Paying homage while taking a break on the yard work for a bit...

Rush - Something For Nothing This one has served as a reminder, helping me getting me off my a$$ and making a change in my life more than once. Waiting for the winds of changeTo sweep the clouds awayWaiting for the rainbow's endTo cast its gold your wayCountless waysYou pass the daysWaiting for someone to callAnd turn your world aroundLooking for an answerTo the question you have foundLooking forAn open doorYou don't get something for nothingYou can't have freedom for freeYou won't get wiseWith the sleep still in your eyesNo matter what your dreams might beWhat you own is your own kingdomWhat you do is your own gloryWhat you love is your own powerWhat you live is your own storyIn your head is the answerLet it guide you alongLet your heart be the anchorAnd the beat of your own songYou don't get something for nothingYou can't have freedom for freeYou won't get wiseWith the sleep still in your eyesNo matter what your dreams might be

I had the other knee 'scoped Friday. Bought this to give me something to do while I'm off work for a little while: Slowly working through the '60s so far...

My own little "Breakfast With The Beatles" this morning....

These. Starting top right, working counter-clockwise. Just started the Thelonious Monk Orchestra, 3rd one this morning. Raided The Exclusive Company in Appleton yesterday.

I recently found this one looking for quotes regarding "quality". I put it on the cork board above my desk: "Never compare yourself to anyone except the previous you" -author unknown-

New vinyl from my younger (19) son:

We watched this last night... Which led to this with morning coffee...

Sure is great ro be spinnin' vinyl again! Remarkably few clicks and pops for being one of my first lps. Surviver many parties

Deb spied this when we were in The Exclusive Company last weekend: 180g vinyl. Just got the TT setup last night for the first time in a while. Nice way to break in the new setup

Home alone for a while Amazing what happens when 8 8" woofers dance in unison

5. Two sons, their girlfriends, and a wife. I love them all. But I can drown them out if I turn the volume high enough... Oh, you mean audio speakers? Not enough, then

BINGO! Sorry I didn't see it this morning... You have the controls....

nobody? How about... ...Flanked by life...

My humble HT setup is based on a Denon HV receiver, pre HDMI. Driving a Jamo 5.1 speaker setup. I ditched the Jamo sub and installed dual Klipsch KSW-10's in opposite corners. This made a world of difference. They blend really well even with small front/rears. Can't really tell they're there. I'm not much of a TV guy, but Concerts on BlueRay still sound pretty darn good.

lets try this one: ...A comedy of errors...

Jerry Doucette Momma Let Him Play Mamma let that boy play some Rock-N-Roll Jazz is much too crazy, he can play it when he's old He's to young for the Blues,he's still inside his first pair of shoes He' just a baby Give that boy some freedom,let him move around Don't get in his way,you'll only bring him down Chorus Mamma won't you let him,let him play some Rock-N-Roll Ya Let him play some Rock-N-Roll Let him play some Rock-N-Roll Let him play some Rock-N-Roll Oh yaeh Well alright,come on now Mamma let that boy play some Rock-N-Roll Jazz is much too crazy,he can play it when he's old He's too young for the blues,he's still inside his first pair of shoes He's so young Give that boy some freedom,let him move around Don't get in his way,you'll only bring him down Chorus Mamma Let Him Play Let Him Play Mamma Let Him Play Let Him Play Mamma let him say,what he wants to say (x2)

An old friend of mine has a pair with the woofer surrounds deteriorated. He bought them when we were in the Navy, 1978 I believe. Drove them with a Sansui CA/BA 2000 setup. I'll be seeing him in Copperas Cove in a few weeks.

Another thanks for the info. I too lurk around here to laugh and learn. I post what I am involved in, but. Unfortunately, most of my life's involvement doesn't involve audio equipment. Yet...
