I will have to re-spin and pay closer attention to this track.

Mel Torme - Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head - Capitol, with the awesome early 70s green and purple label. Includes THEE DEFINITIVE version of "Sunshine Superman!" By the way, this was the last album I spun on Saturday night. It would be way too wild for Sunday morning!

Anything by Rodgers & Hart.

Not an excuse, but Latino musicians tend to have a definite idea of how Latin music should or should not be played. My point is that nearly every Latin musician who I've played with seems to have a mental block with "Cubano Chant." Just reporting from my experience; I'm not saying it's good or bad.

I would agree, but I am not Latino. I guess it's a cultural thing.

It's not quite Monday, but here is Michio Kaku's website: http://mkaku.org

The first album, Surfin' Safari, was mono and Duophonic. All the 1963-64 albums (Surfin' USA through Christmas Album) received dedicated mono and stereo mixes. Beginning in 1965: Capitol did a stereo mix of The Beach Boys Today! and Brian rejected it. That stereo mix is believed lost. All the Beach Boys' 1965-1967 albums (Today through Wild Honey) were mixed only in mono, and the stereo versions were Duophonic. Friends (1968) was the first new Beach Boys album mixed in stereo since the 1964 Christmas album. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. Chuck Britz is credited with the stereo mixes. He apparently monitored them in mono. They also had to rig the board to do stereo mixes, meaning that the vocals and instruments had to faded separately in stereo. That's why so many of the early Beach Boys stereo mixes have those wonky fades where the instruments fade prematurely.

The Beach Boys - All Summer Long (Capitol MONO!) SO SO SO MUCH BETTER in mono!!!

Wynton and Santana were both embarrassing. Their segments were too long to suffer through but too short to fast forward over. Otherwise, this was really good.

OK. Understood.

From the syntax, it is unclear if Gopnik was paraphrasing something written by Webber. Not that I would ever ask anyone to suffer through a memoir of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
