Waltzes & Preludes

I'm wondering if shipping via FedEx, DHL, UPS might improve the odds of getting what one ordered. For what it is worth, the customs harmonization code for LPs/45s is 85238090 / 85238010 The harmonization code for CDs is 85234920 going forward, these numbers might be useful to provide sellers when shipping stuff to the US.

I place an order with Gold Star Coffee in Toronto about every 4 months or so. Great coffee at great prices. I am worried that these shipments will now be held up. I may have placed my last order until 2028.

Kid Rena/Bunk Johnson, Prelude to the Revival, volume 2 (American Music)

Vinyl Storage Solutions are awesome sleeves

RIP Danny - versatile & wonderful bassist saw him play with Richard Thompson here in Brisbane, late 90s? Have been enjoying the recent Nick Drake 5LP "Making of 5 Leaves Left" set - quite a bit of unreleased Danny here (10 previously unreleased takes)

Shipping to the US is somewhat problematic. I ordered some vinyl inners and outers from a company in Canada and it was shipped but got stuck at customs. Because packages are only allowed to be there five days it was returned to the supplier who has now te-shipped it.

R.I.P. I was fortunate enough to see him several times with Richard Thompson.

I’m not that familiar with Crosby. I listened to some of the audio samples, which were ok but not compelling enough to want to order the set. .

Oh no! RIP. A master.

A blast from the past - Devo and B-52s were playing in Toronto last night. It threatened to rain the whole evening, and I think the B-52s cut a couple of songs from their set list to make sure people didn't get caught in the rain, which finally started around 11. It could have been a lot messier! Fun night!

R.I.P. He had such a big sound, I think the best of all British bass players. I think hearing him on the Pentangle albums may have been my first exposure to double bass, it definitely started my love for that sound.

It’s a warm morning. Our new housemate American Bully Memphis has settled into the daily routines well after two weeks now. He’s napping on the bed with a full belly, giving me space on my listening chair. Starting off with a repeat listen to Monday Michiru “4 Seasons” Polydor Japan 2 cd, disc 1 This recording has always sounded so good and it sounds magnificent this morning!
