Funny @Mossy bottom I remembered that "Taboo" lp you posted the other day. The one w/the volcano on it. Had to chuckle. You muist be ancient! 😂 😂 😂 MY parents had it. j/k j/k They did though. I thought it was different but good in it's own way. I was too busy jammin on Motown! lolol
@GWSmith Walter is great. He lives almost next door to a local guy I grew up with. He moved outta Duckburg to Texas for some reason years ago. Lives almost next door to him. He brought Walter back to Duckburg with him for our Bratwurst Festival when his parents were alive. lol The twist was the guys dad was a dentist and he worked on Walter's choppers for free. Met him several times when he was up here w/Jerry. That was 50 years ago prolly. Today Walter's son is playing with him. He stopped in Cleveland a couple years ago and I almost went up just to bust his balls and check on how his teeth were doing. hahahahaha I told Jerry and he said I should have told him and he would have hooked me up. Think I wouldn't? You KNOW I would. He's a great guy. Yea, kidney trouble or something darn near killed him but man he can bring the heat. That place he played held about 3k and they were sold out.
Jerry's into old Victrola's in a HUGE way. Some beautiful pics that I've seen. Guess he and Walter spend a lot of down time together now too. Jerry said he has some 76's Walter had made somehow to play on his old stuff. Crazy.
Just before heading to bed, caught your post Dave. Nice story on Walter! I was very much tuned in when he was on the liver transplant list. He almost passed away!! His wife was posting to all his fans to keep us all abreast on his progress. Happily, a doner came through for him and the rest is history! Have a great night everyone and thanks for the likes

I see what you did there Oh crafty one! That's a great lp.
Nuttin like sittin here and not being able to upload squat cause the post image site is playin games. Grrrrrr. Getting an ear full outta the 3 that just showed up. Blah,, Adrian Smith & Ritchie Kotzen, Gary Clark Jr's. "Jpeg Raw", and Walter Trout's newdrop "Broken."
Firt time thru the S&K lp left a lot to be desired. 2 tracks I enjoyed and the rest of it was slammed together imo. Left me hangin... Especially since the ones I ennoyed were the last two on side one. I'expected more creativity on side 2.
Smith/Kotzen is the self-titled debut album from rock musicians Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen, released on 26 March 2021.[1][2]
"Taking My Chances" was released as the first single from the album in December 2020.[3] It was followed by "Scars" in February 2021,[4] and "Running" in March.[5]
Now I wonder WHY it just dropped in the US? It wasn't a restock or maybe it was. Hmmmm...
HA HA, yeah, the inner sleeve was a given. Yes, Post Image being out takes a chunk out of our activities, but we keep on....... Soon as it comes back I will put up my session from tonight.
Walter Trout........I purchased from HIS website the last double LP set he recorded JUST before his health issues. Also have some of his others on CD. His organist reminds me of...... me LOL, we have the same Hammond Organ style and since I was in a top blues band, for my listening pleasure, I got hooked on Walter and his band since we were very similar in style.

Did you go with JJ EL-34 Blue Glass?
No I did not. I went with what my friends down the street (VIVA TUBES) had ready to ship. I HAVE bought from Tube Depot for my ham radio needs ( Trio of 811's) and from Penta Labs in CA. for a trio of 572-B's for my RF use. There are 9 tubes in the R8, so it was a big expenditure to change out the whole set. I am very pleased with the JJ. E NOT alternative to Russian OR Chinese.

Listening via the Superscope s212 which I moved to the listening room, powered by the Willsenton R8 tube rolled with complete set of JJ. Electronic valves including a quad of EL-34 outputs. Vintage vinyl via speakers of the same decade. Here is the LP and a vibe photo of the listening space with the new speaker arrangement. (Martin Logans under cover at the moment.)

Ok friends.......yes, been a while, but stopping by with some vinyl to spin. This time from the audio showroom. This album I bought NEW in 1978, I think played it only a couple times in that year. So, this is the first time spinning it again in all these many years!
Guess you could say the Rega is set, table cloth and all

Good evening friends, thanks for your likes and comments on the Mini Moog Voyager! I wanted to spin the Miles LP I had lined up, but it got late. I will do that soon, and K104 inspired me to spin the original ELP LP he played today, which I bought back when I was a senior in high school.
And I do have a Greg Lake SOLO LP in the cue too.
See you all soon. Cheers

Absolutely fabulous!!!
Thanks so much! Bought it brand new 20 years ago this year, really a joy to play.
Ok, taking a break from Miles for a bit to get dinner together and my ham radio net control duties, but will return with 'Kind of Blue' later this evening. Enjoy your music my friends! 🍷

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Hi there K104! And, you can't get that Keith Emerson Moog solo without one of these in your collection. Here is my 50th anniversary Mini-Moog Voyager signed by Robert Moog himself. One of only 100

Ok friends, short day at work, home from the market and such, time to enjoy some Miles! This LP was from a local used LP store, I could not resist at only $6 ! I believe this is an ORIGINAL pressing, quiet, scratch free for the most part. Side A ready to go.
