What an awesome listen, for those who care.


It is beautiful here in Central Florida, so everyone has their windows open, meaning no a/c power surges. Just wonderful for my system. I played some Billy Idol stuff, because in my better/earlier days, I would karaoke to him. I like him and his bandmates. Enjoyed the listen. But THEN, I played Nardia (most here should know, it has been a reference track, for years). I had it turned up to my favorite listening level, and I was floored, literally. My systems presentation took me to a time when I visited some small jazz clubs in NYC, and I was in heaven. So, as I constantly say here, it is only about the musicianship and the composition, well today, I felt proud to be an audiophile. SOUNDED GREAT!!!

Thank you , that’s very relaxing for a rainy day in California. FWIT I grew up in house with a piano and just enjoy it. Thanks for a childhood flashback too. Best Wishes , Mike B. 

Sorry, by Patricia Barber, from Cafe Blue, but the Hashimoto Nardia is very nice.

In case others are as confused as I was:
