  1. Congo To Cuba - Putumayo - Various artists First time for me, let's see if it's any good...
  2. "Thunder And Lightning" - Chi Coltrane This gal can rock on vocals and piano
  3. I back up my data every day - Microsoft's Sync Toy utility makes it quick and easy. I backup by making HD clones at least twice a week plus another backup either before Microsoft installs an update, when I add any app to my HD, or if I've done a lot of critical work. This has saved me a few times. Example: I bought a guitar pedal, and it came with a free Cubase LE CD-ROM. I hadn't tried Cubase in years, so I thought I'd give it a go. I made a clone and started the Cubase install. It quit in the middle of the installation. I rebooted the computer, and it wouldn't complete the reboot asking me if I want to finish the installation. I said YES, and it locked up in the same place. I booted in the Safe Mode and tried to uninstall Cubase, but the next time I restarted I got the same message. So I did a complete restore from the clone, trashed the CD-ROM, and went about my business as if nothing happened but that little adventure. In addition to my normal backups, on a second external drive that gets removed from the system, I make a disk clone once per month and store many months of clones. That way if I get a virus or ransomware I can go back to a pre-infected state. Computers are replaceable, data is often not. Insights and incites by Notes
  4. I believe the Wrecking Crew played the instruments on this cut because the Dead's live cuts aren't the same. It's my favorite Dead song. Casey Jones - Grateful Dead
  5. I make backup disk clones. Because there are only two kinds of computer users, those who have had a HD crash, and those who haven't had a HD crash YET. I have my first laptop (ThinkPad) with a SSD, and loading apps is amazingly fast.
  6. My analog saxophones are nice, although sometimes the reeds are a PITA.
  7. Captain Marvel - Stan Getz Quartet (featuring a young piano player Stan 'discovered' and hired, Chick Corea) Stan said he wanted to be a piano player so he hired great ones whenever he could.
  8. I also play flute and have never seen anything like this. Ooooh I've got GAS already
  9. Symphony #4 - Dmitri Shostakovich - Valery Gergiev / Mariinsky Theatre orchestra Dmitri released #5 first and didn't release #4 until after Stalin died fearing Stalin would send him to the salt mines for this.
  10. Chick has returned to forever - RIP, and thanks for the music One of my favorites by Mr. Corea Spain - Chick Corea and Return To Forever
  11. Good luck! I hope it inspires you to come up with something that the world wants and is willing to pay you for. Notes
  12. I like going to the beach with girls because I'm a water chestnut.
  13. Lonnie Mack got the first production Gibson Flying V guitar (serial number 5) and was one of Rock's early guitar gods. Wham! - Lonnie Mack
