Erin Bliss Posted April 6, 2021 Report Posted April 6, 2021 I've heard the distinctive sound of the sharpening of tumbleweed harvesting knives. Looking forward to the harvest! Quote

drpro Posted April 7, 2021 Report Posted April 7, 2021 Makes me think of Lee Marvin singing They call the wind Maria. Bless his heart, he just couldn't sing. Quote
Paul F Posted April 7, 2021 Report Posted April 7, 2021 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
drpro Posted April 7, 2021 Report Posted April 7, 2021 You are so right Paul. Lee was singing, "born under a wandering star" Quote
karlw Posted April 7, 2021 Report Posted April 7, 2021 Reminds me of Clint Eastwood singing "I talk to the Trees" from Paint Your Wagon... Quote

Erob Posted April 7, 2021 Report Posted April 7, 2021 In the market for some new transmitters, so this couldn't come at a better time! That is if they are transmitters...... Quote
BAB414 Posted April 8, 2021 Report Posted April 8, 2021 What if it's an antenna that transmits and records? Quote
petersont Posted April 8, 2021 Report Posted April 8, 2021 then that would be patently perfect... Quote

tourtelot Posted April 8, 2021 Report Posted April 8, 2021 Zero and one aren't even the first two tracks on a Studer A800. What are you guys talking about? D. Quote
Paul F Posted April 8, 2021 Report Posted April 8, 2021 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 April 8, 2021 Report Posted April 8, 2021 Make a microphone boom into a coax connection, so one of our antenae could be high in the air. My idea, your patent. Quote

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 April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 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
John Blankenship Posted April 10, 2021 Report Posted April 10, 2021 The film was adapted by Paddy Chayefsky from the musical "Paint Your Wagon" by Lerner and Loewe. Quote

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
drpro Posted April 10, 2021 Report Posted April 10, 2021 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
