One more- (really good show)

Been on a Muse kick this past week. Some of my favorite lyrics on this one.

Sleigh Ride was really good.  Love Sierra's smile, she was having fun.

Thanks.  I'd never heard of them; very interesting.

Sinatra, 'Got You Under My Skin'.  He was one track short for the album this originally appeared on.  He calls Nelson Riddle at FOUR AM and begs him to bail him out, they're REAL close on their timeline to finish, master, and begin pressing to get it out to the stores.  Riddle charts this in the car running over there with his wife driving, he runs in, they cut it.

Speaking of Jones and Sinatra, I just watched a documentary about Paul Anka. Wow, the things I didn't know! The guy has written over 700 songs, including countless hits for others, including "She's a Lady" and "My Way". Our sister company OSA have been doing sound for Anka for a good 30 years now, but I've never known his history. I do have a cool, gold SM58 with his name on it that someone over there gave me. https://www.hbomax.com/movies/paul-anka-his-way/378efb82-8269-4175-81cb-0744c71498aa

I'm afraid that, technically, that isn't an SM58; it's an SM58S, which adds that slider switch you see there.  I had to Wiki it, as in 54 years of dealing with SR gear, I had never seen such a thing as a 58 with a switch, and had to look it up to see that the 58S is, in fact, a thing.  And not a good thing; first rule of sound reinforcement:  Never trust the Talent with an on/off switch!

Had the Billy Strings pop up in my side bar yesterday ( the algorithm is working proper!!!).
Unfortunately my network connection was very stuttery, need to check it out again today.


Edit: that was nice morning music.

I was just making sure you were paying attention.

Peter:

Geez this knocked loose an old bedrock memory:  Back in the day, we sold a Shure mic, looked like a 57 or 58 (took the exact same cartridge) with a slide on/off, came in a white plastic case with an included Shure XLR Lo Z to 1/4" male High Z, about the size of a cigar, silver cased metal cylinder, that was CHEAPER than a 57 or 58 in a box, late 1970's.

Any idea what THAT mic was ?  It's an ancient memory and I can't quite place it.

I dunno, it's been more than a week now.......
Sounds like maybe a Unisphere I 565 or a Unishpere A 585SA or 585SB.
But don't bet the farm on that.
