Copper

Welcome to Copper #44!

I hope you were able to attend the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. It was a big, bold show, and spirits were upbeat. I wandered around a bit, and was only able to hit a fraction of the 140+ rooms. A photo spread on the show is here.

Dan Schwartz continues looking at his influences; sadly, we conclude Seth Godin’s return engagement with some thoughts on what comes next;  Richard Murison offers a gripping look at Georg Solti's Ring Cycle;  Jay Jay French mentions the unmentionable audio word, cables; Duncan Taylor tells us about what went right and what went wrong with his latest recordings; Roy Hall remembers the early days of his career, not so fondly; Anne E. Johnson writes about a dynamic, versatile performer, Celisse Henderson ; and I write about how being a musician is dangerous work, and about an unjustly-overlooked anniversary---while the Summer of Love and Sgt. Pepper got all the attention.              .

Anne is back with a  fascinating  Something Old/Something New about The Great 78 Project; Industry News tells of  the closing of AKG's Vienna headquarters, the birth of Austrian Audio, and the closing of Cavalli Audio.

I'm happy to present a piece on digital audio from TAS and SoundStage! writer Vade Forrester; and our friend John Seetoo is back with ruminations on all that stuff that music-lovers accumulate.

We wrap up Copper #44 with another classic cartoon from Charles Rodrigues, and a Parting Shot of a Washington winery. >sigh<

Until next time----enjoy, and Happy Halloween!

Cheers, Leebs.
