    Just finished what may be the Classical SACD now in the collection.
    George Szell/Cleveland Orchestra-"Orchestral highlights from the Ring of the Nibelungs". If this doesn't grab you by the short and curlies (even the non-classical listeners) i'd be suprised. "Giant" sound to clear and defined subtle strings, triangles and brass.

    You're bringing this to Troy's, I trust...

    George was the last, and possibly the greatest, of the old-school, dictatorial Conductors. In the 60's the Cleveland SO, which was held by many to be the finest in the world at the time, tried to go union.... George told them they could not... and they didn't.

    Me? I've been visiting with Mrssrs. Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

    The Atlantic Years covers all their essential stuff, preserves the track orders of their individual releases, and is nicely remastered.
    More later,

    Boz Scaggs - My Time: The Anthology (1969-1997)

    B000002AI2.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_V65929393_.jpg

    I believe Tour recommended this one to me. It is a very good album, but I wish it had included more pre "Silk Degrees" material. The R&B cuts from his early albums are excellent. I guess it just means I have to buy those albums to see if the entirity is as good as the sampling on this compilation. That said, this 2 CD set certainly shows how Scaggs morphed his style over time all the while retaining his R&B roots. If you want a good "taste" of Boz Scaggs...this is the ticket. Be careful though...it may leave you wanting more.

    Yup... that would be me. Prolly from the old RnR Rem days...

    Agree on early Boz releases being the best, e.g., S/T, Moments, Boz Scaggs and Band, and My Time. But the compilation has a good amount of these including "Loan Me a Dime" which is worth the price of admission alone...
    More later,

    Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation-Live in Italy 2005 bootleg radio show

    Awaiting my DVD copy of the most recent Soundstage Show at the House of Blues which is on perpetual back order. :mad: . Try to help support Public Television by buying offically released products and this is what happens. :( :mad: Hope it comes soon. The songs off of Mighty Rearranger are fantastic and his band is phenominally tight and the new twists on old Zep songs is brilliant. Talk about someone not resting on his past and becoming a relic, like umm......oh let'se see cough..cough Rolling Stones cough...cough The Who cough....cough Rod Stewart ;)

    Like a fine bottle of wine perfectly aged and ready for drinking. This music gets me all warm inside. Very very enjoyable

    Listening to an excellent Gershwin collection that I discovered recently from a rather unexpected source: a British pianist playing and conducting a provincial Danish orchestra I'd never heard before. Fully in tune with Gershwin's jazz-influenced rhythms and melodies and given very good sound.

    John Legend . . . Save Room

    This guy is a rapper. He is very very good. I don't like rap as a general rule but when some good R & B and Rap are a guys forte it comes out really good and John Legend has both.

    Electric Six -- Senor Smoke
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Great Stuff Mike . . . .did you ever see Alice Cooper in concert? I saw him four times back in the 70s. Each time he was executed in concert. Once beheaded guillotine, next hung, next firing squad, next drawn & quartered. Despite the goryness his musical performances in each concert was wonderful.
