Wow! Nice job Frank!

Gracias mi amigo!

Nicely done.

Thanks Lou. That's what all the classical music was about today. I concentrate better with classical. It was a nice dreary, rainy, windy day here on the coast and there was nothing much to do. So I broke out the paints and had some fun.

I'm not a big Asia fan either. Still nice to play these albums occasionally. I can't remember the last time I listened to the GTR album.

Hi Brother P-Man and Brother @FOH Engineer: that is why I scored it the way I did. Performance = 5/10, SQ = 6/10. I figured there was a reason this is only like the 2nd or 3rd time I've ever listened to it since I bought the CD when it first came out in 1986 and on CD. It's not like it is un-listenable, but when you hear the name Steve Howe is in the band, I guess you hope for and expect a lot more. I remember that was all the hype that got me to buy it in the first place. Let's Time Travel back to 1986, quote from a friend, and I quote ""Dude, Man, You Gotta get the new GTR album when it comes out, Steve Howe is the lead guitar and pretty much main dude man, he's the head of the band dude!, You gotta get it!""

LOL, funny to think of 80's - they were the best years of my younger adult life.

That does look like fun!

This is a much better off the wall Steve Howe effort. 1950's hard bop jazz. Steve's Gibson E3175D, his son Dylan on drums, and Ross Stanley on Hammond organ. Imagine Siberian Khatru as Jimmy Smith would have played it.

OK, the Jimmy Smith comparison is really stretching it, but you get the idea.

Listening to all that classical music this afternoon I made some pretty good progress on the Uncle Carlito project. Almost finished.
Would have been done long ago if I hadn't have stopped six weeks ago.

Hey Frank - That looks great! What steady hands you must have - precision! just in time for Halloween. Funny, I'm creative in other ways, but art (drawing by hand, painting, etc...) is not one of them. Nice work!

Thanks Chris. The outlining everything in black is what's killing me. It's making me turn my hand constantly while attempt to keep the brush flowing. I'm a total failure at it.

Fuzz , I think one of the best things about the vintage jazz scene is that high quality albums are out there to be found that go almost ignored in many used stores..an endless catalog of titles seems to exist as well..My collection is finally getting large enough to take it out of general population and give them seperate storage shelving.
I just feel kind of stupid for having let it take this long..

I think not Frank - You are quite the artist! It looks awesome. Would love to have the finished piece to put on top of my Stereo Rack, right below the "Blue Cave Signs"

Amazing live album from '87. The sound guy dials it in after the first 30-40 seconds which sound like ass.

Edit: this is a first listen streamIng. Definately one that is worth tracking down on vinyl. Just not the same even at the highest resolution.

Have never seen the pic disk. Pretty cool

Hey Friends,

Need your positive energy, prayers, etc... I'm on a level 5 CVS Nausea ramp - This scares me when this happens - the cycle needs to break now - don't want to go to the hospital. Keeping myself distracted with our thread and will continue with some soothing Classical music.

Now Playing : 1987 - Handel - Messiah, Andrew Davis,Toronto Orchestra (EMI CDS-7490272) EAC FLAC's



Thanks My Friends! - Chris

Haven't heard this in a bit:

Robbie's still on this one...

@OnTheBlitz if it’s a cycle you need to weather the storm and it will smooth out. Just think in small bits, make it through the next 15 minutes and take it from there. Let the cycle work it’s way through. Wishing you strength bud...
