drpro Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Makes me think of Lee Marvin singing They call the wind Maria. Bless his heart, he just couldn't sing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul F Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 That was Harve Presnell that sang Maria. Wonderful. Lee sang Wandering Star. When I heard him sing that in Paint Your Wagon I almost fell off my seat. I play it quite often through the years. He really didn't want to do it, but it's a classic. I like how they picked a key that made his vocal chords rattle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drpro Posted Wednesday at 03:07 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 03:07 PM You are so right Paul. Lee was singing, "born under a wandering star" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Erob Posted Wednesday at 10:04 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 10:04 PM In the market for some new transmitters, so this couldn't come at a better time! That is if they are transmitters...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tourtelot Posted Thursday at 03:03 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:03 PM Zero and one aren't even the first two tracks on a Studer A800. What are you guys talking about? D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul F Posted Thursday at 03:10 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:10 PM Ahh, you RF guys. I always admired you. In my first job working on microwave radar jammers for aircraft that fly above 80,000' (there's only one), I'd see these guys come up with the oddest widgets. It was always J space to me. I stuck with the ones and zeros. I always felt it if you can't do RF, you do analog and if you can't do analog you do digital and if you can't do digital you sell real estate.

alexbooy Posted Thursday at 03:26 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:26 PM Make a microphone boom into a coax connection, so one of our antenae could be high in the air. My idea, your patent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My idea, your patent. Maybe this won't make any sense, but someone invent "coily cable coax" so it can all be contained in the antenna mast, like in a boom pole. ...and I LOVED Paint Your Wagon, not sure how many times I stayed up to watch it on late night TV as a kid.

chrismedr Posted Friday at 09:53 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:53 PM came here for the tech news, but getting reminded of Paint Your Wagon beats that hand down. absolutely strange and beautiful film, whoever gave this script the green light is a hero! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Blankenship Posted Saturday at 11:37 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:37 AM The film was adapted by Paddy Chayefsky from the musical "Paint Your Wagon" by Lerner and Loewe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree on all points. I don't like musicals. There I was, watching this movie and never realized I was watching a musical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drpro Posted Saturday at 03:39 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 03:39 PM My apologies for bringing "Paint your Wagon" into the discussion. Larry's postings bring out the musicals that I have enjoyed over the years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
