I've never bought an SACD before, but I have a couple on their way - from the RCA Living Stereo era - those albums were recorded on three-track tape then mixed down to stereo for their album releases. On SACD you get all three channels - I'm interested to see how that sounds because while these things may have been recorded on three-track they were never really meant to be heard that way.

Page five? Really?

Two motion pictures arrived today - don't know if I'll have time for both but I know which will be first.

Just finishing up symphony one and am happy with it - I'll keep the Ormandy, too, but this is beautifully played - the sound isn't completely to my liking but these are from the 1970s and this type of concert hall sound was becoming the thing - unlike the Columbia, which was much more present, but this isn't too bad in that regard and the music's the thing.

How many here have actually heard a Sibelius symphony?

Thanks for the link for Sabra Hummus, DR Jane. When I got home there was a voicemail from my local supermarket (Giant) listing all of the different sizes and varieties of Sabra that were being recalled. I listened to them all, waiting for the bottom line--do I return it for a refund? Only problem--there wasn't enough room left on the voicemail for the whole message.

Ravel is my fave of these - I like some Debussy, but not all - in fact my favorite thing he did was his orchestrations of Satie's two Gymnopedis. Ravel can do no wrong, really. I like Faure, too. Milhaud is something special and I've got a complete set of the symphonies on its way. Today I should get another set of Sibelius and one that I hope I like best. I hate the Amazon delivery service at least the guy who services this area - even though he knows it's a UPS Store he likes to come very late in the afternoon at the end of his day, which I've complained about - he ought to come there first and deliver whatever he's got to those multiple boxes. It's inane but who knows if they ever even pass on that info.

When I was a ups driver the route was set by the center management team,to the most efficient route and the truck (package car in ups speak ) was loaded accordingly. The drivers cannot choose which deliveries to make first

Well the chair was scheduled for delivery today

vixmom · « **Reply #135 on:** November 22, 2016, 05:22:09 PM »

I checked with my mom and she was all ready for delivery

vixmom · « **Reply #136 on:** November 22, 2016, 05:22:30 PM »

I checked with the store and they were all set for delivery

vixmom · « **Reply #137 on:** November 22, 2016, 05:22:48 PM »

They showed up exactly when they said they would

vixmom · « **Reply #138 on:** November 22, 2016, 05:23:01 PM »

With the wrong color chair

vixmom · « **Reply #139 on:** November 22, 2016, 05:24:18 PM »

Instead of burgundy the salesperson keyed in the code for "stone". Which is beige

vixmom · « **Reply #140 on:** November 22, 2016, 05:25:21 PM »

So I spent 28 minutes of A very busy work day talking to the store and getting the chair reordered

vixmom · « **Reply #141 on:** November 22, 2016, 05:27:13 PM »

After spending 15 minutes on the phone with the delivery guy who had a limited English vocabulary with my mom shouting various suggestions in thebackground

vixmom · « **Reply #142 on:** November 22, 2016, 05:29:56 PM »

I finally got him to understand that we were refusing delivery and he had to bring the chair back from whence it came

vixmom · « **Reply #143 on:** November 22, 2016, 05:30:24 PM »

So now the chair will be delivered on Drcember 6th

vixmom · « **Reply #144 on:** November 22, 2016, 05:32:10 PM »

So while I held a vague hope that I would spend Thamksgiving basking in the glow of a happy mother with her longed for chair (albeit without arm covers) well...

Hello, everyone.

I went to my favorite food store today and was surprised that they weren't particularly busy. I mentioned this to the cashier, who said that many of their customers left town early.

I drove home listening (again) to the Sherman Bros.

The NY Times had a couple articles about how to avoid contentious conversations at the holiday dinner table. they even had a list of topics to discuss instead. I find this both humorous and a real sign of the times. (Well, the Times, too.)
