Floats my boat by Aer.

Working on getting all my playlists in order for the weekend which starts tomorrow!

I'm listening to the pages of the calendar flip as I get closer to my trip to Lake Guntersville and realize how much I still have to do. I don't want to finish and then leave on the trip. I'm going to need time for some shakedown cruises. Where's the Tylenol....

Going back to my high school days. Listening to a little Lynyrd Skynyrd after watching a documentary on the band on AXS tv.
It reminded me what a song writing group they were. Every single song they wrote was great. Kind of tough to get more than two decent songs out of any current groups entire album these days.

And the poor kids of today think Sweet Home Alabama was written by... um... kid rock. Hurts to even write his name.

And more importantly, the REASON Sweet Home Alabama was written!

Good post Tusc.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was my band during high school. Sweet Home Alabama,Ballad of Curtis Lowe, and Call me the Breeze. I think Second Helping is one of the greatest albums ever written. Although, I have to give honorable mention to J.J. Cale for The Breeze, LS made it a huge hit and it is better than any other version I have heard of the song.

Sweet Home was one of the first songs I learned to play with a band, and at one time could play the entire lead note for note. Not so much anymore.

All of their albums were great, and Street Survivors was so, so, so damn good. They were just hitting overdrive with the addition of Gaines and the back up girls singing. What could have been..
I think all of us 70’s kids would call them one of our most listened to bands of the day. We knew all of the words, I mean ALL of the words on every album, didn’t we?
I remember I was parking my car in Columbus Ohio when the bad news came across my radio. I remember sitting there in disbelief.

Yesterday the music on the boat started with my 2 teenage daughters playlists which is mostly current pop/R&B stuff. We were surfing with just the 3 of us on the boat so I normally let them choose the music. Later in the day some friends from the UK showed up and we wound up listening to some Moody Blues at his request - quite the contrast in music from early in the day!

Back in the late 80’s when I graduated from college I sold audio equipment for a decade and I’m still a pseudo audiophile. I just ordered a set of Elac Adante’s for our lake home and can’t wait to get them set up. Here’s more info for any of you fellow audio nuts.

Nice MLB.
You’re speaking my language my audiophile friend.

On a side note, I’m a huge Bob Carver fan.

http://www.bobcarvercorp.com Fascinating individual who as I’m sure you know greatly impacted the audio world. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Carver
Own quite a bit of his pieces including a Lightstar.

In honor of "The Eagles Greatest hits 1971-1975" album in the news today becoming the number one selling album of all time (at least according to RIAA methodology) outselling Michael Jackson's "Thriller'' album.






On a side note, Wifeeee, I & the kids saw the Eagles live at PPG paints arena last month. Glenn Frey is certainly missed but his son Deacon as well as Vince Gill did an amazing job. Even Joe Walsh and Don Henley still rocked it. My son is a Music Ed major at the local University and plays his trumpet constantly---(it's his favorite instrument). When the Eagles opened Hotel California with a B-flat trumpet it brought a tear to his eye.

A sample we recorded from live opening of Hotel California in Pittsburgh w/ B flat trumpet...


....Continuation of Hotel California sample...

Saw the Eagles in Stavanger, Norway a few years back while Glenn was still alive. I couldn't believe that Don Henly's voice still sounded just as good, maybe better than when he was young. Great band. Grew up singing all their tunes in high school.

Don't know why, but this song has been playing in my head to about a week.

EL&P. Emerson's synth keyboard solo is iconic.

I can't play it A80000055550007777.

I’m a huge fan and very familiar with Carver gear having sold a lot of it back in the late’80’s and early ‘90’s. I was sort out of the high end audio scene for a couple decades until purchasing a set of Magnepan 1.7’s 5 years ago. I’m now recently retired and can see myself getting sucked back into the audiophile world again by buying something like an Aesthetix Calypso preamp!
