  7. Well that was a brief bit of warmth, cold snap is here and the temperature will lower over the next few days. Sigh. Starting off the morning with a different input tube in the SEWE300B and things are sounding very good. I listened again to the 10" Tal Farlow of the McGhee/Farlow disc I had finished up listening to yesterday, and now am listening to the third disc of “Classic V-Disc Big Band Jazz Sessions” Mosaic Records 10 disc set.
  8. I play some guitar and I love jazz guitar the most, more than other guitar work in other genres. I also play some bass, and piano, and peformed as a drummer. I would love to have a piano here but have no space (as it would have to be a baby grand or a grand). . . so I play guitar more than any other instrument, and Tal Farlow's talent just astonishes me.

  13. Been tweaking my LP playback a bit last night and this morning–different isolation feet on the phono preamp and adjusted the counterweight on the tone arm a bit. This LP sounds amazing today! John Coltrane “Crescent” LImited Edition Impulse LP reissue
  14. Wow, it will be 46 degrees today. A heat wave! And . . . no snow. Watched seven deer walk across our back yard into our side yard and then across the road into the forest. They are active in the heat (29 degrees right now) and seemed happy, looking for food. I love my sylvan world.
