Goof stuff.

Saw Les Dudek open for Jimmy Buffet who opened for Jackson Brown. I liked his music just fine.

Well, I did back in the early 80's. Enola Gay was a pretty popular tune on our local Public Radio New Music Show, think I had their first three LPs.

Saw them in 82.

I still like them and have a handful of their albums.

Awesome line up!

Thanks , got to see them a few times back in the 80’s

It’s that global warming they’ve been talking about... oh wait! That doesn’t make sense

As much sense as global warmimg.

1978 German issue.

The patch in the upper right had a name and phone number. I easily tracked it down to Dr. John X. XXXX, a PhD in English from the University of Pennsylvania. He's been at Santa Clara University for 40+ years, which is couple miles from me. He took care of this record. It's pristine, black and freakishly shiny and it's in a VRP Disc Washer sleeve.

Thanks, Dr. John!

Awesome, congrats and welcome back! Here is a mini set just for you, Leebob:

I was working on my friends lawn with him once, trimming some bushes, and I was attacked by these alien-looking insectoids (bees? wasps?); they were black with purple stripes (rather than yellow with black). Weirdest %#^+ I've seen, and they hurt. Never did figure out what species they were, though.

Earlier: "Sound Opinions" podcast with Greg Kot and Jim DeRogatis

Commute Home (About to Un-Pause-- Had to stop for dinner): Count Basie and the Count Basie 7/small group, "Basie Jam"

GJ thank you. A great set. Played the Carmen McRae and was stuck by how good the piano player was(guitarist was not bad either) Was this version on the Bittersweet Lp?
Then I played the Dexter Gordon version
Billie Holiday ... incredible!
Johnny Hartman is tooooo good. Replaying as I write this.
Here's where I went down the rabbit hole. Lou Rawls - On A Clear Day after Lou finished then I played Johnny Hartman's version. Then I played Sarah Vaughan's version, then Carman McRae's version.
As for Hothouse Flowers I think I have heard that before but not sure. So I played "Don't Go"... not bad
Thanks for the music!...Lee

I love my Stantons and Pickering cartridges. The thing is how good are our ears. It would very from person to person. I know my right ear is not the same as my left due from stand with a drummer smashing cymbals on my right side for decades. So my point is you can spend 100grand for a turn table set up but the weak link will still be the most important one. Your ears.

As a 40 year pro player and live sound engineer I can say without question that the drummers that bash cymbals all night have no clue as to how badly they disrupt and destroy a live mix. Thank God for ancient thin tarnished Zildjian cymbals, and the mature tone conscious pro's that use them. Versus the hack bashing a 1/4 inch thick 20" crash cymbal through an entire chorus and eating the vocals alive and making himself look like a toddler having a temper tantrum. The hacks usual response is of course turn the vocals up..

Spread the music maybe it will fix all that is wrong in the world. We can hope anyway!
