As would I.
I loved LPs, and the whole glorious ritual of playing a record - setting it carefully in place, moving the arm, and the stylus - also carefully - and then, sitting back to enjoy and listen to what you were playing.
Got a tip for us?

The classic, timeless, live recording of Jive Samba
Excellent.
In that case, among others, here are a few Baroque pieces that I shall recommend to you:
Chaconne by Francois Le Cocq (1685-1729) (Brandon Acker has a nice version).
Canario by G G Kapsberger (1580-1651)
Toccata Arpeggiata by G G Kapsberger (1580-1651)
Folio by Gaspar Sanz (1640-1710)
RIP Tina (and if ya dig the fabulous Lisa Fischer in this clip, check out the movie 20 Feet From Stardom):
Dave Matthews Band just released a new album. I shouldn’t feel embarrassed for liking them, but if we're being real there's a social stigma towards liking their music lol.
Their new song "Looking For A Vein" is absolutely beautiful-

I think it is less about liking DMB than it is liking music from the 90s. DMB does know how to groove, but the 90s (read: newer than 1992) to be brutally honest, was not good.
If you want a social stigma, Nickelback is that band. We were force fed that crap, and a DJ was even fired for playing it.
BL.
Yup Tina Turner was on playlist on my train ride this morning. Sad she's gone but happy she overcame a lot of **** to have a long and pretty happy life - and made many of us happy too.
Agree.
An absolute legend, - gutsy and gifted - and an amazing performer; what a role model, and what a life.
Considering they sing in German, they have incredible popularity around the globe This weekend they have played two nights at the Olympic Stadium here in Helsinki.
Listening to some Ella, from before she was ELLA:

Over the last ten to fifteen years or so, I have seen them twice now in the states. It amazes me how many people will sing their songs!!!
They put on one heck of show!!
This amazing version of Joy Spring, which is so richly harmonized that I almost can't even tell it's the song!
Hard to get a better group of musicians than Bob gathered for his 1983 Infidels album...
Mark Knopfler (guitar) Mick Taylor (guitar) Alan Clark (keyboards) Robbie Shakespeare (bass) Sly Dunbar (drums)...
