Listener comments!
Great sounds for a cool, blustery morning, thanks Joe!
All!
Greetings from Queens.
Could use a bit of glow to chase away some of this pandemic gloom. As fleeting as it might be I’d take it.
(As I stanch the bleeding from the kittens' thinking I was being a touch slow with breakfast.)

there is a train in northern california's
emerald triangle
https://www.skunktrain.com/
might have something to do
w/skunky ganja
also the owsley stanley
live set of commander cody & his lpa
from 1970 family dog rocks!
Webmaster thanks for all you do.
Mike Sin i loved the story you just described. Thank your
...oh ye denizen of the smooth new dawn...
but still mixed & recorded
beaucoup live shows!
made sense the only time
i ever talked to him about audio
in the mid 1970s
he had recently returned from a bid
in federal prison
I had to tune in late due to a dentist appointment though loving the sounds since I joined thirty minutes ago. I find the guitar riff on this song irresistible.
Not git the cats off the damn table!
pairs of b&k instrumentation mics
out of phase?
Who is it that hates Daltrey ...KurtGottshcalk...
insane number of great unknown bands
in southeastern michigan
1960s->70s
here is a link about whiz kids:

As for The One Thing, that was def. an MTV & radio hit, and I think the video (scruffy guys crashing a posh pool party?) was my introduction to the band in that first year of music video immersion
They won me over with sound, not looks
Mark Goodman was often stoned as I recall
I know someone out there gets it
May have to find him a new home
We are trying to train him now
Thanks for music during this difficult time Joe lol
Well he is a big d o g and when he senses I am scared he growls but apparently I have to stare him down and he will like me but I don't know if it doesn't get better in like a week we find him a new home
And he has ear problems so we are gonna fix him up nice
This is nice the song haha
We loved each other last night so IDK being alone together and D didn't go well today :(
Have good Mondays, everyone. Only fifty-one more this year! -Ish!
Thanks Ken, don't tell Franco!
Michael Hurley pretty much the icing on the cake

Looking forward to a great '22.
Cheers.
a bientot, tout le monde!
