skeith

thanks again for all your help guys!!!

After moving tubes around per Lon's suggestion, I am beginning to suspect this spray might work. Did you spray into each hole in each socket with the straw attachment or do a more general spray of the socket? Is it more likely the power tubes or the other tubes?

Thanks guys for all of your suggestions. I will report back.

I am hearing a crackling, staticky noise from the speakers rather than the usual sort of simple whoosh of air sound, not sure if I am describing it correctly, but I hope you know what I mean. Is this likely to be the tubes? I just replaced them recently. I suppose it could be something further upstream and that it tube equipment too.

there is a new group of Jazz album cover T-shirts from this retailer. This time it's Prestige album covers!!

I am sure it has been said before, but I would love to see a single cd of Jackie McLean's "Hipnosis". I know it is on the Moncur Mosaic, but this one is really a Jackie date and deserves to be out under his name. Maybe it will happen under the newly revived Blue Note under Don Was?

I noticed that you posted recently you are listening to the Elvis Presley - Legacy Edition - his first album on RCA. I really love that reissue!! How about Linda Perhacs "Parallelograms" from 1970? A folk album and one of the greatest lost albums I have ever heard. And one of the tracks was co-written with Oliver Nelson -yes that one.

I think The Stylistics are great!! My new find is the Small Faces.

I like the picture.

That's a shame. Loved his work, particularly with the Flying Burrito Brothers.

I was a big fan of the Band and of course Levon. He will be missed.

Sad news. Thank TTK for letting us know. I was a fan.

thanks guys for your input!!

I hope you mean 'hard to overestimate his importance', otherwise you're insulting him... Yes, I did mean overestimate - I started to say something else and flippped and it came out wrong. He was clearly one of the greatest!!

any comments on this "release" - music sound or otherwise? I am a big Stones fan.

Hard to underestimate his importance. My first Earl Scruggs record was the 45 rpm of Flatt & Scruggs "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" I still have it in the original sleeve. I wonder what it is worth now?

which forum is the other thread in?

That sounds about right. Best explanation I have heard yet. Thanks Neal!!! I burnt a man alive for playing Sylvester's You Make Me Feel Mighty Real on our local jukebox. Really? well I shot a man in Reno, just for pissing on my thread!!! Sorry, about that. I didn't read your thread closely enough. I thought you were being partly tongue in cheek. Please accept my apologies, and offer any insights you might care to if you can help on the similar thread re-Jazz titles. I wasn't really going to shoot you... and it's ok. Now where is this other thread you are talking about.

Thanks JSangry, I was thinking of Little Ole Wine Drinker Me as one example - but there are many more songs with that lyric. For example in the Buck Owens Classic "A-11" he seems to say "I heard you matching for the music" and there are other tunes but I can't remember them now. If Haggard is saying "asked" ... not sure that makes much sense either.

I am very surprised that so many songs by Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, and George Jones talk about drinking wine. Somehow I find it hard to imagine these guys stepping up to a bar in Texas or Bakersfield or Nashville in the 1950s or 60s (when these songs were written) and ordering a glass of "chilled Chardonay" or the "latest Beaujolais" or some such thing. I would imagine that in those locales in those days a man doing that would be considered something less of a man (probably be thought of as gay) and get his ass kicked. Did they order by the glass or by the bottle? Also a number of songs have the following lyric or something close to it: "I matched a man behind the bar for the jukebox" - Translation please? (Let me state that I greatly love all three of these guys and I do not intend to offend any current residents of those locales)

From the latest album either "Someone Like You" or "Rollin' in the Deep" ... and I will be stunned if you haven't heard one of these. I have never sought these out and hear them all the time.

I think you will experience a great improvement Chuck. I developed cataracts in both eyes in the last five years and I chose the more advanced multifocal lenses and was able to get rid of glasses that I have been wearing for 40 years. Yes, it is a bit scary and your eyeball is opened with a scalpel - but one is so drugged that you don't really care. I recommend this surgery to anyone. Chuck, be SURE to meticulously follow the rather onerous eyedrop regimen that you have following surgery. That is important to make sure everything turns out ok.

I like "Young Django" with Larry Coryell and Philippe Catherine.
