Well I'm a Rhapsody subscriber and listen to a lot of music sitting at the computer while I write reports, so it's just 256k (?) over my Klipsch 2.1 speakers. They have like 28 of the Legs and Boots albums on Rhapsody though and they all sound pretty fun, nice to have a little variation over the studio cuts if you like her tunes, plus I suppose you could figure out if any songs would be worth buying in HD at Music Giants.

I've never enjoyed compressed music over a real hifi system, don't know if there's some way to spruce it up with eq or dsp, seems doubtful, but it's fun while I'm sitting at the computer, I feel like I have my own jukebox.

I actually prefer her live releases to her studio albums. Her first live DVD, Welcome to Sunny Florida, is one of my favorite concert DVDs, and I collected her other series of "official bootlegs." However, the newer ones being only for download and much more expensive than those releases turned me off. The good news is I can pick and choose among the tracks, so sometime I'll bite the bullet and purchase the covers and improv tracks.

Looks like I will have to pick up a copy of WTSF, I am a fan as well, thanks for the tip, she keeps going strong IMHO, Beekeeper keeps up, in graduate school I wrote a paper once while listening to one of her songs played in a loop for 10 hours straight, sure kept me going . . .

Buddy Guy, Skin Deep. Good stuff thanks for the recommendation Rick.

Sure Rick, rub it in. I gotta wait til X-mas. How do you like it?

I'm on track 5 and so far it's been great. I think you'll really like it Ed.

Ok, now I have to check that one out Rick.

Can't wait. Gotta give the kids something to give me for the holiday. Also put Blues Singer on the list. They have no clue but whatever makes Dad happy. Glad to hear you are enjoying it. Turn it up a bit and maybe I can hear it up here in Cheddarland.

What you can't hear it Ed? I got the house all to myself so ya know them M80s are being pushed just a little bit

Randy, you'll like this one for sure.

I think the winds are out of the East, I can hear it Rick, I can hear it...
