Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
That's the name of a band (asterisks included).
Neither ignorance nor fatigue may be acceptable excuses but I plead both.

No one I'd rather break the law for than you, ms b. Except perhaps MC, to whom I have not spoken in waaayyy too long. Send her my best if you talk to her.
The song was my initial foray into ripping LPs to digital. I just listened to it & noticed the stylus slipping into the groove. I may clean it up at some point but it was a rush job, and honestly I like it. Pursuant to our headphones discussion I find the noise from LPs (by which I mean the little bit of ambient noise that even the best analog recordings have, not a bunch of pops and clicks) very nice on headphones. I'm not being nostalgic. The lack of noise on digital recordings can be really disorienting on headphones when one channel is silent. Did the channel go out? Did I lose my hearing? No, it's just a silent passage. You don't notice it on speakers because there's ambient noise in even the quietest rooms, but with the isolation of headphones that sudden silence is just too much. Um... too little. Something like that. Anyway, I just don't like it. Vive la hiss!
And how long before someone tells me that hiss is masculine?

That query needs more information. Where was the high school? Where was the guy?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think he's guessing that it's a cover, in which case it doesn't matter what High School, etc.

I just finished reading this really well-written piece about HBCU marching bands - specifically Prarie View A&M's Marching Storm in today's Times. The video that accompanies it covers everything the story does and is very good as well.

OK, for you music people, thoughts on Tom Russell, specifically Man From God Knows Where
I get goosebumps from it, but I think there is some self-identification going on. (Half my ancestry is recent Scand immigrants, other half are are farmers of irish immigrant origin. And then we spread out to Cali and had black sheep and don't really resemble our rootsand really are only americans and...) I mean, I've found the records of my grandmother's passage through Ellis Isle, and that stuns me how recent that was.
Is it just sentiment, or is it really as good as I like to think? (Not that a criticism will make the goosebumps go away... I like his voice.)
