It sounds so natural that it's hard to believe Joni wrote it. I mean that it sounds like something that's always existed. Was it based off something familiar, or is she just good at writing songs? Haha. Anyway, she changed For Free pretty often: Going off memory here, by 1974, she had "the LA Express and their wives" and in 1976 she sang about her "manager and road manager and light crew and sound crew, a couple of truck drivers, and a rigger" as if it was just out of control. - -Betsy Jamie wrote > > Playing like a falling angel > Playing like a rising star > Playing for a hat full of nothing > To the honking of the cars > > The refuge of the roads tour is on dvd.

In both cases we're talking about mp3.audio files, AND the CBC didn't even use the Highest available Bit Rate (320 kbps). - - - - - - A good friend of mine recorded the CBC FM Radio Broadcasts.

They were recommended by someone on a Neil Young list who answered my question about what phones would be recommended for listening to those bluray packages that Neil puts out. (never did get a bluray player, btw) They sound very good, I think. Good tight bass and a nice spacious quality. I like bass. I like spacious. I thought about the Grados. Probably should have have gone with those. You always hear good remarks about Grados. Plus I think they might be "made in USA"? or maybe that's just the phono cartridges... I have some old black Sonys from the 80s, which were very highly rated at the time - I shelled out (I think) $90 for them back then. Those actually sound almost as decent as the Ultrasones except for the bass, but they have a loose/broken something or other in them which rattles around - and that bugs me - although you can't hear it while listening. The best sound is from my Etymotic earbuds using the foam ear piece (as opposed to the rubber christmas tree looking insert thingies) BUT, they really do bugger my ears. I only use them on my motorcycle, for long boring stretches. But really, I like listening to music from good speakers better than headphones.

Things have changed. Even the giveaway headphones have enough clarity to allow the listener to understand every word. Although I don't trust Consumer Reports' opinion of cameras or hi-fi equipment, they did rate my $99 Grado SR-80i higher than anything else that they reviewed. (Not saying they beat a $2,000 headphone). Anyway, what do you use and how do you feel about it? Jim L'Hommedieu PS, I guess my ear canals are big- giveaway earbuds fall out. PPSS, My Grados don't do bass very well. It is weak in this area but I really don't want a rapper's headphone either. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2013 #1152 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
