I'm listening to Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis.

Good stuff here, fellas.

Son Seals - Bad Axe
1984, Alligator - AL 4738, LP

IMO, one of his finest efforts. "Friday Again" is the quintessential Chicago, electric blues groove.

"He has total command of the instrument, and the result is awsome... ferocious attack, vicious, searing guitar and passionate singing."

Miles Davis - In Person Friday and Saturday Nights at the Blackhawk, San Francisco
1961, Columbia C2Q569, 7.5 ips 4-track tape

It doesn't get any more analogous to real than this. Spectacular sound quality and synergy with my PS Audio/Revel system (this is the first time I've had the reel-to-reel in this setup.) I'm at a center stage table in the club right here on my couch.

THANK YOU to Dave James for this aural delicacy!

I see you got your ears on Mike! You must be in a San Francisco state of mind. Although lefty was a Seattle guy.

I've got Chris Botti "Duets" going on after some Allison Krauss "New Favorite".

Try this one out guys, it's good stuff. He's a local Chicago guy and also is the lead singer of the band Dolly Varden.

10 cc - Live And Let Live
1977, Mercury SRM-2-8600, (2)LP

So, you can go out on the street and take your chances
But if you do, you better do it right
Or you won't feel the benefit, won't feel the benefit
Spin the wheel and take your chances
And your number might come up
Though the odds may be in favor of the house

If all the people in the world would say together
We're all black and white, we're all day and night
If all the people in the world could sing together
How would it sound, what would we feel

We'd all feel the benefit

Otis Rush - Ain't Enough Comin' In
1994, Mercury/Quicksilver 314 518 769-2, CD

Mostly covers in this excellent offering. If you're a fan of Chicago blues, you know who Otis Rush is and what his contributions are. If not, you've undoubtedly heard his licks reprised by the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Sean Costello, Peter Green, and Eric Clapton.

Your wife has impeccable taste. My pressing of this album carries my prestigious "blue dot" on the cover protector. It must have been a very early run. The dynamics and sound quality are off the hook.

Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture: Telarc. My wife said it sounded like a war was being fought in the house. LOL

Ravel: Bol

You have the LP? I gotta get me one of those.

She wanted me to tell you that she listened to ENVOUGE a couple of times on the rig and she said that their harmony sounds awesome on the 1/2 TLs.

Johnny Winter, Pine Top Perkins, Walter Horton, Jerry Portnoy, and Jimmy Rogers as side men! Winter's solo on 'Copper Brown' is one of his finest ever.
