I haven't paid attention to the label since Nick died.

I'm sure they will be happy together.

Crabapple trees can steal water and soil nutrients needed by the apple tree. So, it might be the fault of the crabapple tree.

Boy am I bummed. I was thinking of these guys:

Might be Dickie Wells.

Easy. It is Flip.

Don't have it anymore but have fond memories of the string quartet side (unissued Signal date).

I'm and idiot in two (count 'em, two) centuries. Y'all should know that by now.

Just 21st century idiots not knowing 20th century corporate histories.

Just want to point out my Hoffman mention was "in passing" and not an "attack" on Hans, Hoffman, RVG, McMaster, Scientology or any other religion. Don't think I have complained about or praised any mastering "engineers" in this thread. I'm just bugged about the whole situation and all the bitching. Some folks throw around terms like compression, noise reduction, NoNoise and Cedar the way "talk radio" folks talk about bird flu. I just get really irritated. Whatever happened to tone controls, equalizers, etc. In the days of vinyl (the golden age of audio - right?) the freaks had "plots" for each of their favorite records. Now folks just bitch about the newest edition and if you don't like it they tell you your equipment isn't "good enough" to reveal the flaws. HORSE SHIT!

Don't think he'd have noticed or cared enough to write about it. Used to get frequent letters and postcards from Kenny and he was all "peace, love, beauty and joy".

Saw him a bunch of times and was always delighted. One time sticks in my mind for an extra-musical reason. In the late '70s he was in Chicago with a local rhythm section. At the end of the 2nd set Jackie took the mike and lectured the audience about taking Wilbur Campbell for granted 'cause he was local. He said "Wilbur is one of the originators and you MUST treasure him".

Time for you to tell me what I don't understand. Guess I'm just dense.

looks like I will be too late. darn.

Emphasised overtones can shift perceptions of the tonal center.

I can supply my own fascination and don't need the frustration. No need to spend money.

Relax.

I thought you said he joined the US Marines. There's a news story and thread starter.

The whole concept bugs me. If a composition is good and catches the ears of others it will be performed again. Bunches of great compositions are ignored/missed by the crowd. Now, there's a thread.
