It all feels so drive by. I love that all the information you could ever want is at your finger tips, rather than having to wait up 'til like 11pm to hear an interview with John Wetton or Rick Emmett or John Entwistle on terrestrial radio.Not QUITE the same, but it would have done your heart good a couple years ago... I bundled up all my old CD collection for yard sale (5 per bundle, 2 good on the outside, 2 ok, and 1 CRAP) and the younguns were FLOCKING to my old metal albums. All the original big 4, Priest, Annihilator, Death Angel, Savatage, Uriah Heep, Sabbath, Def Leppard etc. they were literally salivating. Not so much the Floyd, Rush, Fleetwood Mac and such... Their parents were grabbing those though. I was pretty surprised actually... I would have figured those going away quicker. But it was terribly gratifying that the younger set had the fire for the old metal I was fired up about back in the day. I guess it still speaks to the teenage angst.LT Streaming don't work for me since I spend a lot of time in places with no connection to the WWW. I've been buying CDs for pennies on the dollar on Amazon, and ripping them at full quality. Automatic backup. Good thing storage is cheap these days. The old iPod is getting pretty full though. May have to look at an alternative player soon. Now playing: Metallica - S&M

Benny Goodman 1938 Carnegie Hall concert - it was the first jazz event played at Carnegie. Full band plus his small groups. The musicianship is astonishing. On Amazon Music.

The musicianship is astonishing. On Amazon Music.They had to be good; there was only one take. Listen to some recordings by Django Reinhardt and his band. One microphone. Each musician would step up to the microphone to do their solo. It is so very wonderful. Thanks for that. My dad was a huge fan of Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli and I hadn’t thought of them in years.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Django_Reinhardt
New? Zero.
