I highly recommend the Ravensburger brand of puzzle. :-) And now a community service announcement, courtesy of today's New York Times ... I know we've discussed Anchor in the past here. "The billionaire owner of the yogurt company Chobani said on Friday that he had acquired Anchor Brewing...

A great performance. The orchestra is spectacular. The host is in prime form. This was the first live album by Mr. Sinatra ever released, and he was already age 50 at the time. It still ranks as the #2 most popular of all his albums. Let's get this show on the road ... song composed by Jimmy Van...

I have owned this music for many years - my favorite SP album. The compositions and arrangements by Michael League are great, as is the playing of the Metropole Orkest. This remixed / remastered version, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the music, is simply awesome, and available in 24/96...

Done in a style similar to the original Circle album from 1972: live in studio, one or two takes, no overdubs. More gospel music here than the first album. The quality of musicianship shines brightly. John Prine vocals. New Grass Revival - John Cowan vocals, Sammy Bush mandolin. Jimmy Martin...

This album was on sale for one year, in that time it sold eight million copies. None of the music is available to stream, nor on YouTube. Only covers can be found ... too bad - the covers don't cut it. PM me. Mr. Strait has 60 #1 hits and an RIAA record 33 platinum albums. George usually...

Song composed by Ira Gershwin. Sr. Sandoval on trumpet and vocals. Produced by Quincy Jones.

This music is incredible; this song in particular is simply beautiful. Thanks for the suggestion, mate.

Sr. Ibarra is the drummer and band leader here. A suggestion by jazz mentor @earnmyturns; a good one - indeed similar to Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band, meaning tremendous. Incredibly beautiful. Hell Yes. She has four albums out - good ... I want more of her. The point of this album...

The 2015 album remixed and remastered ... sounding better than ever!

The SQ of the remixed / remastered version is tremendous - a big step up. I've owned this music for many years; never has it sounded so good. Thanks Qobuz for the 24/96 version. The term "live in studio" has a different meaning for this band. What a blast! That's the band's leader, Michael...

I've tasted the 15, 20 and 23, and preferred the 15. It was quite good, but now even the 15 is unobtainium. Back in the day, I remember being in the Party Source in Newport, KY, across the river from Cincinnati. They had several versions of Pappy on the shelves. I did notice the name but didn't...

Samuel Clemens learns how to be a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi. It's like learning a language that changes from day to night and over time, as well.

Is that because it was once spelled Börne?

And keep the water supply flowing ... remember the post by @Bowmoreman regarding the aquifer?

Hmmm. Now I need to ask the photographer ...

Mark Pfledderer? I remember him. :-)

Inverted? :-)

I listen to only about three heavy metal bands, and Opeth is my favorite. They are so emotionally complex and still fun at the same time. Album produced by Steven Wilson ... good move, mates. The source here is a ripped CD to FLAC at 16/44.1 resolution. DR is 11 - nice. Studio album from...

In my first college dorm room at Purdue - 1976 - we had a pair of Bose 301 bookshelf speakers. We thought they sounded great. That was a long time ago. :-)

Wow ... 2.5-hrs long, should be great - thanks. Also thanks to @earnmyturns for a very interesting album, recorded in Cuba. I love the rhythm down there. Announcing incoming additions to the house ... which one to sample first? :-)

The best thing about Qobuz, for me, was to discover all the remastered old jazz recordings. Pick an artist and work thru their discography - that is a blast, to hear how they change over time. There are way too many of those recordings to own 'em all. YMMV as always. :) ps. Charles Mingus is a...

LOL ... buckle up! :-)

If you do, I recommend a subscription to Qobuz. It's easy to explore new music, and to buy it, if you so desire. I think my basic subscription costs $10.83/month. The quality even of their 16/44.1 music is very good. For today - I've not ever listened to this music, but discovered that Todd...

One of our granddaughters ready to celebrate Geek Pride Day back in 2017. Aah the memories ... and, she has grown up to be a real geek!

I'm so happy with the Gungnir MB that I bought a 2nd one just before the BRUZ chips exited the scene to become guided missiles. I have no 2-chan gear and listen only to headphones. :-)
