Had never heard of a 'harp guitar' until I saw this guys covers of Ozzy, Metallica, Beatles, Kansas..... Here's the top 10 most viewed on his channel.

Yep, didn't see the smaller font items on the right side. As Emily Litella would say.....never mind.

I use Firefox on Macbook Pro, I don't see Notifications under Account Settings, if I click the 'bell' icon next to the messages icon I get Notifications then click the Notification Settings button. Mark

FYI, today I received an email from MoFi about their new MoFi Youtube channel. Mark

Thanks but I saved a copy of a post that showed the cover. Charlie is sending me the file.

I downloaded the .zip archive of the 2014 Carver Site 2 disc reference set several years ago and burned the tunes to cd. I can't find that .zip file and I loaned the cd's to a friend who lost them. I found a link to the file on the carver audio site but it doesn't seem to be there anymore. If anybody has the .zip archive I would appreciate a copy, PM me and I'll send you my email addy. Thanks.

Worked at a local burger joint thru high school and summers the first couple years of college ('72 thru '74), this was on the jukebox, and probably was played 20 times a day. Mark

I have a similar Kunzel / Telarc digital CD, also sounds pretty good.

It's a non-stocked part - is there a reason you need a 105C part?

I bought this when it first released, sounds great. Also available as pre-order at music direct.

Not on the mofi list - Donald Fagen The Nightfly, Santana Abraxas. Mark

I haven't received the email yet, I ordered two back in January. Mark

Link is to Josie, here's peg

I sold my new copy of Abraxas last summer for $386 + 14 shipping. Bought it October 2016 directly from MOFI for $107. When The Nightfly became available I pre-ordered 2 of them, and pre-ordered 2 Bridge Over Troubled Waters. Mark

Mostly hi quality CD's (MOFI, Audio Fidelity, DCC), some hi quality vinyl. Some K2 mastered CD's sound great (ELP, Eagles), some not so great (Bat Out Of Hell), probably depends on how good the original master was. Have a couple SACD's and an older OPPO DV-981 that I haven't listened to very much. Bought a Sony CD changer and recorder in 2006 - it makes a bit for bit copy of any original CD, so my CD's only get played a couple times to make copies to use, mainly in my vehicles. Mark

Based on my experience, pre-order from Music Direct. Last year I pre-ordered MFSL's The Nightfly from a 'wholesale' online retailer (Elusive Disc), then a couple weeks later I pre-ordered one from Music Direct. When it was released in October 2017 I got the one from Music Direct very quickly, about a week after release. Several months went by without a word from Elusive Disc - in email communication they told me Mobile Fidelity had some supply issues and since they were a 'wholesale' business their pre-orders were filled after 'retail' orders (like from Music Direct). I contacted Mobile Fidelity and they confirmed what Elusive Disc told me. I also learned that Mobile Fidelity and Music Direct are 'sister' companies. I had given up on getting the copy from Elusive Disc, but to my surprise it finally shipped on Jan 31, over 3 months after release. I pre-ordered 2 copies of BOTW when it first showed up on Music Directs site. Mark

Music taste hasn't changed as I've aged (I'm 63) - mostly classic rock. And like Chops, won't listen to any rap / hip hop (don't consider it music). Mark

I have a Sony CD recorder that makes identical digital copies onto audio cd-r's, so I do have copies of all my discs. Someday I might want to sell the cracked one and it would be worth a little more if I could assure the buyer it wouldn't fly apart or crack into the data area and make it unreadable. And, I occasionally see a rare disc for sale that has this type of crack, so if I can find a reliable way to repair it I would buy it. I don't do wav or mps's except for podcasts. To my ears an mp3 copy of a high quality disc (MOFI, K2) doesn't sound as good as the CD. Mark

I thought about trying glue, maybe I'll put a couple small lines of glue a couple places around the center hole on a CD-R just to see if it still plays ok. Mark

Thanks for the info. Any idea where I could get these? I only found one that looked like what you are talking about, 1.5" diameter, foil backed, but you have to buy 100 of them at $15 shipped ( http://www.demco.com/goto?PRD12888650 ). I can buy small quantities of the full size labels on ebay, $4 for 20 of them. The smaller ones would probably be easier to install. Mark

I have a couple CD's that have one or two cracks that start at the center hole and reach almost to the data area of the disc - attached is an example with a longer crack than one of mine, a Mobile Fidelity Santana Abraxas. I'm a little wary of playing cracked discs since I saw the damage done to a computer CD drive when a disk broke while it was being read. Audio CD's spin much slower than data CD's (500 RPM vs 4000 RPM at 8X speed) so the risk of destroying a music CD (and possibly the CD drive) are likely lower than for a data disc, but would prefer not to destroy the disc. Has anyone successfully repaired a cracked disc? I was thinking about trying a ‘full face’ printable label that covers the entire disc up to the center hole. Full-face CD label Thanks. Mark

Here's another prodigy, Avery Drummer, at age 3, age 5, and now at 10; He has over 200 clips on youtube. Great at covers, be interesting to see if he can create as well as he copies. Avery Mark

Here's an amazing young lady, first from 2008 when she was 8 0r 9, second from 10 months ago at 17; Her youtube channel is Tina S. Check out her cover of Van Halen's Eruption. She makes it look so easy Mark

Saw this on a blog I follow this morning - Elders React to The Beatles. Mark

I didn't realize it was still in the sleeve, D-OH! Looks like it's the same set. Guess it's time for new glasses. Mark
