It reminded me of one of the acid trips I had taken, in a good way. I took a date to see it, and that was a one-and-done. Not even food afterward. Nope. Straight home.

After the previous days' doses of Beethoven, it took me 24+ hours to be able to play the Dvorak more than a few minutes without making myself take it off. It just seemed so light, so simple so....silly. But I know better, so I did other things before putting it back on. And then the palate was about 97% clear. Close enough. Of course, it's a delightful piece, but I think another group might be more temperamentally suited for it. I have a few, so I'll go back at some point to listen to the different interpretations. The Wolfe piece, otoh, could be subtitled "Fun With Harmony", for the way it keeps slipping around without actually going off the rails. I know Wolfe for his songs, but if this is any indication, more research would be a good thing! Check it out:

That's a good record!

As the MLC tournament rolls on, there have been a LOT of super-tight matches going down to the wire. I've yet to miss a match. Compelling sports!!!

Gurp Handen - Gurp Calling!!!

Never worked a gig like that. Thank God!

That's a good record. NP:

Sonny had retirement forced on him. But that coul happen to anybody, so yean - carpe diem!

Just got 413.

Thom Bell!

Joe Cocker, Thom Bell, Cyndi Lauper, and Soundgarden all made marks. And although I totally get Carol Kaye's point...she definitely made her mark.

1 Middle, 1 Late, and no matter how long of a gap they put between them, it's still a shock when the later work begins, like it's an altogether different composer. So...the LP affords a listener an opportunity there. No, it forces it!!!

The best way to avoid being remembered is to never get known to begin with....

Bummer. But all the JSQ vinyl I have has been "well-played" or worse. Probably a case of people either dieing or else finally dumping their LPs for CDs. These user-friendly priced box sets can only accelerate that trend! The Carter Quartets are an amazing body of work imo. The JSQ eventually recorded 1-4 when they were still strong (and there's a set of those) and eventually did 5 as well later on when the ensemble was less strong. The only full set that I've heard is by Arditti and it's one of those "whoa...." experiences. Pretty deep and/yet scintillating music.

I'm just glad that you're now in a position to rebuild!

Just bring cash.

Good suggestions all! My gut is still leaning towards Lee Allen, but I don't think he was in L.A. at this time.

One helluva piece to make a coherent whole out of, but this is more than just coherent. It's virtually cinematic in it's aural flashbacks and episodic thought structures and overall narrative flow.

I don't have the ability to do this. If it's possible. Kevin might and Jim A definitely does.

I have an old handheld unit that I keep in the bathroom. The joke is obvious. But I play a game a day. That joke is obvious to

How much can you afford to lose? 🤠
