that decision takes testicular fortitude -

he's got a lot of balls -

I think he's nuts -

that's a coincidence - I, too, have Jewish relatives - and of course there are my twin cousins the strippers, Candy and Randy Cohen -

let's not forget Grandma Moses - and John McCain -

Dickey Wells The Dickeys Dirk Diggler

sorry to be so flip - I just find Dylan unlistenable since, maybe, 1968 - it's like hearing Sinatra with laryngitis - once you've heard it the way it CAN be, it's just to painful to hear it done badly -

he doesn't color his hair - he's prematurely orange -

does he still color his hair?

I find this depressing -

personally I can hear up to 79,000 KHZ -

personally I miss him a lot -

five minutes to go -

does it have the sides with Dexter Gordon? ahh, sorry, I'm like a drunk when it comes to this stuff - just can't resist the bottle of OP -

"I'm very happy for you and your machine which costs four times the one I'm looking at" whoa now, no reason to get hostile - first of all you can find them used for half the price - second of all, as a professional musician you can store your whole life on this machine - also, get a nice condenser mike, hang it over your piano and produce recordings as good as any studio or better, at 24 96 - also, store 16 CD projects - this machine alone saved me about $500 in studio time on my last project - buy it, or else -

because of these new forum rules, I can't print the whole article - will post a little bit plus the link, but get there fast as I've been informed it will only be there for a very short time Nome Alaska the Biblical Press September 7, 2008 A group of scientists working together in a bible study class have, today, figured out not only the meaning of life but also how to become filthy rich and never have to work again and marry somebody nice. read the rest but read it fast: www.oscarpetersonsucks.com

when I saw the heading I thought it was about the Pope -

I have a Masterlink that records CDs in 24/96 - sounds great -

I used to do sound restoration for a living so it was essential to get good stuff, though I didn't kill myself - it paid off, as. honestly, I consider myself better at sound restoration than anyone else I've heard; it's because I have a good, sold audio chain, good converters, and the world's best speakers, no kidding, a pair of Brysyton's Lab's that cost me more than I have ever spent on any other piece of equipment - not to mention ears that I trust more than anyone else's - I know it sounds arrogant, but in the days when I did a lot of custom sound work (putting LPs and tapes onto CDRs) I was called the best in the business - also helps, in your system, to have a good (and preferably digital) eq - essentially I like analog sources that are well re-mastered with digital techniques - but I repeat - most important thing: YOUR SPEAKERS! Crappy speakers make crappy sound which is why there is so much crappy sound in the world - also: Learn how to EQ and you will be able to listen to a lot of stuff as it should have been mastered (a few well-chosen frequency boost makes ALL the difference - it wasn't for nothing that Al Haig named one of his songs "Earless Engineering.")

glad you mentioned Dave Marsh, who just may be the WORST writer with a good reputation that I have ever read - his book Louis Louis is almost illiterate - yikes, I don't know how this guy got where he is -

if you want to talk about British musical sources for the Beatles, I think you have to point at McCarney and what were clearly British music hall/vaudeville origins - look at When I'm 64, for one good example, and Good Day Sunshine - but the real divide between the Beatles and some of the other British bands was the split between their Chuck Berry/pop sources and the harder blues sources of groups like the Rolling Stones, The Pretty Things, Graham Bond, etc. In his book Stone ALone Bill Wyman says that htere was a real schism between these two schools and even some real musical/personal hostility. also, McCartney was/is VERY aware of standard song form, Tin Pan Alley, etc -

Grier was hosting a variety/comedy show at the Yale Cabaret while I briefly attended Drama School there (in playwriting) - as I recall, in this particular thing he was doing some kind of song parody -

was she Dizzy's running mate? hope to do some scanning this weekend -

this is me and David Allen Grier - on stage, Yale Cabaret, circa 1979-80

here's one - as I mentioned, I recently have been going through old photos, though I may have posted this before - that's me, 1970, high school variety show, playing tenor - behind me is the now-famous Elliot Easton (than known as Steinberg), later lead guitar player for The Cars -
