  1. I second this motion. Here's a beautiful old KC 300 with casters and a piece of classic gear stacked on top that lots of members here at KC would love to run through it, given a chance.
  2. Mick Jagger’s favourite Canadian band….in 1966.
  3. My latest sig probably crystallizes the crux of the fidelity issue for most of us.
  4. Most enjoyable: the Hammond M3 and Leslie 145 I used for a while in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Most useful: the Nord Electro 2 I bought around 2002 after a long hiatus from gigging. Its sound quality, versatility and portability were remarkable for the time. The best: still looking for it.
  5. “The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.” Hunter S. Thompson
  6. Sunshine (Go Away Today) -- Jonathan Edwards Sunshine Superman -- Donovan
  7. If I get to choose which one (and I’m still breathing), can I be Don Henley?
  8. I was going to suggest maybe brilliant base stealer Ronald Acuna or his Braves equipment manager had been testing a new pair of spikes on the OP’s board while he was out of the room to see how they’d perform on smooth plastic, but that would just be silly and a waste of the OP’s time and patience.
  9. Two great rockers from my generation: Mark Stein and Jon Lord.
  10. I’ve ordered KM stuff from these guys in the past. It sometimes takes a while to get here. https://www.avshop.ca/cases-amp-racks-keyboard-cases-amp-stands/k18880-keyboard-stand
  11. My trusty old Electro 6D 73 now lists for $4,000 Canadian. What was a Corolla when I bought it is now a Camry.
  12. Yup. Dua Lipa’s mobile cage dance opener at the Grammys could have been an audition for next year’s Super Bowl booking. Lots of muscular dancing, skimpy costumes, clever prop use, pesky backing musicians kept well out of sight. As with Usher’s nutrient-free half-time roller-dance spectacle this year, there was way more food for the eyes than the ears, a triumph of choreography over music chops. Who would have thought the cheesy performance model patented by the June Taylor dancers on the Jackie Gleason show (and refined by Mel Brooks in “Springtime for Hitler” from The Producers) would find new life in the foreground of big pop music shows today? Talk about acid flashbacks….
  13. I think you can get them at your local Walter White Castle.
