Allan Songer Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I am. A lot.

AndyKubicki Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Well, glad you mentioned music! I have recently acquired 2 UK CDs and Stephane Grappelli & L. Sabramaniam CD. The UK CDs are Danger Money and a Live CD. I have had the first UK LP and CD (the LP is somewhat damaged) and just love that initial lineup of Bruford/Whetton/Holdsworth and Jobson. In the two CDs following the first one they lost Bruford and Hodsworth, only replacing Bruford with Bozzio. I suppose I held out on getting them for all these years for that reason, but there are some excellent compositions there as well. The Grappelli/Sabramaniam disk is Conversations, and it's a really nice blend of Grappelli's jazz styled violin with Dr. Sabramanium's jazz-Indian style and some real nice music as a result. Also features joe Sample, Frank Bennett and more. The LP sounds great, though this one has those...what appears to be undissolved pellets causing little bumps on the record, so I really hesitate to play that.

garymd Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Last couple of days: John Martin, Solid Air Old And In The Way, Breakdown Loius Armstrong, Jelly Roll Grateful Dead, Reckoning Grateful Dead, Dick's Picks # 18 Iowa, 1978 Just picked up a couple Bill Monroe cds today which I haven't yet listened to. Can't wait. Probably not too many bluegrass fans here but if you like to listen to great musicians you should give it a try. I can offer some suggestions if anyone is interested.

Gregorius Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Last nights playlist. Lou Donaldson- Sassy Soul Strut Blue Note LP Ella Fitzgerald- Gershwin Song Book Vol 1 Verve LP Thanks to all on this forum who have given me recommedations for new music to sample, I would have not tried many of these without your advice. Gary, I used to hate bluegrass, but I was exposed to some old-timers who have been playing for 50+, and they are marvelous musicians. It took awhile to get used to a banjo, but it really adds to bluegrass music. I have about 30-40 cd's now that are in my rotation. I seem to listen to music in cycles. Regards, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Greg ---------------- Greg, Do you have any Old & In The Way cds? Garcia played a mean banjo before ever picking up a guitar. It's a unique bluegrass sound. Sort of a mix between bluegrass/folk/rock. Includes: Peter Rowan, Jerry Garcia, Vasser Clemments, David Grisman and John Kahn. They got together for 1 tour in the spring/summer of '73. Currently 3 live cds available. I also have some bootleg tapes that are pretty good. They're some of my favorite cds of all-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregorius Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Gary, No I mostly have the old-timers, Bill Monroe, Stanley Brothers, Flatt and Scruggs, a few compilations, along with some bands that appear each year at a local festival. I also have all three of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Cd's (Will the Circle Be Unbroken) as well as a couple of Bela Fleck. I will look for those titles that you mentioned.

garymd Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Greg, Get the Breakdown CD and the original self-titled with the cartoon cover. You'll love them. Also, one of my favorite Bill Monroe CDs is Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys Live Recordings (195? to 196?). Has a blue cover and is outstanding. Peter Rowan played with the Bluegrass Boys as a child prodigy back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjohnsonhp Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I'm listening to a few new things I picked up --all over the map in sound. Norah Jones SACD -- can't get her to sound good yet on my system...need to drop the big Carver SS I think and hook the Dynaco up. THE FREEZE (lp)- boston hardcore from early 80's --"famous" from the THIS IS BOSTON NO LA compilation. American town is kinda pop. FRANK MARINO (lp)- Live nostalgic 70's concert sound DVORAK (cd)- From the New World (Sym. 9) WHITE STRIPES (CD)- one pop song like the BUZZCOCKS SWEET - a hits cd and one lp SUPER DELUXE - Via Satellite - my favorite discount bin CD (paid 50cents and I've been playing it in my car for a couple weeks) STRAY CATS - UK alternative album cover - I bought it for the alt cover and different song listing...like "RUMBLE IN BRIGHTON" LENNON - box set of alt takes (interesting having just watched the Beatles anthology SHOENBERG - yikes, this is as weird as I thought it would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word on when the gear is going to arrive ? What about the ying yang dang chang ??

mobile homeless Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Dean, go listen/watch The Replacments in the Eico thread and stop yer yammerin. Make sure it's full screen so you can see Tommy's new red shirt... Btw, for any interested, there is almost always one of those line stages on ebay at any given time, and for DIRT cheap as well. By the looks of it, it's probably the best linestage deal NEW for $250 ducats there is. I almost bought one to compare to the Pantheon but felt sheepish... Ole Jeff and I decided some things were better left untouched... Seriously though, you cant get any more for $250, especially in a 6SN7, tube rectified LS. I always consider buying one just to have as a backup, then come to my senses. The only negative is there is almost zero resale value due to the fact that it's so damn cheap, used (and no one knows what it is). Then again, for $250, you can almost throw the bastard away after use! Ok, perhaps not... kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkrop Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 No, but I've been listening to Musak lately and...Just kidding! Listened to some Sonny Rollins "Reevaluation, the Impulse years" and Robert Cray Band "Who's been talking" on LP last night. The Rollins was mint and the Cray was unrapped by me. Also listened to some of a Taj Mahal LP, great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Yea that line stage is very tempting and that is why I keep asking if it arrived yet. They must of sent the darn thing by boat !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
