Tom in RI

The stomach that walks like a man...

Thanks for the post, I will check this out.

Bill Frisell, solo, at an intimate theater in East Greenwich, RI. He had several pedals and used loops judiciously. Also played an acoustic interlude including a stunning workout on Moon River. I get out to shows almost never so this was quite a treat. The experience was marred somewhat by an annoying buzz in the stack on stage right.

That Gerald Wilson is one my most played, from about 40 Mosaic sets I own. I should be selling some of these myself.

Happy birthday, 61?

Most of my magazines have survived the last two moves, much to the chagrin of my wife. Really though, I’ll grab a random Cadence for a diversion but I almost never reach for the others. If I do get rid of my magazines I’ll still keep the Cadence issues. Prior to a move in 2017 I managed to sell a few magazines, mostly issues of Musician from the 1980’s, based on who was on the cover over at Audiokarma.

Concerning new vinyl releases, I can’t bring myself to spend $18-$40 or more on a new release when it is likely to also be available used as a cd soon enough. If someone is releasing something as vinyl only, for that kind of scratch, I can do without it. Particularly when I can pick up used records in great shape most often for $4-$12 or so at my preferred shop in Providence. Fact is I’ve got more records and cds than I can get to anyway and my collection is not exceptional, around here I am just another guy. I started buying records in the ‘70’s and I’ll still grab one here and there if I see something that strikes my fancy but nowadays I am buying ridiculously devalued cd’s when I see something of interest (the latest cd I bought was $.50 at a library earlier this week). I still play records but play cd’s a lot more. I’m lucky to have fallen in with a group of people who share the music and gear fascination and we get together periodically, share a libation, and let the world slow down enough to enjoy some tunes. I don’t begrudge buyers or sellers of new vinyl issues, it’s just not for me. As far as playback, Porcy’s comment hits home with me the most, I want non-fatiguing as the most important virtue in my system.

Yes it was, thanks Dan.

I know this is somewhat pathetic to revive my own Happy Birthday thread, but, I’m shameless. Sixty three today.

Heady Topper, its still a winner.

Enjoyed that, seems the camera man decided to play air trombone at the end.

Response sent, thanks.

Haven’t heard the cd release but I’ve had this material as a dl’ed ROIO, have enjoyed it quite a bit. As a young fan in the ‘70’s I got used to Bird airshots so listening to these recordings has been no problem at all for me.
