I put my own tracks on a CDR and let it play. My taste is different than most here.

Red Skelton's list for a good marriage: 1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays; I go on Fridays. 2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California, and mine is in Texas. 3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back. 4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. She said… ‘Somewhere I haven’t been in a long time!’ So I suggested the kitchen. 5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops. 6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said ‘There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!’ So I bought her an electric chair. 7. My wife told me the car wasn’t running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, ‘In the lake.’ 8. She got a mud-pack, and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off. 9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, ‘Am I too late for the garbage?’ The driver said, ‘No, jump in!’ 10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce. 11. I married Miss Right. I just didn’t know her first name was Always. 12. I haven’t spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don’t like to interrupt her. 13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked, ‘What’s on the TV?’ I said, ‘Dust!

Security system or not, I wouldn't let trash like that in my place... Or the speakers. You're right. I was much younger back and a risk taker. I wouldn't do it now in these times.

IT'S TRASH!!!!! That white van trick has been around for years. Used to sit in Circuit City and Best Buy parking lots waiting for people. One day I told them let me test them out in my house that wasn't far from the store ( I knew the security system in that house was pretty much fool proof). When I hooked them up they couldn't compare to anything I had. Not even close. I was running Bose 901VI's at the time. The power amp almost killed the white van speakers. I sent them packing and have warned people every since. They were even on the news here as a scam.

Welcome to the best site and group of people ever. If you mean a slight humming sound through the speakers it may be related to the RCA cables on your input at the pwr amp.

I actually have a DBX 224 sitting stored away. PM me.

Welcome. Sounds like you found the right place. We'll keep that obsession growing. We like pictures.

Sounds like congratulations are in order!!!

Welcome Dnspy007. You have an awesome setup there. You did it right posting pictures before we had a chance to ask for them. LMAO

Yes I have many of their (Heads Up) CD recordings. Hiroshima Greg Kaukas Joyce Cooling Najee Pieces of a Dream Spyro Gyra Gerald Veasley Walter Beasley Peter White Yellow Jackets Take 6 Pamela Williams Jeff Lober Fusion Doc Powell Dave Weckl Acoustic Alchemy Alexander Zonjic Candy Dulfer That's my little Heads Up catalog.

Al Jarreau on Spotify

Update: I have a running count of the votes. There are two I marked but are not counted because they didn't determine whether Reference or Other. There are more tracks than space. LOL There were a few comments that female vocal tracks are non existent in the list. That's not a huge deal for me since I prefer mainly non vocals. An example for me is the first reference disc. Most of the tracks on disc 1 were vocals. If I could have removed the vocals of some they were more enjoyable. However, it's for the group so it's for all of you to decide and vote. Just my opinion.

There are more than likely are quite a few of us that like to put music compilations together on a disc and our portable media players. If it's possible and enough members want to do it, (depending on the Administrators and rules for the site) I propose those compilations deemed worthy could be shared. The site always has an album playing in the upper top corner. They could be shared there for a short period of time. It would give many of us exposure to a lot of music we haven't heard. What are your thoughts?

Rather than rush out a half ass disc/product I am willing to extend the time to whatever we need. So disregard the Saturday cutoff. I just thought we were closer to a final list. I will however tally all votes Sunday to give everyone a picture where we are.

Reference disc or Other?

I started a new Thread for finalizing the disc since this one has gotten fairly long.

It's time to put this baby to press and production. Here's the suggested rules: - Everyone gets 5 picks from the list. - You can use more than one of your votes for a track. - Mark the track as R for reference disc or O for other - Any track changes or substitutes have to be made by the first person that suggested the original track. Saturday Feb 4th at 12 midnight west coast time all voting ends. I will count the votes Sunday and post the results for a final list. When listing you vote use the format of track #, number of votes, and (other).R (reference) or O (other).

I'm waiting for everyone to decide which tracks go where. Please, no more entries. We need to narrow the list down and make changes where agreed. Here's the list with the corrections Kevin posted.

Welcome to the best group you can find. Looks like a Proceed Pwr Amp on the bottom right. You've started down the Carver acquisition road of OCCD. LOL I like many here have been bitten by the Carver bug. Two M1.0t mkII opt002 pwr amps in used and 3 other Carvers resting as spares.

Here is the list I compiled as of tonight. Any suggestions how we choice what tracks to keep? Currently it's 34 tracks for the 2016 Loss Artists disc. There's only 1 track for the reference disc.

Thanks, but I actually have that CD.

Been so busy I forgot about compiling the rest of the suggestions.

Yes. Two separate projects; One commemorative, the other sonic. Creates less work and expense when someone only wants one or the other disc. I didn't submit anything for the sonic side because the project seems to be running counter to what I'd want. For the reference disc: Water Under The Bridge, Pshychodots, Psychodots Jaco, Jonas Hellborg, Bass Rodney can you repost info in the order of Song, Artist, Album? Being unfamiliar with the Artist and song makes it confusing for me. I have complied 2 separate list. If it is not stated it's from an Artist that passed in 2016 I put it on the 2nd list.
