Nate is in the Happiest Place On Earth® so there is no way to defeat his happiness.

Welcome home Grahame! Good work Todd!

RIP Manitas

My favorite recording has been released by different names at different times, but it is from 1963 (a good year if I say so myself) and was recorded in a medieval chapel in Arles, France. The Connoisseurs Society recorded and released it. My disc is called Manitas de Plata and Friends but there is a longer version they released as a three-record set. There are flac files floating around the web. I also like the Carnegie Hall recording and some others I cannot recall by name.

Sorry, hypocritical post removed. I forgot what thread I was in.

Wow, it was good! No heavy breading and no overlooking of the shrimp made it pretty much perfect.

What about the Stereophile-backed meet idea? NYC?

I'm sure that none of the HC crew will be actively involved in putting on this event like the second through fifth national meets. That said, if people want an excuse to congregate then I might make my way down there and drop into the CanJam event briefly.

RIP Manitas de Plata, my all-time favorite flamenco guitarist. He was 93 and lived a very full life (he's not sure how many children he has spawned), so it is not terribly sad news, but worthy of noting and some listening today. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29937355

I'm not usually big on keeping threads on topic but how about you can the bad comedy routine? Every second post in the thread doesn't need the Wisdom of Wink tacked on.

I've never even considered the possibility of getting rabies in the manner you describe, Shelly. I don't think you have anything to worry about in that regard and I'm certain your doctor will say the same. I really hope you don't sweat it or worry any more about your mom getting it. You've got enough things on your plate already.

Where is the lying part found? I read your post last night and went back to see if he misstated himself but I don't see anything wrong with his post.

Great album^

RIP HP

Frank Sinatra -- Where Are You? (DSD)

Nice! Glad you have a little time for a California treat.

Listening on vinyl and I had forgotten that it has a song that shares a name with one of HC's next generation. Here are the lyrics at the end of the song: Clean as a breeze, bright as the day All of the people gather to say "Sweet Esme! Sweet Esme!" Oh, oh, oh! I believe love will always surround you Brave as a bear with a heart rare and true But if you are scared, if you are blue I have prepared this small song for you: Sweet Esme! Sweet Esme! Oh, oh, oh!

Agree that is a great one. I really like Until he End Of The World soundtrack so this inspired me to pull that out last night. Now playing: Coleman Hawkins -- The Hawk Flies High on DSD

That really does hurt a lot. I love Click and Clack and all their corny humor. Tom especially seemed brilliant and I loved their joyful approach and amazing laughs. RIP Tom and condolences to Ray. That sucks to lose your big brother too early and Alzheimer's couldn't have been any fun.

Happy birthday Rudy! Man, he must have the best stories from all those sessions...

Remember to duck, Nate.

I was sure this was going to be a Funky Buddha beer when I clicked on the thumbnail without seeing the thread title. Oh well, the actual donut looks tasty!
