Doing some late night listening. I love the superior low-level resolution that I have. I find myself listening at lower volume because I can.

Scratch Illuminations off that list. I can't listen to it. It is utterly terrible. Switching back to Diana.

Ottmar Liebert - Nouveau Flamenco

amazing wooden resonance on Ottmar's guitar on this recording. Has lots of space and air.

FWIW: Many of his recordings were mastered using Gallo speakers. I am not sure if they still are. I remember seeing a photo of them inside one of the CD jackets (think it was The Hours Between Night + Day).

I just googled and Anthony Gallo is listed as a monitor engineer for several of his recordings.

E-Rotic "Missing You"

E-Rotic is one of those guilty pleasures

Totally pointless CD that is 120 bpm most of the way through (eurodance group), but has tons of shading and LOADS of production. I have really never "listened" to it before... and I begrudgingly have to admit it. It is kind of fun :-)

Hey Art! Go to krtu.org at 6pm your time tonight and every Tuesday and listen to "The Jitterbug Waltz Hour". I think you'll like it.

Thanks for the heads up. It's a work night and I don't get home until 6:00 pm PST. I get up at 3:30 and head to work at 6:00 am...After work I zone and watch Law and Order or HGTV then hit the hay at 8:00 pm (lights out at 9:00). I occasionally listen to Fire FM between 7:00 and 8:00 pm. What's Jitterbug Waltz...doesn't sound very appetizing...lol!

Oh, I didn't realize you worked so late Art. The Jitterbug Waltz Hour is a jazz show on Trinity University's KRTU. It's hosted by gentleman named Bradly Kaiser. He's well versed in jazz and usually plays records. I only recall him playing a cd once. It was Michael Brecker's "Pilgrimmage". Otherwise, old recordings that only ever made it to vinyl. I could be wrong, but you strike me as the type who would really enjoy the show. Not just the music, but Bradly's demeanor and discussion of the records he plays etc. He sometimes has local musicians in the studio that he talks to about the records. It's very pleasant. If your wife likes jazz, she'd probably enjoy it too. I wish my wife liked jazz.

The station broadcasts on 91.7 FM which I listen to when I venture into San Antonio and has live streaming audio on the internet. The site krtu.org also has a week long archive so you could listen to it sometime over the weekend.

Wife loves Jazz. We have probably the best Jazz FM station in the country at KMHD in Portland. Unfortunately we can't get it in the house unless we stream it and then the sound quality sucks.

Generally I have the ugly hrs only Monday through Thursday as I have Fri-Sun off. My long day is Thursday when I get up at 3:30 and then go to be late because it's my Friday. This week we have tomorrow off due as it's our Anniversary, then Monday off due to MLK day.

that's a nice schedule Art. I wish I could work 10 hrs a day, 4 days a week.

I know computer audio generally sucks. The only remedy is if your pc has a digital coax out that you can run to a good DAC (24 bits or better) or running usb to a DAC. Then run the audio outs to your system. I plan to do this after I move. For the time being, I use the speakers built into the monitor with my old subwoofer. The sub makes it sound decent at least.

Don't let the name "Jitterbug Waltz" fool you. It really is a great show. I really believe you and your wife would enjoy it.

Have an EXTREMELY happy anniversary!

Relaxed, went to a movie then dinner. Followed that up with the music you see above (post 13,824). Good stuff!

Later this weekend...John Lee Hooker from the wonderful box set I received in the mail yesterday.

Thank you very much, Jan. It's an outstanding set. I have and will continue to take your advice from the note you included. Those are the things that enrich us. Thank you again, Jan.

That sounds like an enjoyable time Art. My wife & I usually go to the melting pot for our anniversary. We get a private booth and take our time. It takes about 3 hrs to complete a meal, but in the end, it's timeless!

Wanna hear something crazy Art? Check out Pat Boone's cd, "In A Metal Mood" ('96) He covers 12 songs, mostly metal, some borderline metal in big band jazz. The Dio tune, "Holy Diver", came out the best IMO. His version of Ozzy's "Crazy Train" was used as the theme song for "The Osbournes. I didn't care for the show, but his cover made me want to hear the rest of the disc.

I heard about it then too Art. However, you'd be surprised how many people don't know about it. I guess for most of them it was in one ear and out the other. Now I play sample for people and they re shocked! "When did he do that?" "96" "Really?!?!"........
