It was fifty years ago today that Columbia Records released the Byrds' first hit Mr. Tambourine Man. It's hard to believe that much time has passed. And yet, the song still captivates me every time I hear it. The recording had a definite impact on me, and in some measure I'm sure, had something to d...

That's how I do it. Piece of cake. Most of the ordeal for me was the fact that the string winders I have don't play well with the keywinds on the Rick, so I end up winding by hand.

But a battery can die at an inopportune moment. the AC adaptor makes the unit more reliable, but may induce some noise into the system from hum, RF, or electrostatic source. My experience has been just that, e...
