Yes.

Fusion For Miles: A Tribute In Guitar A Bitchin' Brew? I have it on my want list but never got around to buying it.

Agreed - as long as its not the transformer I should get it back in better condition than when I bought it. ← Who's fixing it?

I had a power tube go at a gig. It lost a lot of volume. I ended up using a PoD through the PA. Yek!

interesting detour...

New Soundscapes out - review from Downtown Music Gallery: ROBERT FRIPP - Love Cannot Bear (DGM 0552) "Soundscape performances, typically, visit several moods, areas of reflection, consideration & personal interest, such as: queer space (ambiguous environments); threnody & lamentation; paradise, paradise lost & paradise regained; foreboding; mourning; quietude; sonic pleroma; affirmation. Affirmations, statements & declarations of faith that the creation is benevolent (despite all evidence to the contrary) are, in these Soundscape settings, mainly diatonic. As such, they are often easier listening than the atonal, polytonal & chromatic music of other Soundscape areas." - Robert Fripp. This disc, originally announced as being a single performance from this year, has instead become a program of various times/places, mostly between 1995-2005, but also including the masterful "Easter Sunday" recorded in 1983 and only previously released as a low-fi flexi-disc (remember those?) in the special Robert Fripp issue of Guitar Player Jan. '86 "I was fortunate to attend Robert's solo performance at the NY Ethical Cultural Society in June 2005, as well as the World Financial Center concerts in 2000, parts of which are to be found on this disc. Words fail me in explaining how extremely fantastic the musical journey Robert takes us on! Still, I met those who remarked afterwards such expressions of disappointment as, "Does he also play regular guitar?" If you're looking for solos in the traditional 'up-front' sense, perhaps you will also be disappointed. But if you're one of our regular DMG denizens, whose aim is to travel in search of the wondrous unknowns of musics yet to be made, this will fulfill your every yearning. My absolute highest recommendation - GOOGLEPLEX THUMBS UP! - goes to this shining example of a musician who is presenting all the genius of both his very deep understanding of mankind's history of musical compositional theory AND his extreme prowess as a practitioner of the art of the guitar - and its technological frontiers - to arrive at a singular sublime result that is NOT a maudlin advertisement for either - Manny 'Lunch' Maris

I just bought Belladonna a few days ago. Nice. I'll get into your blog review later, I'm busy writing a pair of reviews for DMG right now.

That's the kind of stuff that would put a landscaping company out of business. :eye:

anything yet?

Nov. 10, 1932!

The eyes have it.

I think they're pretty much the same. They tend to be a real deal used.

I don't have that many eyes. ← BTW, I think I'm going to get the box. ← Enjoy! I have a copy.

They did, and they no longer have that membership card that you had to pay an annual fee for, but they continue to give the 25% deal - unlike the other stores in the conglomorate. ← I'll have to check it out someday. Thanks!

Ah, a bit o' Google and I get an answer. The 25% off deal on Saturdays is at a chain in Northern NJ called CD World. I know of locations on Rt 17 So in Paramus, Rt 46 W. in Totowa and Rt 22 W. in Union. Pretty good when you catch it right. ← I thought they got sold to Coconuts last year. Ah. A bit o' Google and I get some answers.

and where are you shopping?

I have two S-500. I love them both. I think there different radius offered. The necks on mine are not huge. Check with these folks.

Cool!

Plus we have the Sundance channel on cable. (or I do).

Did you try another cable?

And Ravi? A chip off the old block.

Happy Birthday Conn!

Those caps are important! Dead Man is a great film. Masterpiece? I'll have some time to think about this and rewatch some films.
