A Get Well Present for Deli

[prime minister]

Hey folks.
Our fellow member and friend Deli is dealing with some health issues now. I thought it might be nice to just get him something to help pass the time, and also let him know we are thinking about him. Maybe an album or two? An album and a book? Nothing too extravagant, as he is a humble guy, but just a little something. How about $5 each?

Also any thoughts on some music he might like? An audio related book?

Paul McGowans 99% True is a fun read. It's a combination of his autobiography, and the history of his businesses, culminating in PS audio.

A few thoughts on his musical taste:

Post in thread 'New records arrived today!'
New records arrived today!

I see he mentions Taj Mahal. I'm in! How do we make this happen, Erik?

I can do the shopping. Or I can forward cash on to whoever wants to do so.

I'm pretty krappy at picking great records - not much knowledge, I'm more of a "poke and hope" kinda guy. I'm happy to kick in some funding.

Feinman's autobiographies are a perennial favorite in audio communities too

Can I toss in my fiver? Who do I send it to?

Great idea! I always wonder what happens to some of our haven brethren when they are active and then go silent. Five spot sent. Good looking out!

I think @Ernie and Deli had a fair bit of musical overlap.

 

[PJC]

Sure, I'm in. Where do I/we send our five?

 

[Pup]

I'm in too..

 

[prime minister]

Does anyone live close to Deli? To drop off a package?

Past discussions with Paul indicate that his taste in, and knowledge of, music may rival our legendary friends, Eric and Edwin. Both broad and deep.
Nonesuch, Third Man, Big Legal Mess Records, True North Records, and Fat Possum Records have very interesting, if less well-known music, as well as legacy artists. (I used to buy from 4 Men With Beards, but they've been suffering from QC issues) Perhaps a gift certificate for a seller that has both books and music.

Actually, here is a book I enjoyed, very much.

Mississippi Hill Country Blues 1967

The University Press of Mississippi (UPM) publishes books that interpret the South and its culture to the nation and the world, scholarly books of the highest distinction, and books vital to readers in African American studies, Caribbean studies, comics studies, film and media studies, folklore...

A must read for fans of the Blues.

I'd rather take the chance and something more tangible if we can. If we pick well, he is sure to like it. And even if it's not to his taste, a well written book is still a pleasure.

Plus, it will always have meaning for him, as something chosen for him by friends.

Further to your label choices, have they released any truly killer sounding records recently? Anything that had people raving?
