I always like(d) Dave's old house/old car/ big speaker discussions. He was heavy on the old coot factor, but that's fine in doses. He also apparently was well timed on making the Tom Waits for no one joke.
Agreed on Dave's photos - I see he has made song comments in the past few months.
Actually it looks like DaveInVa made a similar comment from effluent origins down the scroll. I miss old Dave, though I'm sure he wasn't a favorite of many here. Interesting guy. Hope things worked well for him out there...

I always liked the cantankerous old fart (I think that's what he called himself)...had some nice vintage audio gear, and advice.

This forum has been around for years and you finally made that joke.

wow. that's an awful lot of breath wasted on a troll.
Is s/he really a troll? The only comments they've offered indicate ignorant/narrow-minded views regarding vocalists and music.
Are such people beyond salvation? (maybe I shouldn't ask you ; > ) )
My kids have periodically fallen into the habit of thinking "I don't like that = that sucks!", particularly regarding music. I think as they mature, they are slowly coming around to a more tolerant and open-minded view of things.
I'd go back 2,000 years to a peaceful California tribe such as the Chumash and listen to a live concert around the campfire when the only music was live music. And when there was nothing in the sky but birds.
Make up your mind; do you want primitive, rootsy music performed by the song creator, or polished performances by trained, talented singers?
———————————————————-
This is a common carp in the Tom Waits/Leonard Cohen and other song comment threads. You could find lots of other examples of popular performers who were not accomplished, pitch-perfect singers (Jimmy Durante, Louis Armstrong).
If you want to limit your listening to music featuring trained/instinctively polished vocalists with operatic control of pitch and phrasing, be my guest. You'll be the poorer for it.
