Full moon, bright and vivid. We went to bed early, I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep, a lot on my mind, and some clogged sinuses. Firing up the system to get some early morning sound.

Re-visiting disc six of Bob Dylan "The Bootleg Series Vol. 18: Through The Open Window, 1956-1963" . . . . What a young force, real talent bursting out of him.

Reply #27956 - Yesterday at 10:22:05 Decided to break out the 4 disc Steven Wilson revisit of Yes "Tales from Topographic Oceans" and listen to cd 3, the alternate version of the album using studio run-through and live material. Wow. A great experience with the stereo in it's current form. Love this music!

A cold morning again. But no snow! I'm enjoying a break from shoveling.

This sounded so good yesterday I'm playing it again. Billie with Mal Waldron supporting her. Great stuff!

Reply #27960 - Today at 09:32:43 I've pulled out some Yes releases that I haven't heard in a LONG time. I forget how awesome Howe and Squire can be, and I've warmed up to White quite a bit. "The Complete Keys to the Ascension" disc 1 of 5 (4 cds and a DVD).

Reply #27963 - Today at 15:07:39 I feel like I was an early adopter of Joshua Redman back in the 90s, but then lost interest. I spun Freedom in the Groove up for the first time in a long time and it is pretty good. On CD

Reply #27964 - Today at 19:48:01 "Dick Cary & his Tuesday Night Friends playing Dick Cary Originals" Arbor Jazz cd I haven't played this one in a long time and that's a shame. I've always been a fan of whatever Mr. Cary played on either piano or horn, and this one where he has a lot of input is a joy to hear.
