I thought it was the other way around. ?? Depends on who's doing the tossing, I guess....

Dwarfs welcomed, midgets tossed...

That inspired this:

Now THAT looks like a fun church! I'd like to hear THEM do "Amazing Grace!"

The Rangers are far from the worst team. In fact, and I've said this all season: the Rangers are, at best, a .500 team and they've been hovering around that all year. Yeah, the last 14 games have been a drag to watch (except last night), but by and large this is all par for the course. A few baseball die-hards around here, who are far tougher than I've ever been on the Rangers, actually feel that the Rangers are but one arm and a decent manager away from being contenders. Hell, even I'M not that optimistic.

I've got chunks of guys like you in my stool, Al. Easy baby! And what's with the sneer? The people WANT to like you!

Perhaps they're worshipping at the chrome bowl?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!! Rangers win, Millwood throws a complete game. I'll never figure these guys out!

Dude, we're outta money!!! We're having to sell OUR collections to buy YOURS!!!

I hear you baby, loud and clear!

It's the regular Nero used for burning CDrs. I used that "pan in" option for the Bill Evans with Gary McFarland session in the Evans box set. The stereo separation was way too wide (not a problem I often have) and the music sounded a lot better after I panned it in. I'll check that out. I haven't used Nero to burn CDrs before. Thanks for the tip.

A sure sign of the apocalypse will be if she and Kenny G do an album of covers of Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald songs.

Egad, can the Rangers season get any worse? Kinsler out (one of the better bats); pitching continues to get worse; lost 11 of their last 13 with no relief (pun sorta intended) in sight; ERA headed for the stratosphere.... Well, it was fun while it lasted. Back to reality again.

I've said it before elsewhere in this forum and I'll say it again: when I die, I want this CD playing "Amazing Grace" at my funeral. If you haven't picked it up yet, get it NOW. It really is that good!

Maybe an easier question would be: Are there any Stanley Turrentine sessions you DON'T like?

Come on.... y'all are talking like you know what stuff sounds like inside Aric's brain....

Yeah, IIRC, the OJC of Getz/Tjader didn't have the wide stereo separation the SACD has. As far as the Ellington goes, diff'rent strokes, diff'rent ears I guess.

With the Getz/Tjader, it's the Fantasy Hybrid SACD CD-layer (how's that for Hoffmanese? ), the Ellington was the Legacy reissue.
