Bill Wyman's Blues Odyssey.... 2 Cds...  :thumb:

So outside of the Stones Bill Wyman does Blues, Charlie Watts does Jazz and Keith Richards does.... ah... drugs.

I guess we all have to have a hobby.  :rofl:

It was actually full almost a month ago,   :shock:  but it took me a while to get the time to start building.    aa

Tom -

I have 3 of the 8-opening Ikea racks, I think you saw them. I bought the 1st, Bill said "you shoulda gotten 2".

I bought a second and Bill said "you shoulda gotten 2".

So I bought the 3rd. I can see eventually I'll need still another.

In a year I'll need a 4th, but the walnut veneer is no longer made, so I'll be saying "I shoulda gotten a 4th when I had the chance".

These two Kenny Dorham albums were actually the final two CDs  I listened to last night while finishing the record rack but I was just too tired to sit down and write the post by the time I finished at 3AM.  [-(

Quiet Kenny




Jazz Contemporary



Both are from the Real Gone Jazz Kenny Dorham Eight Classic Album set

Bill is a visionary....... or just a nut job like the two of us.  aa

I ran into the same problem with CD racks from Best Buy. I initially bought four. About a year later my son came up with an idea on how to squeeze in a fifth (with a little modification to work around a lolly column that was in the way.) I went to Best Buy picked up the exact same unit with the same SKU and when I put it together I found that the manufacturer changed the design and the unit did not match the ones I already ad in place that it would be butting up against. Now granted, the difference is small and I don't think anyone would ever notice it, especially when it is fully loaded ( which of course took no time at all  :roll: ), but it still makes me crazy because I know it's there.

Now my problem going forward is not going to be building additional racks, but rather the fact that I will need to put an addition onto my house to have a place to put any more racks.  #-o

And of course thinning the herd by getting rid of some infrequently listened to LPs and CDs is simply out of the question, it is just not in my DNA.  :rofl:  ](*,)  :rofl:

... and now back to our regularly scheduled program

Haken - Visions (CD)

- Cool cover, cool prog-metal music. Probably one of my "best of" disks from 2011 in this genre.

The Pachelbel Canon, Albinoni Adagio and Other Baroque Melodies

Over the last 2 years I've acquired 8 copies of this, really like it.

Why 8, cuz they're all nicked in one way or another. But they all cost .50 cents to $1, so no big deal having more than 1 copy.

Had a copy in my hand in FL, looked pristine, and appeared to have LAST treatment as well, for $3.49. So I put it back.

Now listening to all 8 copies to see if I have one I can live with, or do I have to buy the FL copy.  :roll:

EDIT: Got a clean 1. For those wanting to try Baroque, this is a fine album/cd, and Amazon has a bunch in stock. And if you've been to more than 3 weddings in last 10 years, you've heard The Pachelbel Canon.

Pachebel Canon = theme song for New Age waifs. Can't stand it!

But it is pretty advanced for Baroque, so it was probably a big shift in popular music of the time. Of course there was no popular music of the time, but it sure is popular now!

Somehow I think Pachebels Canon might not really be your theme song, Gene?  :lol:
