Well I have been lurking here for a while so I thought it was time to say hello. I'm Ed. My system is Linn and Naim. I spend money on music rather than boxes, though I am fascinated by the technotrickery of it all. I have an open mind wrt the ways and means of enjoying music, I see no point in rigid absolutism.
So there.

I have catholic tastes. Everything fron Stockhausen to Amy Winehouse ( an immensely wasted talent if ever there was) In the background as I type is Th Monk chuntering away.

Hello Ed and Welcome!

I love the word "chuntering" - I wish I knew what it meant... I agree re: absolutism.
Best,
Barry

Well, in Scottish, it means having a wee 'five-finger shuffle'.... :eyebrows:

Also known as a 'ham shank'.

Ignore the boys at the back Ed! And welcome to AoS from me. You definitely have your priorities right, focussing on the procurement of the music rather than the gear!

And Jazzpiano... chuntering... apart from the top shelf explanations you might have read elsewhere, it's the kind of mumbling noise old guys make when they're in their element.

It's a quaint old English expression. Heaven knows what passes for mumbling in Glasgow!

Yes, i always thought it was mumbling/muttering as well :eyebrows: Looks like the dialect is getting split up from up north... Glasgow area looks particularly dodgy in this respect!

I need a cigarette, better not say fag incase America invades :eek:

Ha! What have I started! The 'chuntering' I was referring to was the mumbling that Thelonius Monk often did whilst playing. Whether he indulged in the alternative version I prefer not to think about ;)
