Not sure that this would be my Dexter choice from the 70s, not even slightly, but if the goal was to focus on Post-Return, my only choice for Top Choice would be Manhattan Symphonie! Same thing, only not too much of it! also not sure why there needs to be any Blakey 70s album on this list (but I get it). However, this, nor any of these NextGen Messengers would be on it. Instead, I would go strait to - and stay - at the Anthengain/Buhania combo on Prestige, records that actually sounded contemporary-in-the-continuum at the time - Woody Shaw/Carter Jefferson/Cedar Walton. RHODES!!!!! UBER 70s!!!! Once that band (such as it was) quit, it was never the same in that way The Bobby Watson bands made some good(enough) records, but that Pomeranov guy and that Schnitter guy never even started to do it for me. Too bad that Watxon & Williams kinda passed me by in the process, but oh well...time has allowed me to get on top of that.And by the time the overalls came of...it didn't get interesting again foe me until 1984's New York Scene. And after that, I pretty much stopped caring, the memories didn't need defiling. Can't speak for Kansas, but this was a GREAT era for cutout bins and the glories therein. and also the first real beginnings of non-niche used stores (at least here). You go back and look at the Schwann catalogs of the very early part of the decade and look at the deletions...SO many of them ended up in cutout bins throughout the 70s and into the 80s. And the longer they didn't sell, the more marked down they got (and the more likely you were to find them in Woolcos than any actual record store. Hell, I didn't start routinely paying full price for over 50% of my collection WELL into the 90s, maybe even the 2000s. Bottom Feeders' Glory Days!

Highly entertaining in establishing a "high probability", if perhaps less than 100% factually conclusive. Were they experienced?

The whole notion of history as entertainment, and all that comes with that, is fraught with peril and maybe even risks becoming propaganda. That recent Ken Burns series on country music comes to mind...

If people aren't confronted with exactly how pervasive, common, and crude this stuff was, at some point they're not going to get it. They'll think of it as an abstract concept rather than the nasty reality that it was. What format this forced exposure is best handled in, I don't know, but right now I think we're at a crossroads between elimination and avoidance. So we could probably go either way.

Credit whre it's due, to that big hit song by, what was his name, Bobby Seal?

I'd rather be bit by a horse than kissed on the nose by a snake!

Hey, nice. My fullest respects.

best wishes for you both, as well as for the horses. they really are magnificent creatures. I mean, I'm worthy of a dog, but am in no way worthy of a horse. Seriously.

And not just on this one, everywhere!

Barbara Donald really, really, needs a light shone upon her and her baaaaaaaaaaad self. Magnificent, she was.

Another "rock truth"!!!

What are you using to reference the correct key to make sure that it really is correct? For corrections, would ratios help as a starter?

Yeah, but after a while, it just sounds old. The fun is fleeting. Real, but fleeting. I find myself losing interest in pursing an increasingly fleeting pleasure. I didn't die before i got old, but that music sure did!

Ok, looking at that article, it seems to take the input out of the wall and then send its out into the components in a more stable form. That I can understand, as well as the reality of "unclean" source current, had that issue for years, although it's better now than it used to be, Used to be, in one house, that the AC coming on would cause interference on the TV. And I've had occasion of noise, random, staticy noise coming out of the speakers from god know where. So I get the function, as well in the need. But hell, I play my records on a 30+ year old system of questionable quality in a room that now has tile floors and ceiling fans. So, no, I don't need this. but I am glad to now better understand what it is and what it does.

No, i mean anything, really. Life goes on. People die. First them, then us, then the new "them", the ones behind us. Your past-bank empties as you age, so keep it full with new things, lest at some point all you have is things that no longer exist. Even memories, because they're worth about as much as anything and they stand a good chance of getting erased just as much as tangible things do. Enjoy them, sure, but just know that it's all going to be gone, one way or another, sooner or later, Just let it go.

"Rock Star" is not just for rock musicians.

Or maybe the same guy, just followed to a logical extreme? "Rock Star" crap.

So is my oatmeal but I know what it is.

But seriously, what does it do? I've heard of these things but have never had - and probably never will have - any type of system to where I would even think to have a need. Still, I'd like to know what it does, just because I'd like to know.

What does it do?

You can hear some really EXCELLENT singing on Johnny Mathis records, I have no compunction against picking them up when the mood strikes.

Oh yes! I just got that one a few months ago and IMMEDIATELY began waxing rhapsodic about it. Lesser albums by more of less the same band have made it to CD, which is a real distortion of what Manne could do in this type bag.

Hey, she used to work for Ike Turner, remember, so anything is possible...but with E. Van Halen, "Valerie" will always mean Bertinelli in my mind. They lasted a helluva lot longer than I expected, but you know, a good woman won't put up with shit forever, a good woman will draw the line at some point, and where it goes from there is up to you, totally up to you. Same holds true for a good man, but I don't know if there's nearly as many of those...

would make a great combo with the Sarah Vaughan "In The Land Of hi-fi" which has some prime Cannonball on it. for that matter...how many of those "in the land of..." sets were there? besides these twq, I find Dinah Washington and Georgie auld, anybody else?

Well?
