Miscellaneous Ramblings

Early this morning I was looking for something to watch on TV.  There were ads for women and (young, I guess) men to remove hair, and for guys my age to transplant hair.  

So... when the hairless guys become my age will they laser their heads?
 
I am probably crossing copyright boundaries by posting this but...

This is the ramble by Jim Varney (Vern's friend Ernest Warrell), as Grandpaw in one of his short pieces.  I love the thread of discontinuity.

You know I love to play that baseball
 
Hey Granger - Have you read 'Life' by Keith Richards? I think you, and probably most Bottleheads would really enjoy it. I'm reading it for the second time. Its so packed with stuff. What a life indeed, even before the Stones!
 
Read Life last winter. I think the thing that struck me most was that the guy has been amazingly lucky to survive his various stunts.
 
No, I have read both of David Crosby's autobiographies.  And two of Fleetwood Mac's biographies, one by Mick Fleetwood.

I might have to get that for Christmas.
 
OOps, I just found Eric Clapton's autobiography that Paula gave me two years ago for Christmas. I ought to read that one first.

Yep, I found his early life in post WW2 England fascinating. It wasnt that long ago!
 
Dan opened this corner up to anything with his disclaimer.

Listening to a guitarist, songwriter when the guitar is 2 feet away from the voice.  I know he is singing and playing.  This bugs me.

Same for most Diana Krall albums, the voice and piano are not at the same place in the soundstage.  This bugs me.

Duophonic LPs.  One channel has the treble cut, bass boosted.  The other channel has bass cut and treble boosted.  This is supposed to be an improvement over MONO?  Not in my book.

More later less sooner, I'm listening to a Van Morrison (called "cousin Van" by me, it isn't true) and Wes Montgomery I bought yesterday.  The Wes is 2 LPs that were new, for $12.  Awesome!
 
Near mic'd drums that have half the kit 10 feet from the other half...makes me crazy.  In such cases, I put myself back in a good mood reminding myself at least I'm not a old codger...I only really love one kind of capacitor (Mundorf Silver in Oil), after all. 

Hope that helps....

Best,
John
 
John,

Thank you ! ! !  Yes! ! !  Why should there be one cymbal in the right speaker and another in the left speaker.  It drives me nuts!  (short trip)

I was just reading throught this thread to see if I had complained about singers with their instruments elsewhere.  I have.

John, for a well recorded drum kit listen to Festival Sketch from Modern Jazz Quartet's Live At Music Inn Vol. 2.  You hear the difference between two cymbals that are 2 feet apart and the left most is behind the right one.
 
Two new ones today.

1) why are the instructions in the men's room for the changing table in braille? 

2) a must see for any Man (Fixers of Things).

Wife, 3 grown daughters....man I have had that conversation on many times on many levels!!!

Thanks for sharing!

Geary
 
My brother suggested a movie for understanding women.  I can't for the life of me remember the name, I didn't watch it.  But the conversation goes, a woman says she is thirsty and a man tried to get her some water.  What she wanted was for the man to say, "I have been thirsty too."

Go figger!
