orgel Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 who says to David above if he's not kidding "Joplin, Hendrix" and guessing "Van Zandt" Sort of kidding, but that would then be Janis, Jimi, and I'm guessing Jim (as opposed to Van, who's maybe a tad overweight but otherwise in reasonable shape, considering his age and profession). Pãolo will clear it up, I'm sure. --David Listening Room: Mac mini (Roon Core) > iMac (HQP) > exaSound PlayPoint (as NAA) > exaSound e32 > W4S STP-SE > Benchmark AHB2 > Wilson Sophia Series 2 (Details) Office: Mac Pro > AudioQuest DragonFly Red > JBL LSR305 Mobile: iPhone 6S > AudioQuest DragonFly Black > JH Audio JH5 Link to comment

christopher3393 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 ...I could hear some of the great music that has been lost. For me, particularly Greco-Roman antiquity, medieval, and renaissance, but one could broaden this quite a bit. Link to comment

He was the first composer I can think of that started actually recording his works, first on a gramophone and then with a microphone. Besides, I absolutely love The Dream of Gerontius.

I grew up in Downey California and Karen and her brother Richard were one of Downey's proudest accomplishments along with the Rockwell Plant that built the command module for the Apollo moon missions.

I cannot remember my own name half the time, but I know exactly where I was and what I was doing, in my car, driving down Imperial Blvd in Downey CA to get some food at Taco Bell (hey I was only 20) when I heard that news on KLOS radio in Los Angeles.
