Mike, 	

Because you asked: 	

1. J.D. sumner and The Stamps Quartet. Southern Gospel. J.D. Sumner is the
lowest bass singer in the world. He is documented at 32 Hz! This was live and
outside. He was going to retire because of throat problems, and was training a
replacement to sing bass, a young man named Richard Sterbin. The Stamps sang
behind Elvis Presley the last seven years of Elvis's life. Elvis did not want
J.D. to retire and begged him to stay on. J.D. did and got Richard a job with
the Oakridge Boys, where Richard still is today. This was 1972, by the way. This
is a song J.D. wrote called "Walk That Lonesome Road" There are some note son
there that will separate the woofers from the wimps!  	

2. Floyd Cramer, the noted RCA Nashville studio piano wizard. This song is
Cotton Fields with some fantastic notes off a harmonica played by Charlie McCoy.

3. Lacy J. Dalton, a Country vocalist doing "Sixteenth Avenue". A great slower
tune with wonderful lyrics, but some sharp bass guitar notes that make a good
woofr snap, instead of a muffled or muddy note. 	

4. Pete Fountain, noted dixieland jazz clarinet player. A longer song with
several of the band's musicians being featured, trombone, saxophone, drums and
so forth. 	

5. Arlo Guthrie. A folk singer with perhaps the best rendition ever of "The
Spirit Of New Orleans". Nice vocal with terrific background instrumental. 	

6. Guitars Unlimited. Beautiful rendition of "The Girl From Ipenema" (sp?)
Several different types of guitars with audio pick up. You can hear the musician
pluck the strings. 		

7. Olivia Newton John. Her hit from about 1974 "If You Love Me Let Me Know".
Nice mix with a bass singer in the background and nice clear high notes.
