What Are You Listening To? - October, 2024

[Bengel]

Still cranking it for Phil

He was classically trained (to keep with the theme of the day)

Looks like a great site with a ton of variety. I do have a SW Radio stored in my basement somewhere. Might resurrect it and give it a dial. Never was a radio guy, but never was afraid to experiment, either.

It's reminiscent of an old school radio broadcast, which I used to avoid like the plague...LOL I've been listening on the desktop PC and phone.

Last night I enjoyed some more Stan Getz though I struggled a bit with the 'with strings' parts. I love Stan Getz & I love strings, but not on the same plate

This was followed by some cracking guitar jazz from Grant Green and the boys, a great way to finish an evening.

I guess some would call me a radio fanatic as they are all over the house.

We have several battery powered and one hand crank powered for emergencies.

In the bedroom is a Cambridge Sound Works AM/FM/SW with a CD player.



In the kitchen is a Yamaha Micro Stereo with AM/FM and CD player.



And there is a small collection of German table radios from the 1950s and 60s that are on display. We have 15 and would have more but they do take up a lot of space.

They're retired and haven't been turned on in years. I like the large ones with the "horse teeth" selector buttons. They represent a last gasp effort to keep the radio as the main source of entertainment in the home.... And we all know how that worked out. The one below is a Saba and is identical to the one JFK had in the oval office. He listened to the news on it during the Cuban crisis. (I have one identical to it).



Even if you don't care for radio, it would be wise to keep one in case of emergencies.

Anything classical. Can’t stand today’s music and I’m only in my 30’s!

This is Elliot Sloss, a student at Curtis, opening a recital with the Bach Unaccompanied Suite for Cello

Lovely to hear & a delight to watch.

I've gotta listen to that whole thing.

Last night I enjoyed some amazing music by Roland Kirk (thanks again Keith). Blind from the age of 2 this multi instrumentalist really needs to be heard, he can play 2 saxophones at the same time and has even made music with a piece of garden hose

Also, listening to his beautiful flute playing I now see where Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull learned his technique.



Right now I'm listening to the Moody Blues live at the Albert Hall in 2000.

Love that old push button Houton (?) job. I have a friend who collects and repairs old radios and tv's . . . he's given me a couple of castoffs and I do have a crank job as well.

Love that old push button Houton (?) job.

Don't know what the "Houton" means in the file name. Instead of shooting a pic of mine I just took the image off the web.

Here are a couple of models I would love to find. If I did I would make space for them.
