OT Your Favorite or Most Respected Musical Artist

[gearfreak]

You Techies and players will love this:

Fantastic. I love setting of the action with loose change.

Somebody please get that man a wireless headset though. Imagining a mic on a giant gooseneck sticking out of the guitar - hah! - that will surely injure someone in the end.

Did anybody catch Jeff Beck and Imelda May on PBS last night?

Beck has often used Tal Wilkenfield on bass...bright young girl. Cute as hell too.

SteveMac, ...I think we have some shared interests.

Jerry's become a favorite.
Love Chet's 'Me and Jerry' album.
Just gave away a bunch of nice condition Chet albums to a fellow Altec user in fact.

I'll add:

Howard Roberts Quartet
(if anyone has a decent copy of Jaunty-Jolly (1967) Capitol ST-2716, please, please, save it from the trash for me... ).........
afaik.

I guess we do! I must get the me and Jerry....
Interestingly, I've got the '66 album Movin Man by Howard Roberts...nice version of
Relaxin at Camarillo!

But the two greatest songs to listen on your Altecs to a jazz guitar player is simple.
Get Goin out of My Head by Wes Montgomery and listen to Naptown Blues and Twisted Blues...they are simply the best big band plus guitar playing arrangement I have ever heard...get it! The Altecs will make you cry!!!! The remastered CD and quality of the recording is astonishing...

Albert King, Buddy Guy, and Dan Treanor.

My Favorite and Most Respected Musical Artist at Christmas time would have to involve
Christmas music. If you want to give your system a testing workout with precision voices and powerful
pipe organ, this is the one for uninterrupted critical listening. See if your Altecs can cleanly handle this.
Its traditional Anglican style music without the stuffiness but it still might not appeal to most here.
The reviews tell it all.

What Child Is This CD

My opinion of this would be the same no mater where I live but this just happens to be our
local Pro group in which we are involved. Paul Halley told me himself that this Cd is everything
he hoped for.

Shameless plug?

It is wet and thundery here. Listening to Tony Joe white, Warren Zevon and Joe Walsh. Seems appropriate.

My dream to do the Old Route 66 thing keeps surfacing....sigh.

Nice! Joe Walsh's "Barnstorm", "So What", "The Smoker You Drink..., "But Seriously Folks" are some of my favorites by Joe. He had some great stuff with the James Gang as well.....

For those of us under-somethings out there, I'll add the prolific Frank Black (include Pixies if you care to), and the oft-maligned Pavement.

Was just listening to Pavement "Brighten the Corners" (not their best album but kind of a "different one" for them) produced by Mitch Easter--anyone ever heard of Mitch Easter or his band "Let's Active"? Saw Pavement/Stephen Malkmus on Colbert a couple of months ago--nice interview and performance on that show--it's great that this band got back together. I always got a kick out of this "low budget" video Stephen Malkmus (Pavement's lead singer) did a while back--different from Pavement but still cool.....

Better bring a time machine, there ain't much left to see. Re-reading On The Road would be more entertaining.
