RN listening to way to much Taylor Swift. Daughter #3 almost always commandeering the car stereo on our trips.

I did help her purchase a nice entry level turntable and speakers though, which was kind of fun. And bought her Rumors and Revolver as Christmas presents for her growing collection of vinyl.

My oldest is a huge Taylor Swift fan. Some would say a little to much but she is just like that when she is into something. Think me, only exponentially worse. lol

Nobody, and I mean nobody commandeers the stereo, except for me, when I am in the car. And I have 3 daughters. lol

@george-k I’m comparing Bernstein’s Sibelius cycle with the NY Phil and later with the Vienna Phil. Quite a difference in the tone quality between these orchestras. I’ll post my impressions later.

Mrs. George went shopping.

I'm alone in the house, and I've got Gardiner's recording of the Beethoven #7 playing.

Really loud.

Listen to the use of the pedal in the repeats. Also, how heavy-handed...

Another one that's just too much.

Not my style for Scarlatti.

I've always enjoyed Chris Isaak's music. I was unaware that, about 9 years ago, he released an album called "Beyond the Sun" in which he covers some of the classic songs from the Sun Studios - "Pretty Woman," "I Walk The Line," and a host of others.

I've not been able to find them on Spotify or Apple Music, but if you look around on Youtube, they're there.

There's a playlist to the right - give it a shot, you geezers.

What do you think of the Joe Pass?

I'm humbled by his ability, which is clearly immense, but I've never really been able to connect with solo jazz guitar - there's just not enough tonal variety for me to listen to it on its own. As part of a bigger band, it's fine.

He's been called the "Paganini of guitar."

Yeah, it's a bit difficult. His meanderings seem to be journeys away from the "tune" and I found myself wondering where the HELL he's going with it. When he gets back to the tune, it's almost a relief.

It's almost like Art Tatum, but without as much coherence.

It's about the journey out, man, not the return to home.

Gotta dig it.

Also helps if you snap your fingers.

Love it!
