Love Tumbleweed Connection. Played several cuts off of it on the FM station back in the day. It let us play Elton without joining in all the overplaying of his hits by our competitors.

And a bit more...

Some jazz for the evening...

You guys been busy. Go on a cruise for a week and this happens...

Truer words were never spoken...

Pretty much everything he recorded was a greatest hit... My list of country artists begins with Waylon and ends with Possum. In between, there's Willie, Merle, Johnny, Kris, Don Williams, and Hoyt Axton.

Yeah, Miles' Tangerine Dream mixes are really special. Love my copies.

My copy of their first album, Pronounced..., is a first pressing. Incredible sound; Al Kooper could produce a record. They played at our senior dance in May 1973 at my high school, just before they broke. Date was a bitch so I took her home and came back to listen to their second set. To say I...

A Creedence Clearwater Revival mix followed by Niel Young's Unplugged album on the digital jukebox. Listened harder than normal to the CCR stuff after reading John Lingan's excellent bio of the band on the cruise last week.

So the missing link showed up. Now there's some more bass to help the DAC. Scott found nothing amiss with the amp after all these months. Only supposition is a speaker wire was grounded across both outputs and I missed it.

Can't remember if it was backcoated or not, Nando. The Roy Buchanan album you sent me on it was quite good sounding, as I recall. I digitized it before getting rid of all the reel to reel stuff a few years back.

They are a hoot, for sure. Saw them at a showcase conference years ago but had no way to fit them into the format I was programming at the time.

A gift from some new friends. Absolutely amazing concert last night, one of my top three from 20 years of presenting these shows. Up there with Dave Mason and Rosanne Cash. If string music/bluegrass/Americana at all appeals to you, this group is not to be overlooked: https://krugerbrothers.com/...

HI Mark, ATR will not let you down. Didn't have any trouble with RMGI, or whatever it's called now, either, but ATR was my go-to tape for critical recordings. Never a note of issue with sticky-shed. I agree with Jim - the backcoated Ampex and Quantegy tapes were the primary offenders, though I...

Been reading a couple of reviews while waiting on either half of tonight's group to show (the quartet is delayed an hour getting out of Chicago and the Krugers themselves are on schedule, driving in from North Wilkesboro, NC). A couple of the reviewers noted a slightly "lean" sound, so it's...
