drawn at random and a t-shirt awarded. After all, what's the sense of owning the finest speakers in the world, buying all that fancy gear and having nothing to play on it. One thing for sure you can count of the music being well recorded and running across something suitable for all musical listening tastes. I've bought over 20 cd's based on musical discussions in this Forum and have not been disappointed, so join in the fun. To tell you I mean business, we have a winner for August. The envelope please and the winner is SCOOTERDOG His recommendation was "Absentia" by Porcupine Tree, Rock, CD in August 2nd weekly thread. Congratulations Scooterdog. Plese PM me with your shipping info and shirt size. Well, what are you standing around for! Run ,don't walk down to DVD/Music. You could be next!

I love that song. I thnk he actually wrote it for Jonette Nopolitano, the lead singer of Concrete Blonde. You should also hear Don Henley's version of it. Check out my comments in this weeks Memeber Music Recommendations thread down in Entertainment/DVD Music

Once again I'm back with our ongoing effort to share music with all our friends on the forum. Guildelines are simple: name of singer/group, name of alblum, type of alblum (cd,lp etc.) genre as best you can (ie jazz,rock etc.) Don't be relucant to offer up a few words and back and forth is also welcome. I'll start things going with: Tower of Song, Songs of Leonard Cohen, various artists, cd, rock A tribute album to Canada's finest singer/poet it's well recorded and features artists such as Don Henley,Elton John, Billy Joel, Tori Amos, Sting with the Chieftans, Susan Vega, Bono and Willie Nelson. I'm not a great fan of tribute albums but in this case, with the exception of a couple of cuts this cd is pure listening pleasure. With respectful and intriguing renditions of the poetic work of a master. Don Henley's version of "Everybody Knows" alone is worth the price of the cd.

A masterpiece with a catchy tune too! I won't reinterate what I just posted about musicians becoming poetry in Ray's other Pie thread, but I do want to echo your own appreciation for this song. Some music I like just for the music and could care less what the words are, or mean. Some songs, like this, I listen to for the words. Nice post Gil.

Excellent posts Ray and of course, I join with you in expressing total confusion and lack of understandng of his lyrics on this song. Some lines like "blinded by light" seem to snap into foucs for me and some are just wierd, too obscure, or the result of a man's mind seemingly hooking up words with thoughts, feelings in an almost random order. One of the things I like most about some of the rock that grew up in the 60's and 70's is the transformation taking the musician from a singer to a poet. Springstein could be described as a poet of and for the working man. Plus he's a hell of a rocker. Another poet/singer that I really like is Leonard Cohen a gravelly voiced bard whose writings invoke beauty at almost every turn, religous musings, harsh and soft charechterisations of persons and of course, lots and lots of sex. If you are into lyrics the best of these folks evoke politics, social issues, meanings of life, the beauty that surronds us, the dark side of our souls and the emotional aspects of love and life. Much better then your tired old love songs which seems to be the grist for the mill of almost all of music of any genre.

Chuck, can't argue with that. Thought it would be fun but maybe your right and there weren't enough of us around to play with it all weekend.

Chuck, you've got a great memory but the idea was to string it out with people tossing in a line or two until the song was done. Gil, wonderfull posts, I enjoyed reading them very much. Ok let's try this again with a great song from The Band. Remember just a line or two of the actual song and then pass it along: Virgil Cain is the name and I worked on the Danville train..... Heck, let's go for a twofer. Here's the first line from that early rock classic Ballad of Thunder Road: Let me tell the story, I can tell it all About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol....

Oh,oh. When Daddy's comin up the driveway I'm going down the byway. Sounds like I need a little traveling music.

I see Rigma lives in Nashville so maybe there'll be some audio in the mix or quitar and amplifier tubes. Unfortunately I'm not much help on this one.

In Friday's Washington Post classified's there's an add for Klipsch Cornwall II, exc. cond., unfinished birch cabinent $700. He also lists a Nagamichi TA-3, high def tuner/amp w.remote control, perfect conditon for $300. Phone number is 703-470-6260.

Well we are at my friends farm. Tickles is off riding a pony and for some reason Tawny wants to brand a calf. The pig is roasting nicely and we should have some craklin to munch on real soon. I'm running low on tunes though so I need some more help. There's a couple of hundred people milling around and the second kegs already been tapped. People out here get a mite snappish when they can't wash down their beer with a little country music so let's go.

You're wearing a cowboy hat give me a tune. Ps Pictures are difficult, but I'm working on it.

Certain individuals died in a plane crash. Won't name names because, hopefully others will provide the answer. Lyric contiues: And good old boys...
