Turntables used to all be belt driven, so wear and tear would throw off the rpms. I have a turntable from the early 80s that has a strobe so you can adjust the timing to get it exactly to 45 or 33. Wonder if that's still a thing? Speaking of harp players, I recall a scene from the last waltz where robbie was talking about a show he was at where junior wells (I think) was blowing so hard he needed a bucket next to him so he could have a receptacle to spit blood in. Uh, that was probably Sonny Boy Williamson II (Rice Miller). He had, and died, of TB. I don't think Jr. Wells had TB. He just was a little s--t. And not all that talented when all is said and done. Yes, the timing strobe was an easy way to get it to 45 or 33. But what about the recording tapes that ran faster toward the end? Those songs might be 1/2 step off. That would drive me crazy. The full step I could compensate for, but not the 1/2 step without the adjustable turntable. Musicians will know what I am talking about, but the rest of you, not so much. It ain't easy having an ear. Pixie |

I am in that group of folks not blessed with your ear and of course not with your skills. Darn. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences. I will probably buy a lower end model with simple, simple controls.  |

The surprise this U2 fan got when I thought the next video was The streets have no name but the video was Pride 😮😏
might as well add my fave U2 song while I'm at it. Saw this on MTV a LONG time ago and this song blew me away. never seen or heard anything like it before.

It has been a while since this thread was moving, and in honor of a Friday, and the other thread discussing what is the best NHC, lets hear some tunes about locations where offices are located (since they were almost all on the last posting).

Since LA West is a likely landing spot for some of the new judges.

Yes, a good tune about locations. Albert King is so unorthodox, perhaps because he plays upside down (and backwards?). |

Fearless leader fowlfinder Are we doing songs for nhc cities or all Oho cities? Happy Summer Saturday to all! Either or. I'm not picky. In most cases there is an NHC office in the city with a vanilla OHO office as well. (Really I just listened to some Albert King and thought everyone else should too.) |

Listening to something I like is often the driving factor in my music posts too!! |

Lets do both Portlands.
Portland Maine,
and Portland OR
(I grew up with the "other rose parade" but felt this goes down smoother than Sleater-Kinney's "Light Rail Coyote" which I think is a great song, so it gets the node despite the confusion).

About to start a hike but rest assured I’ll be making some contributions!
Listening to blind faith at the moment. Hmm that fits too 🤣

Yes, a good tune about locations. Albert King is so unorthodox, perhaps because he plays upside down (and backwards?). As a right handed player I have always wondered if playing upside down (the original lefties guitar) effected how lefties like King and Hendrix used their bends and thought about their scales. |
