This is a little off the subject, but today I'm listening to the new
MFSL LP pressings of Frank Sinatra's Nice 'n' Easy and Only the
Lonely, and they are spectacular. ?I'm not the biggest Sinatra fan in
the world, but I'm definitely enjoying these. ?The sound quality of
NNE is a little more impressive, but I like the performance on OTL
slightly more. ?Nelson Riddle's orchestra is the eiptome of lush and
romantic.

I'm glad to get that report, Marc, because I'm about to order one of
them. ?Thanks.
A dear old friend and colleague, George Roberts, played those sessions.
I just reviewed them for our Audiophile Recordings column, and I
pretty much said that I'll be using them for my next 50 or 60
equipment reviews. ?We're having a near blizzard here today (one of
the worst winter storms in recent Portland history) and it's nice to
have the fireplace going and one of these LPs spinning. ?I also have
the MFSL CD of NNE here for comparison and its very close in sound
quality to the LP. ?I'd give the edge to the LP just because it seems
to preserve the time and place of the recording.

Good luck with the storm. ?During my three years in Portland
I meant to write FIVE years in Portland...
, it only
snowed three of those years, and then only 3-4 inches, with not much
wind. ?Even a little snow pretty much closed down the city, so I can
only imagine what is happening now. ?Take care.-
It's been snowing for the past week. It snows all night, then it
turns to rain in the afternoon and washes away, and then it starts all
over again after the sun goes down. Today was different...I woke up
to about 3 inches of powder. It's now up to 7 or 8 on the ground, and
they're calling for 6 to 7 more by tonight. Then we'll have a nice
ice storm overnight. Tomorrow it will continue to snow.
I know it doesn't sound like a lot to colder parts of the country, but
when emergency services aren't used to this, it becomes a lot more
serious
I lived in Virginia during the Blizzard of '96. 42 inches in 24
hours, and a total of 60 inches in 48. So I've dealt with this
before. But Portland is seriously freaking out right now.
I can imagine. Take care...
