I don't have Grahame's 'this is head-case' meme... But this is HC!
I don't think that you would regret getting the S with it's additional features. It really does seem to be setup for getting the best of a pour over.
I cannot advise too much. I use this for my espresso...

A Charlie Brown Christmas (Remastered & Expanded Edition)
by Vince Guaraldi (1965)https://album.link/i/1440948781
So I have pretty much figured out that I don't equate Christmas music to Christmas - but to winter weather. And listening to Vince makes me happy...

Just so good to listen to. I have not done a deep dive into what is said, but initial impressions are rewarding.

Kind of the reason we need artists - they think differently...

All The Young Dudes
by Mott The Hoople (1972)https://album.link/i/155712973
Example:
Mott and the Young Dudes.. I really enjoyed this album.. I liked the 70s groove rock that they were putting out there. Yet this was another band like Thin Lizzy that I knew by name, not by songs. I have many songs attached to them now, and I am happy about that.

^^ Thanks... Although it got me thinking of a music survey. 🤓
My standards for this piece have been:
- Berliner Philharmoniker / Herbert von Karajan
- Boston Symphony / Munch
- The London Symphony Orchestra / Josef Krips
- Chicago Symphony / Sir Georg Solti
- Orchestra Of St. Luke's / Michael Tilson Thomas
Pretty much the same list for the 7th Symphony as well (probably my fav just ahead of the 3rd). But that could change.
I have not listened to the Szell.. yet. I think that the internet catalog is too big for me to do a complete survey of the Eroica, But maybe a review of top recordings in context to the Szell. I will ponder.

Brothers And Sisters
by The Allman Brothers Band (1973)https://album.link/i/1455534876
Example:
I started out this album a little disappointed with the opening track. Not bad, just not much there. Then it rolled into Ramblin' Man which I always liked, but it is a good tune, not a great one for me. From there on the album just keeps building on itself, by the time that I got to the 7.5 minute version of Jessica (above), I was all in. With the lovely coda of Pony Boy at the end. Happy to have this locked into my memory as a good album.

Sad - I have some of his flour for making bread right in my cabinet, ready to use. I will have to make a loaf for him. -- I met him once at one of the bread gatherings that I use to be apart of. Very nice, and really ran the company the way that I think that most should. Owned by the people. -- https://www.bobsredmill.com/employee-owned

What are you listening to Part the Third

Example:
Some fresh music from last month from a new Artist for me. I really like the heavily influenced Jazz playing and the overall writing. And I forgive the 'no scrubs' cover.
