7/4

Downloaded it and played it today. Hmm! Grant Green and Jimmy Smith Play Yes! Interesting to hear the Yes pieces shoehorned into an organ trio format; pleasant enough as an album, but a bit snoozy. I'm no expert but it sounded a bit under-rehearsed on Howe's part - notes not quite clicking in with the overall time, just a bit inflexible rhythmically on his part. His son seemed well up for the job. The 'live' audience applause also seemed artificial - I'm sure it was just turned up at the end of tracks but it reminded me of canned laughter. I have it, listened to it twice. I don't know what to think yet...let's hear him play bop!!!

can't say that progmetal holds any interest for me, it lacks most of what makes prog interesting.

And part of what I've been excited about is his steel guitar playing. whew!

Yes! I've been listening to them since I was a teenager, but this Spring I've been I've been on a kick. Steve Howe is really something, take away his classical and bagtimey influences and he's one of (if not the) most original guitarists of his generation. I've listened to Tales, YesShows, Drama and a bunch of his solo albums (The Steve Howe Album, Quantum Guitar, Turbulence) quite a few times recently. Got a copy of Magnification, learning to like that one. I wish there were more legit live releases with Bruford or Moraz on 'em. Listening to Gentle Giant - In a Glass House for the first time right now.

Dizzy Ratstein.

Morton Feldman's String Quartet No. 2 all six hours, streaming...coughing included, it's just like being there!

I was thinking of sending him an invite, but if he's on FB...I should friend him.

that's awful! I saw him with Mark Isham & David Torn at the Bottom Line years ago.

Even though Jagger got his dance moves off Howlin' Wolf, I'd call Muddy more influential than most of the Blues guys. All this still has nothing to do with the revelation that maybe Robert Johnsons recordings were all mastered too fast.

Look at the thread title.

I'd like to hear all his work slowed down.

The less we pay attention to Clapton, the better of civilization will be.

Maybe the original recordings were mastered too fast? They sound normal slowed down. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2010/may/27/robert-johnson-blues

On my want list...I think I should check them out. I finally got Paul Gailbraith - the Sonatas and Partitas last week. Man, this is nice.

I think so. Look around on http://gbase.com and get an idea about the price. Couldn't find anything there, but I'll keep looking. I had no idea ... (as they say on Antiques Roadshow). keep watching...I found 137 Telcasters 1960-1970. You also might want to check out the Gear Page and the Telecaster forum. Maybe ask questions there.

I heard a bit today...I love it. I should get another chance to hear it this weekend.

Me 2. I feel guilty because I only gave it a couple of spins.

He sounds horrible! the electronics sound pretty cool though...

not too happy 'bout this.

facebook hysteria.

that happened to Pluto.

WTF...don't do that man!

the covers of my teen age SF books! RIP.
