In our small one-bedroom condo? As efficiently as possible. The vinyl is on simple wooden shelving that covers one wall between the living room and the bedroom. Most of the CDs are in really cool pro storage units that I bought from a factory in Canada (check 'em out here: http://www.can-am.ca/); but that still doesn't hold them all. |

Actually, I suspect most of us were thinking specifically of EMI Studios (later named Abbey Road Studios, after the Beatles album of that name came out) in the St. John's Wood area of what is technically the City of Westminster, a borough of London.
But that's just the music-trivia geek in me talking.  |

Another one of my favorite tunes from another genre...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcSnqiRFFS4
I WISH I could buy the video of the complete "Transatlantic Sessions" that this clip came from, because it also included many good Irish musicians, such as Mary Black and, Donnal Lunny, along with Emmylou Harris and some other "Nashvillians"
(There seems to be a PAL version DVD occaisonally available in Europe, but I do not wish to do the PAL to NTSC conversion myself)
I just wish they would re-issue the whole thing in HD (not likely).

My second (used to be first) music love is bluegrass - especially that of Clarence White playing acoustic (he also played electric with the Byrds). It's a shame he was killed so young (29).

| Gamilan from Indonesia, spelling is mine and is probably wrong. All forms of jazz and blues and some American music. (O Brother Where Art Thou kind stuff) No ranking, I love it when I hear it. There used to be a Brit collection that I lost called ʻBlues Anthologyʻ Eric Clapton in his 20ʻs Jimmy Paige at sixteen John Mayall when you could say John who? and so forth. |

While at St. Louis, he studied under Kumu Lake and if you notice, there is a lot of the Kahauanu Lake Trio in his style, 'cuz he went "Da Udda School on da Hill."
Bruddah Jarret could shoot one basketball too...We used to play 31 at Kaunakakai Gym...Hooo dat gym was one sweatbox. We had to pile up on Jarret early in da game, 'cuz once he wen sink one basket, he was goin' put in 29 free throws in a row and dump all us! No mo even chance for rebound...he not goin miss once he get to da line! |
Aloha,

My Dad played piano accordion, Scandinavian style, then got into a group of Austrians, so I like accordion based stuff.
I play diatonic (harmonka in Europe), so:
Scandinavian,
Alpine-Cerman, Swiss, Austrian / Slovenian (Oberkrainer), Tejano and Norteno,
I play mandolin so--Blugrass
Dobro- old style Country, esp Jimmy Rogers
Guitar- Slack Key, Ragtime, Big Band, Oldtime
Like Jack said, good and bad!
Some Rap can be good, it's just "Talking Blues" but I can get along very well without the anger and swagger and "attitude", thank you.
Acoustic over electric (he says, with Fishmans and Sennheisers etc in the wooden instruments). |

Thanks to Jimmy Stewart & the movie "The Glenn Miller Story" which I
always watch when it reruns on TV. Elvis Pressley fan through his movies too.
Count me in as another Big Band fan. BTW Duke, is your member name by any chance a nod of the hat to Ellington via Stevie Wonder?! |

My goal is to be able to play as well as people think I can. |

Songs in the Key of Life was either the first or second LP I owned. |
