Good call Jitters; wouldn't have remembered that one. Wikipedia and another source say it was an "electric timbale" (that's a quote from someone at Hi). But I've never heard of one of those. I wonder if they mean something like the Synare? Which would not be a drum-machine per se, but it is an analo...

Point of Order-- The movie I was riffing off of was called "A Bronx Tale." But, your story is very funny. You should go back to the group with a copped Hemingway story featuring a mackinaw jacket, like Danny Bonaduci did in that episode of "Partridge Family" where Susan Dey is the student teacher gi...

I was going to write a song about Frankie Four-Fingaz and Tommy Two Times (Two Times).

Then I changed my mind.

How's that list coming, Mark? Any new additions?

I was listening to Shuggie Otis the other day and thought of you and this thread...

Oh, gawsh shed... Soooo many. It depends on if you really mean sound, or performance, specific or irrespective of genre, etc., etc. I could fill up 20 posts. I'd bet Tony would say something similar. I will say two that are killer for both sound and performance (but very different) are Tony Williams...

I had the Seeburg app. I had to ditch it due to iPhone overcrowding, but worth looking for if you're a sucker for environmental kitsch.

Prices for pre-owned Oktava-Mod and MJE mikes are about to go through the roof.

Has anybody else received the e-mail?

My former studio associate went to Tape camp and loved it. I have not been to Tape Camp (it's on "the list" of to-do's), but I have been to three of Welcome to 1979's Engineer & Producer Recording Summits. WELL worth the price of admission and travel. I have no doubt Tape Camp is the same, only bett...

I don't know if you'd consider it Soul or not, but it certainly has its connections... I picked-up a copy of Marley's "Natty Dread" on CD; hadn't heard it in awhile. Both that album's version of "No Woman, No Cry," and "So Jah Seh" use a Lowrey, Wurlitzer, or Mini-Pops type unit as part of the rhyth...

Yeah Mark, I don't know how much you'll find from that era. 60's I'd think almost nothing. You mentioned Sly & the Family Stone ("Family Affair"); I think I heard that Roxy Music's "Dance Away" uses a Korg Mini Pops. I don't know what all else you'll find... If you haven't already, you might search ...
