Again, a guitar virtuoso. Thanks for that.
Do not click the link to this catchy, naughty, funny & dirty country song if you dislike 4-letter words. It is full of them âŚ
One of the very few country songs which had my foot tapping the rhytm âŚ

Thanks for the laugh. Their channels has all kinds of tasteless humour!!
Who knew AI was soâŚhmmmâŚwhatâs the wordâŚpoetic?
Yep!
A veritable treasure trove of truly tasteless humour 
Besides the obvious (youtube), where do you find these gems?
Only YouTube.
The Almighty Algorithms reacted to me listening twice to one such song and suggested another one. I took the bait and WHAM, YouTube shows me more of them.
Since I donât subscribe to ANY YouTube channel at all the Almighty Algorithms are constantly trying to figure out what I might be interested in. The merest hint of an interest and YouTube latches on to it.

Yes. Of course. âLoudness AND DynamicsâŚâ
For a format that has far superior dynamic range, I remain frustrated at the âremasteredâ (remesstered? disastered?) discs that are ruined by tone-deaf engineers who compress and redline to the point of audible distortion. Audio is hyper-compressed to the point that say, kick drums sound like someone kicking a wet cardboard box.
Who demands this? What consumer expectations are being served? Is it all just âmonkey see, monkey do?â instead?
I attempt to ameliorate some of this with a 12AU7 tube preamp â if you understand how tubes handle signal peaks, you might think this would help.
Currently, I also use a RG Dynamics Pro20 Dynamic Range Expander with my main stereo. While capable of 20 dB of expansion, you do have to be careful with the settings, keeping the expansion to a minimum, or there is pumping.
In my garage, I have a Pioneer RG-1, also designed by the late Roger Grodinsky. Bonus is also an expanded stereo image. If I recall correctly, peaks at 2.5 kHz are analyzed according to threshold settings and VCAs are triggered.
I also own a Pioneer EX-9000 which offers three separate bands of expansion: Low, Mid, High. I believe it was produced until 1991 and reputedly was designed for CDs.
All require judicious use and none are a cure-all. Unfortunately with brickwalled audio, everything is treated as a peak, so theyâre ineffective.
They do sound good with FM radio though.
P.S. Is anyone else having strange formatting problems requiring multiple post edits?
Had to share this gem (for adults) which reminded me of this old joke:
Q: What do breasts and model railroads have in common?
A: Intended for kids but itâs mostly grown up men who play with them.

Well, you have to admire the two fellows who are laughing away but donât miss a beat. But I have to pause to wonder about the tall lad on electric - didnât so much as grin.
If anyone is interested in a different type of comedy âgoldâ, I recommend searching up âThe Yellow River Boysâ. Iâd link it but it would probably get flagged, soooo⌠Youâve been warned.

Those whacky Fortyâs. 1941: The Lady Eve. My wife and I watched it for the first time about 25 some odd years ago. It is a must see film for many reasons. But it was the less than subtle flirtation, and innuendo, that took us by complete surprise. Itâs rare, these days, to hear someone who knows how to skillfully âplayâ with language like that.

I was really thinking MacLean and MacLeanâŚ.
I was havinâ me a burger
In a dirty greasy spoon cafe
I was eatinâ it with relish
When a man beside me turned and said,
Whatâs that p**** hair doin on your bun?
I said I never say it lying there
Are you sure itâs really one?
CLASSIC Comedy.
