tiger297–Admittedly lazy, but the round trip walk at a brisk pace is about 45 minutes. Not the same as a gym workout, but it cannot be dismissed. I just got the usual. My everyday, nothing is happening is Johnnie Walker Red Label. (I own shares of Diageo.) On special occasions, I begin to explore the single malts. I have before lived just around the corner from places for booze. While convenient, one never got to walk off the guilt calories.

I can’t understand why the Duane Allman Anthologis weren’t remastered long ago; they’ve always had a “muddy” sound. Tom Dowd’s remastering of “Live At The Filmore” maded all the difference. My personal favorite on DA I is “BB King Blues Medley”

I’ve just sampled a new,(for me) barbeque joint called Blind Pig not too far out of Jackson, Ga off highway 36. Conyers Ga 20 to 212 to 162 to 36–left at the four way stop will get you there, about 28 miles from I-20 ad 138..
They were featured in ‘Atlanta Magazine’s’ top 50 in the Atlanta vicinity a little over a year ago, finishing #5, with photos. Great pulled pork with extremely tasty slaw and baked beans made special by the presence of sausage in the mix. The brunswick stew has a nice bite, but not too much. The smoked turkey is moist and the ribs have a light, vinegar touch. I haven’t been as impressed with a new place since my first visit to Fox Bros. just before Christmas. Can’t beat the ride on a nice day on the bike as Blind Pig is close to Jackson Lake.
“Hurt Locker” is on pause a couple of rooms away, my first viewing.

There may be a better way, but you can download “Audacity”, play the cut, and shape it however you want. I learned about “Audacity” from Mixxo last spring.

Knowing of your love of Community Barbeque, I can say with all certainty Blind Pig would suit your palate. The funny thing was, I was traveling down to Macon to look in on Tommy Joe Tucker down at Tucker’s Barbeque when I saw Blind Pig’s sign and decided to try it on a whim, (after passing the sign for the past two years).
I tried a pulled pork sandwich with stew, continued on to Tucker’s where I had the same–plus homemade fries, then returned to Blind Pig the following day to sample the ribs with a couple of friends. “The Pig” has only been around for two years, but the following is large and loyal already.
Tucker’s was a staple when I was a student in Macon and, twenty-five years later, it’s still just as good.

haggard, after you go check out the Thai Restaurant of Norcross, go check out Sabri on Singleton, just a little east of Jimmy Carter. Their kebabs are good and the biryani is among the best in Atlanta. It does not compare to that available in Delhi or Calcutta, but then again, how many people have access to those places. It is good for the metro area.

haggard, go on my behalf. I really hope you enjoy it. I love the Thai Restaurant of Norcross. If you like Korean BBQ, there is a Korean BBQ buffet near the corner of Pleasant Hill and Satellite. You go and select the raw meat, and they cook it at the table for you. I have gone there with my Korean sister-in-law, definitely signs off on it. They also have a good bit of sushi. Add it to your list, as well.

In you new locale I would think brisket would be king. But–as you say–it’s no substitute for pulled pork.
The great thing about Tucker’s was they were open until 2AM, six days a week, and many a study session was ended–or interrupted–by a late night visit.
Trey
January 4th, 2011

Moe, I think I went to that Korean buffet. I was about to ask if it had sushi and I saw you say they did have sushi. They have a lot of desert too, don’t they? I may be thinking of a different one, but; I could have sworn that is the one.
Moe Berg

haggard, brisket is definitely king here. It is fine. There are several options run by former OU football players, including several former NFL players, including Billy Sims. I like brisket. But when I want BBQ, I want pulled pork. No matter how good the brisket is, I still crave pork.

Barbeque chicken. That’s good anytime and is the one item I’ve yet to try on the menu at Blind Pig. Evidently it’s outstanding as well because they were sold out early in the day this past Sunday.
Do you have your own sauce?

haggard, I will be okay. There is a place in town–Van’s Pig Stand–that is okay. Not quite what I can get at home, but it can head off convulsions. I am needing a fix and will be to Van’s this week to take the edge off the craving. If I need the dry ice investment, I will let you know.

When you’re using it for something like YouTube, you set up “Audacity”, hit “Record”, capture your cut real time, then got back and adjust EQ, bass boost, normalize, etc. Of course, then you hope your YouTube source is good. Then you can export form Audacitty as MP3 or wav.

An instructor in college first exposed me to her music, as well as this quote, which makes me wish I knew more about opera than I presently do:
“An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I’ve left the opera house.”
Maria Callas

tiger297–hmm. No, it’s not Van’s then. It is north of the university. South off Chatauqua. That can’t be far from me, trying to think of which place. Will go poke around town and try to figure out which one. I live just a couple of blocks west of Chatauaqua. Want to explore all of the bbq options available.

haggard, that is a beautiful quote. She has a wonderful voice. I credit my mother with my love for opera. When I was a child, she would drop me to preschool, go to the public library, check out an opera, go home to listen to it before having to come pick me up. The first opera I ever went to see was with her (Rigoletto). I don’t claim to know a huge amount about it, but really love it.

From previous conversations a few months ago, I realize Jennifer Larmore does not perform the kind of opera you most enjoy. However, I did want to mention I was fortunate enough to sit in on one of her Masters Workshops, taught before a group of students at Kennesaw State. She has a reputation as the “anti-diva” and she certainly lived up to it that afternoon as she instructed in a very down-to-earth manner and had the students “eating out of her hand”.

yes. Just tap the “Play” arrow. Up in the top right-hand corner, did you choose an input? “Stereo mix” or “line in”? “Stereo Mix” usually works.
Moe Berg
January 4th, 2011
1:39 am
nolie, I think you could like it. Does not require great sophistication. The first opera I ever owned was the multiple lp set of Don Giovanni. It is about a 17th c. philanderer and the father of a targeted woman trying to protect her. Not a huge fan of Mozart, but there are some great arias. Anyone who likes blues can like opera–the same pathos and passion.
Moe Berg
January 4th, 2011

honestly it depends on my mood. On a cold evening like tonight I like a heavy/peaty one so I picked Laphroig. But most people have to work up to that. Glenmorangie is a good solid highlands scotch that is very good introduction. If I’m drinking on a night out I’ll usually do Glenlivet or maybe Balvine.
