what are you listening to?

[Bob Boyer]

And Larceny isn’t bad. But I’m just about done with this:

Nice stuff. Very nice stuff.

I'm currently trying to swear off enough CCI practice ammo to afford a litre of Bobby Dylan's Heaven's Door bourbon. Gotta find out if you're paying for whiskey or the name, you know. Maybe I can write it off to research, though. That stuff's pricey. After that, I'm on the hunt for a bottle of The Clover from my high school classmate, fellow DJ, best man, and life-long friend Bob Jones. And I just read about this stuff: Uncle Nearest 1856 - which is a high-end homage to Nathan "Nearest' Green, the slave who taught Dan Call and Jack Daniels how to make whiskey.

That's always intriguing for one of the first really popular fully digital albums...

I've got quite a collection of whiskey at this point Bob, but I've not heard of either of those.

But, I am listening to your tape! And I like it so far!

 

[Bob Boyer]

You won't hear much about The Clover, Jim - it's sold only to members of golf & country clubs around the nation. Bob is Bobby Jones' grandson and handles the Bobby Jones brand for Jones Heirs, Inc. which includes him and two sisters and one sisters' son. I don't know who approached him with the idea for the Clover line - there's a rye, a bourbon, and a Tennessee whiskey - but it's marketed only through country clubs. Interesting concept, to say the least. There's a website. As for Uncle Nearest, it is brand new - there's an article in the NY Times about it and its founder as well as in the Nashville Tenneseean, which doesn't hide it behind a paywall.

Glad you're liking the female Americana stuff.

“We play both kinds of music here. Country AND Western.”

I’m into anything at least once. And maybe in a decade I’ll decide I liked what I didn’t like before. And vice-versa. So I have a lot of media (predominantly CD) and it’s all over the map now. When I was younger (pre-teens) I was also open to anything, then in middle/high school age I got rather narrow with my focus, Rush, Yes, Police, Led Zeppelin was about it. A few others. Remember the Hooters?!?

A bit older, I branded into the spin off bands: Robert Plant's solo work (which I still like) Stewart Copeland’s other bands (animal logic among others) and then looking at producers, paying more attention to broadcast music... picked up a few unknown (to me) bands based on suggestions in the book “get better sound” and now I’m way into Jazz, in all its forms. I’m on an Oz Noy binge lately.

Now I can buy CDs for a buck (got another few today) and life is good. Still prefer vinyl but CDs are tough to beat for commercial music. Even the worst skipping scratched disc can be brought back with elbow grease and care. Not so with vinyl. Although I hope to build an ultrasonic cleaner this year. Maybe.

“We play both kinds of music here. Country AND Western.”...

And there IS a difference. Kinda like pulled pork and brisket. Just ask anyone from Texas.

And yes, I remember the Hooters. Was listening to the four cuts from Nervous Night that I actually liked just last night...

 

[J!m]

You will be happy to know I like pulled pork and brisket both.

And that I'm into side two of the XLII-S tape... Your TDK is on deck.

I actually saw the Hooters in concert... Might have been my first 'mainstream' concert. I believe I was 15 since I didn't have a driver's license yet, though I had been driving for several years at my Dad's shop... We had a Dune buggy, wrecker and Renault 16 wagon. The Renault was a 4-speed column shift. The others were typical floor shift.

Got a gift card for my birthday, checked my collection to make sure I wasn't buying duplicates, and went to Walmart:



So I wonder: that little naked baby is an adult by now- is he embarrassed that everyone can see his winkie?

 

[J!m]

More embarrassed that dollar is worth $.30 I think.

I am listening to a great mix tape from Nando, Lots of great tunes that flow perfectly! The bass line on the cover version of My Girl.... fantastic!

Earlier i was back into Iron Butterfly....... but Nando's tape is far more interesting!

Right now I'm listening to the same mix of Nando - Sister Together Obviously is quite popular in Europe.
