December 15, 201114 yr Ahhh, madman is great! Looking for my Chet Atkins In Hollywood cd right now. I just saw that today when I was sorting LP's into the new rack .. I have the RCA reissue - sad it is still sealed - I need to get my shit straight and listen some more.
December 15, 201114 yr Author I just saw that today when I was sorting LP's into the new rack .. I have the RCA reissue - sad it is still sealed - I need to get my shit straight and listen some more. I always feel that way. I told Claire that I want to listen to all my music and read all my books when I'm retired. She suggested I should dream bigger, but that seems great to me.
December 15, 201114 yr Absolute Sound review said this was good. It is. Listening on MOG now. It's supposed to be available on 45 rpm vinyl. http://mog.com/m/album/11395813
December 16, 201114 yr New Conceptions- Chucho Valdes, goes well with the Cabernet Franc I am drinking. You see Chucho is Cuban so his music is kind of Caribbean salsa Cuban jazzish and that pairs well with the fruit layered Cabernet Franc cause Cuban food has a spicy fruit layer to it. See simple! Now carry on. Apropos since we just had the piano tuned today, and it sounds mahvalous!!!!! Edited December 16, 201114 yr by Augsburger

December 17, 201114 yr There are few I've felt that for (though often over time don't), but never Cohen.
December 18, 201114 yr Damn, hadn't heard. Vaclav Havel too. So Cesaria Evora's self-titled now. Later the Velvets and some The Plastic People Of The Universe http://is.gd/Df9nhJ
December 19, 201114 yr I just got a couple of tapes of Count Basie and his Orchestra. It's a live recording from a private party in L.A. which took place in 1961. The dynamics are unbelievable and the tunes are great. The tapes I have are direct copies of the original session tapes which were never meant to be distributed. I'm not sure about the details of these recordings but they sound like they were done professionally. Of course, since they've never been processed at all, the stereo image isn't quite centered , there's no fade in/outs and the horns on the left sometimes dominate over the right but the sound is very "fresh" and the Basie and the guys are in top form. One cool thing is the edits (splices) are minimal so if the next tune starts within a minute or so, there's no edit and you can hear the players messing with the guests. I really like the idea that I'm able to listen to something that only a handful of folks have ever heard too.
December 19, 201114 yr Author ...I really like the idea that I'm able to listen to something that only a handful of folks have ever heard too. So, does that mean you aren't going to digitize it and send us all copies?
December 19, 201114 yr Oh,.. I think that 24/96 copies can be done. Just don't hold your breath. I'm kinda swamped right now.
December 19, 201114 yr Author I was really just kidding, but I would love to come over and hear the tape sometime.
December 19, 201114 yr Author Lucky for humanity, Die Antwoord have a new album coming out! Get in line early Stretch, we want the scoop!
December 20, 201114 yr I was really just kidding, but I would love to come over and hear the tape sometime. You're always welcome Al! I'll bring that tape with me to the next meet in Burlingame in Feb too.
