Out with the old ....
.... finally decided to unhook and retire my 70's vintage (design) audio equipment and replaced it all with a simple to use, "smart" Samsung surround system. Only thing I didn't use was it's passive subwoofer. Instead, I made a voltage divider network and am using my existing powered subwoofer. Got a Blu-Ray video version of the Eagles Final Tour (Melbourne) and was very surprised at how good it sounded. Technology has come a long way since the days of huge speakers. |

I didn't realize how much I liked the Eagles till We stopped at Winslow Arizona and heard all the great songs they did. -- x |

Reggie Fecteau on Bass, and the long hair'd guy is John Tillerman. This is 'The Long Run" Eagles tribute band. they're extremely good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mzUYPdM4i0 |

An interesting side note (to me anyway): When I was watching the BluRay video of the Eagles Final Tour it was really the first time I paid attention to Steuart Smith ... the guitarist who replaced Don Felder after Felder was fired from the group. I think Smith is every bit as good a guitarist as Felder is, if not better. But what really caught my attention was the double neck guitar he used for "Hotel California". I had a Fender double neck (a 6 string neck and a 12 string neck) and the one he was playing didn't look right to me. I looked it up and the one he is playing is an Ernie Ball Music Man custom built for him and is one of only two in existence. What is unique about it is that his has the six string neck on top and the 12 string neck on the bottom unlike all other doubles that have them the other way around, like on the Fender I had. Little things like that catch my attention for some reason. |

Concerning my nstriments, Richard. I’ve caught oddities like you’ve mentioned as well, and you can’t really explain it to anyone else. Only another gear head would understand. |

Well, there has to be something worthwhile you could have done with your lack of education and marketable job skills. You really have to make up your mind. A short time ago you were bragging about how much money you and your wife were making with your "marketable job skills". Then this week you were telling us you were each barely breaking the 6 figure line ... in one of the most expensive "cost of living" corridors in the world. |
