Hmm, I just played it without really looking at what it was, and my thought was, 'Cool, a The Sundays tune I had not heard before.' Oh, it is a band I didn't know about that sounds like them, even better.

RIP Peabo Bryson... 75.. 😔

wait, is that just your neighbors garden? ” they are just growing wild honey.”

The Awakening by Ahmad Jamal (1970) https://open.qobuz.com/album/ej9qdgi86b2ma Example: Rich and meaty set..

Ouch.. -- from a published article (august 1981)

enjoy.

Because reasons... Speaking of friends of the thread. Way Out West by Sonny Rollins (1957) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0088807201473 Example: My first Sonny album I purchased, heavy vinyl from 1992 Analogue Productions. Always stuck. And lives in my queue rent free. I looked and I had three others in my queue, so they just moved to the top. RIP Sonny... 'n thx...

I had her new album in my queue and then this showed up. so Let X=X by Laurie Anderson (2026) https://open.qobuz.com/album/syta310h4wo50 Example - Just the album opener: Always a treat to have more Laurie.

Finally getting to this one, under a year - not bad. (since it is your birthday). --Copland: Fanfare for the Common Man, Appalachian Spring & Symphony No. 3 by Minnesota Orchestra (2012) https://open.qobuz.com/album/ip2njewvqsrsa I do wish for a high bitrate, but the performance and recording are first rate.

Cheers Rob -- Happy Birthday's -

Gemini says: Design & Build The "Basic" Aesthetic: "They look like the default headphones NPCs wear in a low-budget video game from 2017." The Fingerprint Magnet: "These headphones have a better memory for my oily fingerprints than I do for my passwords." The Plastic Fantastic: "They cost a fortune but feel like they were made in a factory that primarily produces budget-bin lunchboxes." The 'Incognito' Look: "They’re perfect if your goal is to look like an IT support worker who hasn't seen the sun in three fiscal quarters." Function & Tech The Touch Controls: "Sony’s touch controls are like a social experiment to see how quickly a user can accidentally skip a song while trying to pause it." The Noise Cancellation: "The noise cancellation is so good, it’s the only thing keeping you from realizing that the music you're listening to is actually trash." The 'Smart' Features: "They have so many 'smart' features that they spend more time trying to figure out what I’m doing than actually playing my music." The "Wait, What?" Mode: "The 'Speak-to-Chat' feature is the technological equivalent of a nosy neighbor who won't stop interrupting you to ask if you're okay." The "Audiophile" Perspective The Sound Profile: "They sound like they were tuned by someone who thinks 'warm and balanced' is a synonym for 'underwater.'" The Price Tag: "The best part about these headphones is how they make you feel—mostly poor, but at least you can't hear anyone asking you for a loan."

yep

Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 20 & 21 by Friedrich Gulda (1975) https://open.qobuz.com/album/fp84x72ff06ca Example (One I could find): I have been checking out Gulda's work recently, including some of his jazz work. This is very nice, I may not agree with all of his choices, but with Abbado and the Weiner/Vienna behind you it is hard to stray too far. Also being some of my favorite works does not hurt. The 1975 recording is a little thin, but not in a distracting way. The 24/192 on qobuz helps as well.

Okay Amy, you have my attention.

The Wigmore Hall Recital by Antônio Meneses (2013) https://open.qobuz.com/album/rt6bp6hxqcjgb Example: A pretty and mostly mellow listen and then there was this powerhouse of a Brahms work. Very symphonic for just a piano and cello.

Ledbetter Heights (30th Anniversary Sessions) by Kenny Wayne Shepherd (2016) https://open.qobuz.com/album/mu1i89de8zeac Example: It has been awhile since I have listened to any Kenny Wayne. Too long I would say. This is a very nice blues guitar album.

Peak on inside.

Cheers Chris - Happy Birthdays --

RIP -- It served us and myself personally with honor. 🫡
