I ordered a DVD that contains this performance of Tic-Toc-Choc by Couperin, played by the relatively unknown great pianist Grigory Sokolov:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOJaKbDBmoQ (see comments on amazon.com -- http://www.amazon.com/Grigory-Sokolov-Live-Paris/dp/B0000T4U3Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1244158217&sr=8-2)

This piece was written to be played by harpsichords with 2 separate keyboards. Playing the 2 parts together on one keyboard is supposed to be "impossible." Not for Sokolov, though.

Seti,

That Big Latin Band is a keeper. The quality is very good for the time it was made, I still play it often.

Thanx, Russ

It is fun. The Spring Time For Hitler as a latin band combo cracks me up. A good friend met Mancini towards the end of his life and got this record signed. He said it was the only time they played that song.

I only listened to it once while doing something else and I was thinking it sounded kind of off, like overly compressed or something, it was the CD version but still kind of flat, have to listen again.

I usually hit my favorite used CD joint once a week, and there is lots of music out there at very good prices.

This is what I found yesterday:

Roxy Music - Stranded (and) Siren

Billy Squire - KBFH Live

Greg Lake - KBFH Live

The Tubes - The Tubes (MFSL)

J Tull - This Was - 2 disc 40th anniv coll

All for $20

I don't have any space left for any more speakers, but have made room for more music!

I got Chickenfoot also and like the album.

To me the recording was not very good quality.

Yep also picked up the Chickenfoot CD yesterday. On initial listen I downloaded the CD to my vehicle audio system( I have a Chrysler 300 that has a 30GB HDD) and on playback the system did not display artist name or track name like all the other CD's I have downloaded. It just listed it as a generic MP3 download. I think there have definately been corners cut to produce this CD. I have not had a chance to listen to it on the home system yet. All in all I thought the songs were pretty good. Not talking of audio qaulity here. Chad Smith-drummer is definately overlooked in this group, I thought he was pretty tight.
