    Hey, youse guyses know (or, at least, know of) Dick Burwen, right?
    He was invoked at audioasylum today (https://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hug/messages/17/178121.html)

    The things a person's gotta do to reproduce the full dynamics of a pair of scissors snipping a piece of paper.

    Last I knew, Mr. Burwen is still active. In fact, he's on LinkedIn.

    He's one of the last of the grand old men of hifi.

    Sorry for the terrible pic - I'm clueless with my phone camera.

    Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Steep Canyon Rangers Thursday night for a "Night You'll Forget for the Rest of Your Lives". Hilarious. And great music. About 2/3 humor and 1/3 music. This was my first time seeing SCR though they're from NC. The fiddler, Nicky Sanders, was featured in the music finale and was amazing. Wish I had seen them with Steve and Edie Brickell. Always liked her music and voice.

    LOL - My girls smile for pictures. My boys like having their picture taken .... about as much as your grandson.

    I can't be positive, but I think she was giving me dirty looks in the rearview for the violation. I was gonna back up, but then I didn't have a sign like this.

    Great pictures on this thread.

    With the NFL Draft going on, I found where these guys worked prior to servicing turntables:

    They were released after the NFC Championship Game:

    our son the mathematician sent me this link to a presentation illustrating the fun of using statistics to describe sets of data. This illustrates something I tell folks all the time; always look at your data; don't just accept the word of a statistics package (or stats from Excel) :)

    https://www.autodeskresearch.com/publications/samestats

    i9q6xbdwhuz1.png

    All of these datasets have the same set of summary statistics.
    Gotta love that.
