Too bad, he would have been in great company:
"Last of the Whorehouse Piano Players" - a CD of music by Ralph Sutton
& Jay McShann.
I think the young Albeniz had a few gigs in some seedy places as well.

This would apply to people who say music is bad when not played on gut strings,
when played with period-inappropriate instruments, when played with the wrong
kind of thumb, or played on a sax when they used clarinets in the old days. In
the jazz world a lot of people argue about what is jazz a

This is either tautology or useful advice for anyone in the habit of judging
music by its smell.
It's not a tautology. After all, I said so!

Hi David,
Can you recall what frequency range(s) is(are) responsible for bringing
out the 'plicky' sound? I sometimes have trouble with my Zoom H2 in
that respect and it would be good to get a steer as to where to attack
it with the EQ in my software (Audacity). At the moment I cu

For what it is, the Zoom H2 is a decent sounding box, and very handy. I
use it for teaching classes on how to get started in AV. But you cannot
really improve the sound with EQ and a notch filter, the sound of the

Dear David,
Didn't get your point. As you say, the general public is
pretty diverse, ok that's fine. Then, you change the focus to the lack
