.....after almost throwing our CD player across the room when it continued to tell me there was 'no disc' even though I had just put one in...I got out some early Nina Simone with George Wallington on piano..who both sound wonderful even on the Spin O Rama label...vinyl, even with some pops and crackles has everything there, unlike the digital technology thats been used for so long. The description of digital that sticks with me is that it is like looking through a screen door to the out of doors and in each opening selecting only one color...it removes so much depth.
But, on the other hand, I really want to hear more of the music you are all suggesting. We have always joked that we would get a computer instead of this Kindle3G, when we were unable to walk but maybe we don't really want to wait that long.
Michael, I am going to try to find that documentary through a friend who gets Netflix.

EDIT...now...it's Patti Smith (NOT Smyth) a 1978 album on Arista AB4171 The Patti Smith Group "Easter"...can't get it loud enough...wonderful poet.

Oh, Judith...Nina and George Wallington on vinyl!!! My heart is held by vinyl. NOTHING compares to the sound of an album in the wee early morning hours. It is so nice to have a place to share my passion for music with others.

Now I am starting to wonder if Netflix offers live performances...thank you for that idea.

Homegrown music ! My son Mike has a solo project out today on Band Camp . He plays all the instruments and does all vocals. Proud of that boy. Speaking of vinyl , he wanted that analog sound that digital does not capture. They used techniques like placing drum set down wooden hallway from microphone . You can hear ambient sounds not normally heard on digital recordings. So , if you go to BandCamp - search for Mike Spero , The record is called Nomadic Romantic.
Support local music even if it's on the internet and you live thousands of miles away!

For those who love the sound of vinyl records, here is a short documentary film on listener sponsored, free form WFMU Radio.

Ellen McIlwaine queen of the slide guitar. I heard her a few times in the early 70's. She opened one concert with an explosive tribute to Hendrix. No backing band just solo. Quite a impassioned singer. Here's one:
