I have always thought about doing a studio quality recording just for 
fun, but I don't think I'd ever have the $$$.

Can't think of what I'd put on it, either.  I've always wanted to do 
remakes of 10cc's "I'm Not In Love" and Mason William's "Classical 
Gas" (classical guitar arrangement, probably solo, no accompaniment) 
but lack of resources has always been a problem.

just a little pipe dream, I suppose..

re 38:          Have you ever thought of doing a 'living room quality'
recording, just for fun?  With a couple mics and direct into PC
you can at least come up with a demo type thing.
        My trip to The Guitar Center shown me there is a whole new
arena of computer geekdoom in their.  Toys!  Toys!  Toys!

Ditto on the direct-to-PC recording.  With a couple of decent mics and a
little mixer you can do a very nice recording on your own computer, and then
burn to CD.

        Any high praise for Audiowerks sound cards?

I was a Jethro Tull fan when I was a wee sprout, so I'll pass this along.
Whoever owns the Chrysalis label now (EMI?) has started a new reissue
campaign for the Jethro Tull catalog.  The good news is that 
the albums THIS WAS, STAND UP and BENEFIT have been (allegedly) cleaned
up and (definitely) reissued.  I haven't heard the new ones yet, but
my old CD of BENEFIT was on the hissy side.  (My LP -- well er um, 
it seemed to have one channel completely worn away by overuse last 
time I played it....)
 
The bad news is that the album LIVING IN THE PAST has been withdrawn;
some of its contents are being dispersed as bonus tracks on those
reissue CDs.

Is "Aqualung" currently available on CD reissues.

response 46 of 124: Mark Unseen   Jan 16 05:25 UTC 2002

Don't know.  Presumably a remastered AQUALUNG, Tull's 4th album, 
would be the next reissue to come out; the CDs I described in 
resp:44 were Tull's first three albums.
 
In the past, the story has always been that a good-sounding AQUALUNG
has been impossible to deliver because the master tapes, which were 
kept in Ian Anderson's personal custody, had deteriorated badly.
Guess we'll see what comes next...

I haven't kept up with the quarter collection.. for which state is

Nobody else has gotten one of the new music quarters yet?

Haven't seen one, but the US Mint had some groovy pictures. This is the
Tennessee state quarter, correct? Louisiana will also have a minor musical
theme.

I haven't gotten a new state quarter in about 4 months.  :(

Yes, the Tennessee quarter is honoring country music, with a guitar and 
a fiddle.   I've only seen that first one myself.

I had one of them a couple of weeks ago, butdidn't hold on to it.

I saw one of the Tennessee quarters a week or two ago.  I was with some people
who actually cared, so we spent a few minutes with a magnifying glass trying
to figure out if the piece of sheet music on it was actual music, or just
looked like it from a distance.  We concluded that it wasn't, since the staves
only had four lines that we could find.

        So the fence on the Kentucky quarter is not really a stave (staff)
with the tune "My Old Kentucky Home"??

Maybe the missing 5th line is the result of inbreeding?   ;)

Most artistic evocations of printed music are unplayable.  I've seen 
four-line staves, six-line staves, imaginary or nonexistent clefs, 
double-staves in which neither the number of beats in the bar nor even 
the bar-lines matched up, impossible key signatures, the lot.

Well poot.  I had thought the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame show was going
to be broadcast on VH1 on Thursday night.  But it was Wednesday, and 
I missed it.  I was really looking forward to the Talking Heads set, 
too.  Did anyone see this?

Mickey's been enthusiastic about Patty Griffin; her new album 
"1000 Kisses" has been the subject of a couple of over-the-top raves
by Dave Marsh.  Thoughts?
