  1. "As much as I may think myself a man, my youthfull braddigio of maleness has long since departed and I try as hard as I can to be considerd simply as a person. There is nothing in the aspect of a man that you will not find in a woman and sophomoric humor aside (my speciality) we stand tall in our own personal regard only in relationship to those around us. Human are a selfish lot, individually. If left only to ourselves we would be a lazy, shiftless immoral slugs indeed. We only shine in how we deal with and help each other, we only excel with help from others, we only learn because someone taught us to listen. We can gut it out because someone showed us the way, self-pity is drowned when we look outward and around us. I could go on but I think you can take the point."

    Well put. A famous writer (can't remember whom) once said that you never truly grow up until your father dies. On the other hand, Peter Fonda recently stated that he wants to be an eight year old forever. The truly retarded are the ones who are "selfish...lazy, shiftless immoral slugs." Basically, just live up to the responsibilities you take on, and have the wisdom to know how much you can handle.

  2. I went with one simply because it was so ground breaking(not to mention full of great tunes). Without the first selling as well as it did, there may have never been any more, and Zep would be just a distant memory, like Cream(lol). Now I am seeing kids my son's age and younger wearing Led Zeppelin t-shirts, just like back in the seventies. You don't see Beatles t-shirts(maybe for licensing reasons)or even many Hendrix or Doors....Plus, the cover art, while not all that original, is graphically so cool.

  3. Now, Jeff, I'm starting to understand HOW you are able to play so loud. If I did that the neighbors would be at my door with torches and pitchforks inside three minutes. Lawyers get away with more because they know the law and most others do not.

    Imagine standing in fog near a cliff. You know the cliff is somewhere near, but you don't know exactly where the edge starts. So what do you do? You stay away from it. A lawyer is like someone who can see through the fog and knows exaclty where the edge of the cliff is all the time. That means a lawyer can go right over and stand right by the edge without falling.

    Some lawyers' behavior and personalities can appear risky , rude, inappropriate, offensive, and dangerously aggressive to non-lawyers because of this difference in knowing just what the limits are of the law (as it pertains to social interactions, business transactions, interpersonal relationships, etc.).

    Jeff, if you will post your mailing address I will send you my SPL meter post haste. Then someday soon we can plan for me to come by and meet you. Like, what do I need with a SPL meter for my SETs? As far as I can compute my LaScalas have yet to see a one watt peak.

    Regarding lawyers it is an inside job. By and large they are the ones who make the laws, and do so in such a way as to baffle most outsiders(those without the union card i.e. law degree). Now imagine standing near a cliff, and there is a lawyer lurking nearby. You either have to hire it or you might as well jump off anyway. (insert smiley winky face here)

  4. My self I don't need sheilding with a lcd tv. I think you only need it with crt tv's.

    I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that shielding is necessary unless you have DLP. Or, of course, front projection to a movie screen.

  5. could shock you both ......[:)]

    Ooooh, wait .....3 drummers together .....???

    It's called a percussion ensemble at that point, and I'm sure the wags in here have other designations in mind....

  6. MM,

    You have asked an impossible question, since the category includes quite a bit of music with some very different styles etc.

    My suggestion would be to visit your local library and check out various CDs that they have. Try and get as much variety as possible (small combo, larger emsembles, vocals) and be sure to get selections from the the different eras.

    This will get you started. It is an enjoyable journey.

    Good Luck,

    -Tom

    This is probably the best answer overall, but in the spirit of suggestions:

    Time out---Dave Brubeck

    Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall

    Return to Forever---Chick Corea

    Any Count Basie big band

    Any Dizzy Gillespie/Charlie Parker

    Dang! Already out of room and no Miles Davis....

  7. My Crwnells rock too.

    Nice score on the CORNWALLS! They were named CORNWALLS because they can be placed in either a corner or against a wall. Maybe that'll help you remember.[;)]

    What other equipment do you own?

    Thanks for the info. I always had this negative impression that PWK was a closet anglophile. I will sleep better tonight.
