    I just discovered that Apple Music has added the Holly Dunn discography. Except for "Daddy's Hands" you rarely hear her. Holly Dunn died at the age of 59 on November 14th 2016. I was overjoyed to see the album Cornerstone. It was released in 1987 and only on Vinyl. Even the record has never...

    "Ue o Muite Arukō ( which has the insulting Title of Sukiyaki outside of Japan) Sung by Kyu Sakamoto, lyrics by Rokusuke Ei

    Moving through my music library on Apple Music and I ran across this song which rekindled an outrage I have forgotten about. Ue o Muite Arukō ( Japanese: 上を向いて歩こう, "I Look Up as I Walk") was considered to hard to pronounce so its name was changed to Sukiyaki with its release in the US in...

    Battle: LA Original Soundtrack

    I reported of this wonderful soundtrack back in 2011. Now I am listening to it on Apple Music, lossless using the FiiO K7 DAC/Amp with the wonderful Shure SE-535's on the Mac Studio. It is like I have never heard it before. As I observed at the time the movie is actually pretty good, and the...

    Masters of The Air, The final episode.

    They got it right. It helps to know the history of what you are seeing you can read between the lines. One of the things that is rarely talked about is in the final weeks of the war in Europe heavy bombing slacked off. B-17's were based in France by this time. Heavy bombers were loaded with...

    Roku locking Roku TV's unless their new TOS are agreed to.

    I think it must be Roku TV's if they tried to do the with the Roku box it would be pulled and trashed. When the Amazon Prime Video app appeared on the Apple TV that was the day I removed the Firestick.

    There are CD's than there are CD's from Japan.

    13 years ago here there was a question about this and it needs refreshing. I am again purchasing CD's many of them from Japan, the EU and the UK. These are CD's never released in the States or are completely out of print, not on any streaming service, and no CD available stateside. Japanese...

    I have have had FiiO BT DAC/Amps for years even with Bluetooth they sound great. It was not until directly I plugged the BTR7 into the Mac Studio that I learned just how good these FiiO DAC/Amps are. I finally hooked up the K7, it took longer to unbox it that it did getting it going. I knew...

    Roku locking Roku TV's unless their new TOS are agreed to.

    Just learned of this on Apple News. Roku has published new TOS that unless they are agreed to the Roku TV will be disabled. I have not used a Roku in about 10 years once I added an Apple TV there was no longer a reason to have it. Roku bragged about have many hundreds of channels but most of...

    Shapton Whetstones. You would have to spend a lot of money to get anything better.

    An interesting thing about Steels, and honing rods, they look alike but are different. A honing steel trues rolled edges on a knife blade, a sharpening rod actually removes some metal from the blade to correct badly rolled edges. Another thing I learned an antique steel will not work with the...

    Using my AirPod Pro 2's

    It is funny before I started to use the Apple AirPod Pro 2. I observed that I would no wear them outside of the house for fear of losing them. With the Comply expandable foam sleeves they stay put in my ears no matter what. Now it is the wired BT earphones that don't leave the house. The way...
