No issues here. Coel-using the home page connection.
Connie Kay was great in his understated way-heard him with MJQ back in the day.

okay Thanks friends for input. it happens here much more than it happens at my house. it's probably these people's internet set-up.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:32pm
Funky16Corners:

@Doc - I never got to see the MJQ, but I did get to see Kay and Milt Jackson in separate free concerts at our local library when I was in my teens and twenties. Milt was shocked when I (who looked like a long-haired biker) brought up a 10" MJQ record for his autograph

Wow, think I have this album filed, but don't remember the Richard and Linda cover, cool!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:43pm
Parq:

This may be connected to Coales's problem, or not, but I keep losing volume. I've turned my player up three times since this show started, and here it is at whisper level again.

Still getting consistent readings on this end. I will investigate.

@Franco, I worked at Disney..Funny.

Franco T, that's how it is with a really evocative piece of work. No matter what the originator had in mind, you're just *sure* it's about your own long-past experiences.

It's fine on my end.

Richard and Linda (together and separately) up there with my faves of all time, just loving this.
No volume issues using home page player.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:47pm

I think aside from a few Fairport tunes, the Richard/Linda stuff is my favorite of the Thompson catalog.
Avatar 10:50pm
geezerette:

@Larry, I agree. He's depressing to me on his own.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:51pm
Funky16Corners:

Yes, he needs someone to moderate his darkness
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:52pm
doctorjazz:

The Richard/Linda stuff is indeed great stuff, but love the solo albums as well (darkness doesn't bother me, kinda like Richard's gloom and doom). Seen him many times in concert, solo and with bands, man, can he play that geetar!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:53pm
Funky16Corners:

He is - along with Stevie Ray Vaughn - the best guitarist I've ever seen in person
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:04pm

Ah, Miles, his breakout/cusp electric album as well...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:04pm
Little Danny:

@Doc - Lots of 'cusp'/transition in tonight's show
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:06pm

If you can still find it, the Complete In A Silent Way box set is amazing.

I second the In A Silent Way Box.
This music just floats...

Killer show thusfar Larry, very hip late '60s FM radio vibes

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:26pm
Funky16Corners:

Me too, C. This is by any measure my favorite album.
  11:27pm
Dean:

Artists who covered huge swaths of ground: Beethoven, Bach, Telemann. Even Copland ran a gamut. Schoenberg!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:27pm
Funky16Corners:

@Franco - remember the light of the dial on the tuner as it came to life. Sometimes the only light in the room.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:29pm
Funky16Corners:

@Dean - Agreed, I was thinking more of artists in the (more) popular realm, but yeah, the set of beethoven's symphonies is quite a journey from end to end
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:29pm
Franco Twinkie:

One night I ran into Johnny Echols and the only thing I could think of to say to this great man was that his guitar on Forever Changes would haunt me till the day I die.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30pm
doctorjazz:

Ornette Coleman covered quite a bit of ground in his corner of the music world, sort of analagous to Miles in a way...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30pm
coelacanth:

that probably was enough,Franco
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:31pm
Funky16Corners:

I think Ornette is too inscrutable for most people, t least casual listeners, where Miles pokes through into the greater zeitgeist a bunch of times. But yeah, I could listen to the first few Atlantic Coleman albums on a loop for a week.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:31pm
Franco Twinkie:

Ornette Coleman was Johnny Echols next door neighbor when he was a kid.
  11:32pm
Dean:

Indeed, symphonies. I was thinking of piano sonatas and string quartets, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm
Webhamster Henry:

Got any psych-folk in this set?
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:34pm
Erica:

The Left Banke's first LP was the best, as it was catch baroque pop. The 2nd album, however the band took a different direction both vocally and in terms of the genre and it wasn't as good.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:35pm
Erica:

catchy baroque pop.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:35pm
Webhamster Henry:

I have a phone message from Teo Macero, but it's not very interesting.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:35pm
Funky16Corners:

@Henry - Not really, though the next track is psych/folk adjacent
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:36pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - I love the first Left Banke. So many great songs
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:36pm
Erica:

I agree Larry. I just wish they didn't change directions for the second album.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:37pm
coelacanth∅:

in "contemporary" music, Ray Davies; Brian Eno; maybe Brian Wilson...though i didn't actually hear the mic break so maybe i'm misunderstanding the subject!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:37pm
Webhamster Henry:

I'm a kind of Incredible String Band fan, that's all.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:37pm
Franco Twinkie:

Love played with the Yardbirds and Moby Grape at the Santa Monica Civic...can you imagine!?!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:39pm
Funky16Corners:

@C - I think what I was trying to get at was Davis spanning so many movements within his style. I can't think of anyone in rock that went through as many changes that were all that good.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:40pm
Funky16Corners:

@Franco - That bill would have blown my mind
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:40pm
Erica:

Never heard this Al Stewart song before. I'm used to his 70s soft rock stuff.

He came up like Cat Stevens, with a little bit of mod/psychedelia before settling into The Year of the Cat

@Henry - As it should

are we listing the most undeservedly popular songs of all time now?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:49pm
Funky16Corners:

I think Dean might have been referring to the fact that the opening of Stairway was stolen from Spirit
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50pm
Franco Twinkie:

Get this Dean, Spirit opened for Zep at the Anaheim convention center, A building that I swear to god looks like a flying saucer!

An English Love?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52pm

It's basically a chord progression, the Beatles used it on Something, goes back to Billie Holiday, not sure that counts as stealing...
