Would anyone "help me" meet her? Would love to have a "conversation" with her. I've had the "urge for going" to "California" to do so. Maybe we'll meet at a "barangrill"?....

What simon said, obviously. We need some kind of federal oversight of cops. Deadly force is too important to be left up to the political winds of local politics. This week I read a suggestion that we have a specialized agency, like the National Traffic Safety Board (NTSB). The swoop in and investigate train and aircraft crashes. The last time I looked it up, black men were patriots too.

I always want sound to make you feel something, and listening on a good system makes that much more likely. The same record played on a laptops internal speakers gives you about 10% of that feeling. On a related note, I was just introduced to a local audiophile, Kip Peterson, and he had me come over and do some listening on his front door size ribbon speakers with the discrete left and right monoblock power amps and cables (interconnects) that cost a months wages. In addition to LPs and CDs he also has a collection of master tapes. Now, these are reel to reel tapes that were sent off to foreign countries for LP pressing in those regions and they are direct transfers of the mastered albums. When those foreign plants closed down they had vaults of tapes to be disposed of and someone realized they could be sold to collectors. Kip has Blue and Court and Spark among other goodies like Dark Side of the Moon. He played me Blue. Joni was practically five feet in front of me strumming her dulcimer, as vivid as if she were in fact present. Sound equals feeling, or it ought to, and this was a profound feeling. I am refraining from chiming in on the best vocal thread because what you hear something on plays a HUGE part in how you respond to it. Blue is not even in my top five Joni albums but when I heard All I Want coming at me from half inch analog tape exactly as it left the mastering plant (Bernie Grundman) it was jaw dropping. On an unrelated note, Mutts of the Planet performing Hejira live is about to be released on CD in the next few weeks. Ill be giving out more info soon, and Youtubes of the June 1st Carlsbad show where it was recorded will be up shortly. I have spent two months mixing this, and it is a corker, as we say in the UK. love Dave On Aug 18, 2014, at 3:25 PM, Anita Gabrielle wrote: > It's June 2nd 2014: > At Dave and Robin's House near Fallbrook. > Dave shares his sound system with > Half a dozen or so of us Joni Listers and Friends. > The 2000 version Vince Mendoza version of 'A Case Of You' rolls from the speakers.
