Seeing John Hiatt live that is.

His voice is beginning to give out. Saw him Friday night. Took about four songs to get over the very rough spots but the rest of the night was marginal IMO.

sure ok,

your random thoughts haven't been so stellar lately either.

but.....whatever

No more Wham bAm Thank You Ma'am

Hi Jesse

Couldn't differentiate really for critic, and I don't normally comment on your stuff as I don't 'get it',  but this is bloody good, my wife asked wtf was I listening too and as Lynn said, John and Yoko came to mind ...not sure if she believed me ... don't think so ..... Thanks, and for what it's worth the mix is spot on for this stuff.

Steve

that is a great story,

I am happy that your woman tolerates you so early in the morning

she must be a gem stone

keep her close

I even did it a few times just to be sure I wasn't 'drunk at the time' something went nutzo.

you used some great phrasing

"did it a few times"

"to be sure I wasn't drunk"

"something went nutzo."

 

the truth will set you FREE

scrolling is good,

depending on my state of mind.

Kenny, forgive me for my effrontery,

but that does not look like your Duke,

the duke I know always has a smile,

but if it is your duke, well, I apologize.

I hope he feels better soon.

Cool, nice playing, and neat use of woodwinds(?)

Just very nice use of instruments that I don't hear often in my world.

excellent piece

you should make a video collage with this, to share with the rest of your family.

I've seen dozens of genealogies, charts, diagrams and such, but I've never seen that one (nor could I find it with a quick Google search - your version is too small to read).  Do you have a link to a larger one?  Looks interesting.  All of my research is, naturally, in Excel along with the rest of my life! ?

here is a link to a store that sells it.  It has some thumbnails that enlarge parts of the poster.  It looks like you could get lost in there for awhile. Might even expose you to some artists missing from your Excel spreadsheet.

This is pretty.  Like the poem as well.  This is the type of music I hear on channel 10 all the time, PBS

love it  needs lyrics, but pry not.

sue wish i could hear this

I just found a 688!

gave a little jack for it, but it was worth it.

This is indicative of what can be done?

 

Jou banked it baby!

Hey, what I think you have done here is extend your love into music?

You are a caregiver, and an expressive element.

Tell your beloved that I felt this, and I cried.

This is great!

I have two "problems," one is I like a LOT of different styles/genres/types of music and the other is I definitely have a "completionist" mentality.  Note that I'm pretty happy with my "problems" though! ?

I still remember a member of another forum who ONLY listened to Southern Rock and couldn't understand how people could listen to anything else (yes, he got SLAMMED by the rest of the forum members - LOL!).  I literally can go into these modes where I'll listen to a single genre or subgenre for a few days then completely change to another. 

Before I started organizing my collection I spent quite a bit of time researching all of the so-called genres and subgenres out there so I could group things.  That turned out to be VERY eye-opening!  Besides the obvious fact that there are vast disagreements among people out there, I was literally shocked at how many labels there were!  HUNDREDS!  My first efforts actually didn't label anything but simply made groups of music that sounded good together.  I really liked this approach, but it was nearly impossible to find anything...  So, I ended up choosing a couple of dozen primary genres with at least a hundred subgenres.  An example for an artist might tag them as "Rock" but with "Classic," "Pop," "70's," and "Female Vocalist" as subgenres.  Once all my tracks are in and tagged I'll be able to make playlists for whatever I feel like.

Although I do have a few examples of types I don't care for (some bought out of curiosity, others to have something for friends that like a style), I've got a lot of those that I really like, but also quite a bit of those that I can appreciate the musicianship of.  I've found that the few I can't stand tend to only know a few words (usually expletives) or aren't what I consider musical (a lot of Rap and Pop, though most songs with Cookie Monster vocals completely turns me off too).

have you completed the tree?

Thanks Jesse, but my birthday is not until Feb 7th (the same day in 1964 that The Beatles landed in the US for the fist time).

Better late than never!

I never thought about what my studio smells like, I'll have to get back to you.

but Happy Birthday!

and everybody else too

When I was young I had over 2,000 records.  They took up a LOT of room!  After literally listening to my first CD I sold all my records and began collecting CD's (often 100 at a time to get killer discounts).  I don't even remember how many thousands of CD's I eventually ended up with.  They took up even more room!  I used to have four of those Sony CD jukeboxes for the 1,400 CD's I wanted to listen to the most (LOL!).  I had two 400's and two 300's.

Once iTunes (the jukebox app) came around, I began ripping the CD's to disk.  I had an external bay with four 250 GB hard drives in it (the largest I could find at the time), but it didn't take long to fill it using .WAV files and I still had thousands of CD's still to go.  I also bought iPods as they came out working my way from a 40 GB (now dead), to two 60 GB ones (I have one and I put a bunch of music on the other for my Mother), an 80 GB and, finally, a 160 GB.  I still use one of the 60's, the 80 GB and the 160 GB iPods all the time, however, I really needed to put a smaller format on them so I did a test.  Back in 2003, I played .mp3's of a few songs at various resolutions on a $4,000 stereo system.  128 kbps and 160 kbps sucked but, once I got to 192 kbps, I couldn't hear anything different as I went higher.  So I settled on 192 kbps for everything.  It took months to rip everything to disk (I converted the previously ripped wave files to .mp3 first).  iTunes basically became useless after about 30,000 songs so I switched to Media Monkey which was designed for large collections.  Then it took even more months to import almost 200,000 songs into it (I'm very OCD about all the organizing and tagging).  I can import between 1,000 and 1,500 tracks in an 8-hour period (between the actual importing and my fixing the tags which includes researching genres, subgenres, correct release years, song titles and special extras like identifying live, demo, bonus and special tracks, etc.).  I still have about 150,000 tracks still to import!

Oh, and when I lost almost everything back in the 2009 "Credit Crunch", I had to give all of the CD's away.  That sucked.  So I'm glad I had something on disk to listen to because music is almost always playing while I work (and when I'm not!).  Now, when I buy new stuff (which I'm still doing all the time - heh!), I either get it on Amazon or from Bandcamp.  I have NO idea how much I've spent on buying music over my lifetime, but I know I've spent well over $40,000 just on the CD's from back when I kept track! ?

Whoa!

I imagine there are others in the world with more music, but that is one herculean endeavor!

 

Rock on!
