Re: Tom Russell Band (Rhythm Section) - where are they now?

1999-04-12 Thread Tommy W. Nordeng

 OK I know what Tom and Andrew are up to and Fats Kaplin has been with
 Manhattan Transfer, Suzy Bogguss etc. but what of Billy Troiani and Charles
 Caldarola...

 What a F#$%#n great band - gone but not forgotten:)

No.defenitely not forgotten. I remember expressing the same feeling some
months ago on this list...
Last time I spoke with Billy he was living over here (Oslo, Norway) because
his daughter lives here with her mother. He's been playing with different
bands, actually including a Tom Russell showcase on Gamla. I asked about
Charles, and I think he said that he was still druming.in some
bluesband. But I'm really not sure (this was pretty late)

 One thing that really makes a big difference in MP3 playback quality, in
 addition to 44khz/128kb encoding is the type of computer you are playing
 them on. I had a Mac with a 75Mhz 603 processor with only 22Khz sound
 output. needless to say, MP3's played back on that machine sounded
 terrible. now I bought a G3 and they do sound as good as cd's. Winamp or
 MacAmp seem to do a pretty go job playing MP3's. I use Sound Edit 16 for
 encoding.

Based on the mp3 thread it seems like there are quite a few macers on the
list. I don't know why that surprised me. Afterall there are several
reasons why macers should be abundant here:
1) People on this list obviously have good taste and a sense of quality
2) Mac (Apple) is surperior over Intel on sound and image
3) Mac is alternative, Intel is mainstream.
