No, I didn't misunderstand you sir, I just was stating my indifference to the thread subject prson. . . .And my hope that his doctor is one of the very best.

I'm laughing still!

I'm totally indifferent to the guy, and it's easy to get sick of the publicity about him here in Austin (though he's for the most part moved away now I hear). My one concern is that his oncologist was as good as one might think he was. .. as he has become my wife's doctor. . . .

Thanks, due to some really bad news last week, I really really needed that good big laugh!

I have a nice Harmon Kardon I think is a good machine. When I really have something I want to get the very best out of I borrow a trumpeter friend of mine's Nakamiche.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. .. . I don't agree with that assessment though!

I've listened to cassettes quite recently actually. I have about 100 at work I listen to on a Sony boom box that I keep on a bookcase behind me. I have about 100 of several bands I was in in the late eighties that I will probably tranfer to cdr or maybe even dvdr (lots of playing time available on some of the recording lengths) as back up in case I actually wanta to listen to these in twenty or thirty years. . . . With a good cassette deck fidelity on cassettes can be surprising. Better than early digital on a cheap cd player.

I'm thankful for A Love Supreme as well. It's a benchmark of passionate, sincere musical expression. It's a recording that has had a strong place in my listening world and that has made me THINK and FEEL in ways others haven't. Thanks JC! And Jim, thanks for running this board the way that you do! You're making perfect sense.

I have the Vogue digipak releases. Great sound quality!

Yes, that one looks intriguing. . . and another Ella Jukebox release!

I just do a google search for images. . . . I put in "Pigpen" and got those!

"Hmmm. . . I wonder if I resemble that remark. . . ."

Okay, a little checking made me believe that they're basically the same operationally (some editing things are possible with + that aren't with -) but that - are more compatible with more dvd players.

I know what you mean about the performers being right there in a way different from other speakers. That's how I experience sound in my room with my speakers. In a bigger room than my little listening room the effect is even more pronounced!

Looks pretty cool! My Radial RL2 speakers have a forward firing ribbon tweeter and an upwards firing speaker, and give an amazing sound that I love. . . . I bet yours sound very cool! (Sort of my speakers, the RL1.5s that replaced them in the line)

I just bought a really slick Sony dvd recorder/vcr. I want to use it to transfer videos of musical performances to dvd from vhs. This machine will use DVD+ and DVD- media. . . . I bought some DVD+ Maxell blanks and burned one two hour dvdr, really easily and successfully. I don't quite understand the difference between the + and - media and which may be the most practical both fiscally and operationally. If anyone can enlighten me, thanks.

Saw this photo while listening to "You Don't Know the Shape I'm In" from the Last Waltz four cd set. . . Seemed oddly appropriate!

well, all this makes sense and is not really surprising. I just wish I had not postponed burning the six cds of Acid Test material that was on line last weekend! That's really the last of the material I wanted to download that I hadn't yet!

Cool, I've never seen the movie and I couldn't find CC listed with it in a quick search. Still my vote as the loveliest of avatars. Every avatar Elis has posted has been my favorite. Post more madamoiselle!

He's going to like it!

I've avoided this show. I like the busty scientist though. . . . She was a busty lawyer on Boston Legal and played about with James Spader.

Just got the Blakey, Gordon, and Brookmeyer last night! Whew! I bet this has to do with the copyprotection. . . they may be back in noncopyprotected fomr? (I haven't checked those I receive to see if they are protected or not),

Who is she? I believe that is Sandra Milo. The image in the avatar is from "8 1/2"

YAY! Congrats!
