Linda Ronstadt:Get Closer



I went to the concert from this album at Radio City Music Hall in 1982. As she bopped onto the stage in a high school cheerleader outfit every guy in the house nearly wet himself  :drool: and every wife in the house elbowed her husband in the ribs.  :lol:

Laurence Juber: Pop goes Guitar



Solo acoustic guitar versions of major Pop hits by this former lead guitarist for Paul McCartney & Wings.

Samples:

Very nice from both a musical and a performance standpoint, but kind of disappointing sonically. Sounded OK in the car and on the computer, but on the big system exhibited a disturbingly artificial sense of dynamics, probably cause by excessive signal processing  (compression?) in the recording chain. The dynamic changes just did not sound consistent with what one would expect to hear out of an acoustic guitar.

But I still enjoy this one in the car.  :)

The Greatest! Count Basie Plays, Joe Williams Sings Standards



I had the privilege of working on the stage crew for a Joe Williams concert back in the day. In addition to being extremely talented from a musical perspective, the man was a true gentleman.  :thumb:

I hope not because of equipment failure.  :(
