    Got the Blues?

    I probably should clarify that I really did buy the Legends T-shirt in the above post (#494) at Buddy Guy's Legends bar in Chicago years ago (he was there that night). BTW I have also seen him in concert (twice). Both shows were great! :wink:

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    +1 Received mine as a gift in December 2014 a couple of months after the X2 was launched in North America, and they continue to sound great. It's sad what others have gone through due to quality issues. ;)

    What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)

    Sad indeed. Went solo to see him open for BB King back in the 70s 'cause no one was able to make it...was so worth it. They played together for the final encore. RIP
