Any brass player from the mid-70's to... much later, was a fan of Maynard Ferguson. I personally didn't care for his somewhat sloppy style, but no one can deny he was the second-best trumpet screamer of our age. The other great thing about him was how he nurtured up-and-coming young musicians...

RSV is the first few alpha-numerics of the receiver I'm considering, in the link above. I don't even need a soundbar for watching TV news, which is about the only thing I watch on the TV beyond DVD/Bluray concerts, and for them I have my built-in 5.1 Monitor Audio speaker system, no sound bar...

:blush: I am a bit acronym-challenged...

Bob James, and two unknown (to me) rhythm players (the bass player looks like Jim Carrey); a very nice rendition of "Taxi".

This was kinda hard to take, but I have to admit that my TV/receiver issues (both 13 years old) were NOT caused by my TV, but rather my receiver's HTML output stage going kaput; it can't be repaired. I'd replaced my 47" LG "local-dimming" LCD with a 55" Sony OLED this Spring, and the picture...

I follow Caleb's ewetube channel and his crew recently moved into a new space, and he talks about acoustic treatments and vintage gear. The middle third of the video is essentially a commercial for BDI products, but their coffee table has me very intrigued! Enjoy.

This is fun.

:) I'm greeted with a view of the mighty Wasatch every morning from my front door, and the Ochre (pronounced "oh-ker") mountains out the back porch. If I drive just a little bit east, get to see/hike the Uintahs, the only North American range that runs east/west [/geek]. Hiked the Sandias...

Ran across this very early DEVO video this evening, and I can't help but chuckle.

Time-lapse of the French Alps, in 4K. I've been to France a couple of times but didn't realize these landscapes existed there. https://petapixel.com/2023/08/11/journey-through-the-french-alps-in-this-beautiful-4k-timelapse/

Okay. I'd not really watched this series much before, mostly because "Sheldon" was my least-favorite character on the old Friends show, which I watched a bit when I was stationed in ND because it was -25˚ outside and dark since 3:30 pm. But tonight it came on when I was distracted, and it...

Here the guys on the "Dead Wax" channel compare and constrast Jaco's "Teen Town" (from Heavy Weather) to Vulfpek's "Dean Town" (not a comparison I would've caught). With guest Adam Neely (a monster musician/teacher). The discussion gets deep in the weeds where only a musician would enjoy, but...

>Bump!< https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2023/08/09/rodriguez-sugar-man-dead/ Rodriguez died yesterday, age 89. I need to dig out his CDs and give them another listen.

It was fun. Yeah, just a few drops of rain, when you're 20˚ from horizontal... :shocked:

Shoot. After doing some digging it looks like NBC had been showing all races this year, first I've noticed!

The races I've caught so far were both in the US (so only 2 televised races/season), but I see today at 1:00 MST they're broadcasting today's race in Great Britain, w00t! I hope they eventually broadcast all the races, would hold me over until football season.

My turn. Prices have escalated in the last two years, owch! Lennox heat pump, 22 SEER, 99%-efficient, with a lifetime P&L guarantee (we'll see how that holds up when a compressor goes out in 15 years). Replaced an R22 A/C and gas furnace, both 23 years old. I was disappointed that it was as...

Interesting; what is the purpose of the rods?

Blast From The Past, but it feels like they never left. Pomplamoose, her singing in French, with a loud drum loop, a 3-note flugel solo, and Larry Goldings (Larry Golding Jr?) on weirdo keys. Beautiful.

Digging thru Roger Nichols' estate his daughter found this completed Schlitz beer commercial, by The Dan! It never aired, possibly because even in the 70's what they did with helium could be considered racist (<== and that's a sentence I never expected to write)...
