“With Jazz and Conversation, from the foot of Mt. Belzoni”
No Static At All!
“The Nightfly” is a GREAT album with superb sound quality...even on 16-bit/44khz CD. I have the original vinyl LP - sound quality is REALLY good, too.
The best sounding version is a 24-bit/48khz mastering from the original studio master mix and available on HDTracks as a High Res download.

Argh. You beat me to it. First thing that came to my mind! :-)
Just passing on info from a Fagen/Becker interview...based on Elliot Schiener’s experience.
“Play Misty for me.”
“Wow man!” (in my best stoner DJ voice), “that is really, really heavy.”
Beat me to it.
hdtracks, cool. First I was aware of something like this.
“When the FM signal from the moon Ganymede was decided it said “BESURETODRINKYOUROVALTINE.”
Do you remember
Back in nineteen sixty-six?
Country Jesus, hillbilly blues
That’s where I learned my licks.
Oh, from coast to coast and line to line
In every county there
I’m talkin’ ‘bout that outlaw X
Is cuttin’ through the air.
Anywhere, y’all
Everywhere, y’all
I heard it, I heard it
I heard it on the X.
We can all thank Doctor B
Who stepped across the line.
With lots of watts he took control
The first one of its kind.
So listen to your radio
Most each and every night
‘Cause if you don’t I’m sure you won’t
Get to feeling right.
Anywhere, y’all
Everywhere, y’all
I heard it, I heard it
I heard it on the X.
As local/LA teens, Jeff Porcaro & David Paich began getting raves for their session work. That led to them playing on Boz Scagg’s “Silk Degrees” album with David Paich co-writing the song, “Lodi Shuffle”.
Eventually, the duo started their own band - Toto. The song “Rossana” was about Jeff Porcaro’s affair with Rosanna Arquette.
I think there are more references to the song than any other reply on this thread.
Good Morning Vietnam!
To play Hi-Res downloads, you need a special “software player” (PC/Apple) and an external DAC to feed the digital signal to for processing to analog.
Now there are many “audio computers” that can do play & process the 24-bit music files.
If done correctly, the Hi-Res files can get VERY, VERY close to the master tape.
Interesting conversation here, way over my head

It’s just Trump’s voter landside echoing off of Ganymede and bouncing back to us!! 😊
Is it playing classical music?
