Aw shoot! I missed Adam Ant! We started watching hootenanny but it was on sister-in-laws telly and they wanted to see Graham Norton. I'm annoyed now. He was my first fantasy pop star. Prince Charming, etc... Love love loved him.

Lincolnshire Posy, by Percy Grainger; Frederick Fennell, Eastman Wind Ensemble, 1958. Mercury Living Presence CD reissue 1991. Recording engineers haven't learned a cotton-pickin' thing in 54 years: no modern recording sounds better. Certainly, no band conductor has surpassed Fennell, and it's likely none ever will. IMHO, of course. A fabulous recording, and a must-have for anyone who likes concert band music.

In my mind - tubes vs. transistors - accounts for some of the loss of the texture in recorded music.

I can't disagree with that, AA--my line and phono stages are tubed--though I was referring to recording technique. In the old days, you had two or three mics, and *maybe* 3 dB of EQ available. You tweaked mic placement until the raw signal was good enough to feed the lathe. Now, engineers have a bajillion knobs and an irresistible urge to twist all of them. I know, I know, time is money, and engineers are cheaper than musicians, but quality is no longer the primary goal.

That said, today's best tube gear is far superior to anything available in the Golden Age. I know I'm pulling music from old LPs that their engineers never heard. They had no idea how good they were!

I play keyboards and have always preferred a mic'd piano recorded well, to an electric piano.
