All right M.R. Dr John is one of my main men since back in the day. Like Santana: great back then and still great now.
I have seen him 4 times and he has always been great. As with Etta James. She was a great romantic ballad singer then became a blues diva. Amazing.
Same with Ray. Great way back and what a final album (with friends)!
Don't know Trygve Seim but up my alley. Have the old Garbarek on vinyl. For sleep time music, try Torg Gustafson.

Pearl Django!!! Based in Seattle so keep an eye out for live tours!
Fiddler "Sparky" Grey was one of our local guys up here in the 1070s. He had a great Grisman cover band in Fairbanks called Rythem Romancers. Good stuff. Another Local band Pandemonium just had a member die here.

Great Job MIKE!!! You have a party going there!
Don't be surprised when Art comes in here. I suspect so since he keeps posting MY music here!
Dave Bartholomew is to Fats Domino what Quincy Jones was to Michael Jackson. Many don't realize that Thriller was completely ready to perform before Michael ever heard of it. Not to disparage his performance but it was Quincy's music. In the same way, it was Dave's music that Fats performed. The hidden genius behind the star. One of the greatest bands ever out of the New Orleans tradition. James Booker, New Orleans piano wizard.
Johnny Otis, Shuggies father. Have an old double LP live when Shug was a kid.
I have lots of old soul and R&B collections. The favorite to play at Mom's house is the 8 CD Atlantic R&B box set.
King Pleasure on vinyl: Moody's Mood For Love. Old Masters LP "made in Holland".

CDex

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=567

Free download. Rip your cd's into any codec including FLAC, with 0 Lossless compresion. You can also use the built in Jitter correction. When you use Nero for example to burn a straight copy of a cd, it still craps on the quality of the original by taking the depth of the audio away. When you use CDex to rip first and then use Nero to burn, it is flawless.

I just thought the music buffs would like a shot at using it, if they havnt already. I just borrowed all the remastered Led Zeppelin cd's from a guy I work with and used it lastnight. The burned cd's sound exact. Nucks burned mp3 cd comment reminded me of the program.Cheers.

Nuck,

Actually, I didn't have to type it out, because I keep a list of the 1,000+ CDs I have (in addition to other lists with every record, cassette, R-2-R, etc. that I have), so it was just a matter of
doing a copy/paste.

Like I said in some other post when the topic veered off into cars, the music IS part of me (just like my car!).

Kevin,

"Dave Bartholomew is to Fats Domino..."

>> Don't forget Smiley Lewis. He was the 'third leg' of that equation.

"Johnny Otis, Shuggies father."

>> Johnny Otis's real name was Ioannis (Yannis) Veliotes, born on December 28, 1921 in Vallejo, California.
Everybody used to think he was black, but he was Greek. He played in almost exclusively black bands/groups/clubs and did a ton of R&B. He married a black woman and also had his own R&B show on TV, which I have on VHS. [That's another part of my 'collection.' I have 99% of ALL the early and super-rare clips of old (late '40s, '50s and early '60s) TV shows, on which any black group which I collect, appeared. Some of those are even harder to get than the original records themselves.]

"...8 CD Atlantic R&B box set."

>> I've got that too (just didn't list it), along with all the rest of the Atlantic CDs, plus all the CDs of any groups which appeared on Atlantic (i.e. Clovers, Cardinals listed above, just to mention two). ...And obviously, I have all the original 45s (or 78s, if they weren't released on 45) of EVERY group record on Atlantic.

"King Pleasure on vinyl..."

>> Oh definitely! Listen to Jumpin' With Symphony Sid by him. It was the theme song for Symphony Sid (Torin's) R&B/Blues/Jazz show here in NYC in the '50s.

I was only listing a few of the CDs I was using to test the Saturn. If I started listing my record collection, I'd be banned from this forum for posting a hundred page message!

I finally decided what I'm going to get (and actually just paid for them), but I'll slap that in the appropriate thread (if I can find it again). Too bad there's no 'Search' function on this forum. It would make it a lot easier...

Btw, does anybody know how to NOT receive e-mail notifications from SPECIFIC threads on this forum?

In your profile, you have the option to be notified across the board, but I don't see an option to exclude INDIVIDUAL threads:

Additional E-mail Notification Settings (RECOMMENDED)

My own posts
Replies to my posts
Send e-mail notification as HTML text rather than plain text

The problem with that, it's global in nature.
I have no problem with receiving e-mail notifications about other threads, but on this one (Music Selections), I'd wind up with hundreds of e-mails in my inbox.

Anybody know?

Tnx,

Nuck,

I just want to make sure you're not joking (like Stryvn was about Little Richard)!

I wasn't talking about you. As a matter of fact, I wasn't talking about any specific person:

"...does anybody know how to NOT receive e-mail notifications from SPECIFIC threads on this forum?"

I have it set up in my profile to receive e-mail notifications if somebody replies to a post I happened to have EITHER started or EVEN JUST if I've posted a comment in a thread somebody else started.

That's fine for every other THREAD, but THIS ONE ("Music Selections...") because it gets SO many replies (on an ongoing and never ending basis).

So what I'm trying to do is IGNORE e-mail notifications from THIS THREAD ONLY, while still receiving e-mail notifications from any/every OTHER THREAD.

In your profile, it seems as if you can't do that. All it has is:

Additional E-mail Notification Settings (RECOMMENDED)

My own posts
Replies to my posts
Send e-mail notification as HTML text rather than plain text

...which is GLOBAL (i.e. EVERY thread or NO threads). I don't see anywhere on this board where you can choose to exclude e-mail notification from SPECIFIC THREADS, while leaving the rest of the THREADS as they are...

If you know of some 'secret' place, please let me know how to do that.

Tnx,

M______

My memory tells me that vinyl is a way better Uriah Heep but for now the cd is makin' me smile. Maybe tomorrow night I get to try with appropriate volume.

Speaking of history, I pulled a good one out today:
Lightnin Hopkins a cd reissue series: Prestige Profiles. A really good deal because they are 2 cds for the price of one. Well not that old but 1949 to 664. Listening to these blues guitar stylists really shows where people like Clapton etc came from.

I had to buy the whole collection: see http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=19911

Kevin,

Charlie used to be a friend of mine (don't forget, since everybody was/is in 'the field,' everybody knows everybody -- just like in every other hobby/obsession).

Another good one was written by another friend of mine:

They All Sang On The Corner
By Phil Groia
1983/Rev. 2001


I could give you 100 more written by friends / acquaintances / colleagues / fellow collectors, etc., but unless 'you' (whomever) are interested, they wouldn't matter. I've written intros and chapters and done tons of fact checking for a lot of these anyway, but it's no big deal. I know that music like Jan knows gear!

Really enjoying the dialog on your collection and experiences.

Art, you and I need to hook up for some power garage saling. I picked up about 65 LPs last week at a garage sale. They weren't out for sale so I requested them. Ask Nuck.

Listening to as much as I can last couple of days;

Holly Cole, Al Stewart, Bob Dylan, B.B. King, Zeppelin, Floyd, all stuff I posted on earlier, just recycling tonight.

Why in the hell did anybody have to bring up Disco Demolition? The White Sox had to forfeit the 2nd game of that double header thanks to the genius of Steve Dahl. I didn't mind the disco records going boom, but to forfeit a game...

I agree Mike, hell we can find a bargain where one don't exist!!!

Nuck, you need to read up on these Model 5's. They are absolutely amazing classics. In many ways they are the best speaker in my house...and they are being driven by a 30 yr old receiver using a $10 garage sale DVD player. Did I mention that the speakers cost me $15 and he threw in a vintage Pioneer receiver just for giggles...needs work but I'm up to it!

Dropped some of my favorite vinyl on the dealer that let me demo the MAC pre.

Al Stewart - Year of the Cat
Holly Cole
B.B. King - Live at Cook County Jail
Roger Waters - Amused To Death
Linda and Richard Thompson- Shoot Out the Lights
Plus a couple of others I don't remember at the moment.

Told him to call me whenever he was done going through them. He seemed pleased to have the chance to listen to them, on gear none of us except Frank and Jan ever get to or got to listen to our favorites on.

My guess it will be the VPI Super Scout with the Classe pre/pro and B&Ws

Just trying to keep dealer relationships positive.

Curently listening to WMHT classical radio on the Cambridge Soundworks 730.

I found WMHT accidently, and have NEVER heard FM radio sound this rich, smooth, and warm. It is nice to know that FM radio can still provide good quality sound.

Yes, Mike. The Notting Hillbillies is a fine album. And I would too say it is a bit far on the bluegrass....but I like it. You're welcome.

Sitting in front of laptop in very small hotel room trying to get the ol' IBM to sound like the Rotel/Paradigm. Blue Oyster Cult. It ain't workin'. But it's noise.

Heard a Santana song on the tuner and just had to throw Abraxas on the Saturn. Hehe. I may like this tuner but the Saturn beat it down like any $2K+ component should beat down a $40 component.

Not that I don't still appreciate the tuner, but this stuff about tuner's having CD quality sound haven't taken it up against a Saturn.

Must sound wonderful on the laptop, Stryvn.
Although mine gives a very good(if quiet) soundstage and good image.
Any more is verbotten without German beer.

Mike, give that a twist. Outstanding album, not a 'skipper' to be had. Still the analogue kid.

The White Album on the tubes.
Tiger Woods and the golf game on tap...sorry, I just friggin' love watching him win!

Art, I only was familiar with maybe 1/2 dozen or so of the songs on that Folk Singers LP and it is not generally my cup of tea. However I really enjoyed the last 5 songs on the 4th side. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys this type of music.
