Counterpoints do like fresh tubes...

Oh hell yes.

Procul Harum's Best Of.. and Pure Prairie League's Bustin' Out here from the computer files.

That Steve Miller is kind of rare - my brother gave me the CD as a Christmas gift back in '89 or '90. I found the record a few years ago in pretty decent shape. I think people bought it thinking it was his usual stuff and an album may have only been played once or twice unless someone...

Currently, the sound of rain and thunder. Power to the rig is switched off and I'm running from the laptop in case the power goes out. Latest storm is passing through. Love the rain; apparently we had a very dry winter from the number of fires in the region.

Got a pit and able-bodied pit masters at the ready, Gene?

Are you referring to vinyl or to hi-res digital? Most of the improvement I hear is in the re-mix and remaster but the pressing quality (or lack thereof) has turned me off of vinyl unless it's a QRP pressing.

Absolutely loved his turns as Morrison and in Heat, one of my all-time favorite movies. Tombstone was great, too. Still, that final scene with Tom Cruise in Top Gun Maverick was a gem. A true talent, gone far too soon.
