Hi everyone,
My name is Jennifer Martin. I recently saw Myles' Facebook about the group and joined up.
I'm a conductor/guitarist/trombonist by trade. I chair the Performing Arts Division at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo, CA. I conduct the Cuesta Wind Ensemble and the San Luis Obispo Wind Orchestra, and guest conduct here and there. As an orchestral trombonist, I freelance whenever I have time, and as a solo fingerstyle guitarist, I play concerts, weddings, etc. My guitar stuff is not classical, but rather originals, covers of Beatles tunes, folk music, blues, etc. It's a niche thing. Think Leo Kottke, Laurence Juber (my friend and teacher), John Renbourn, Ed Gerhardt, et al, if you know who they are. As I said, it's a small niche!
I've been around high-end audio for many years, having stumbled across a copy of The Absolute Sound in 1980. I was in the LA/Orange County, CA area when there was a thriving high-end scene, every good stereo store employed knowledgable people who loved music, and most sold some records. Happily the scene seems to be coming back a bit, but I'm sure that it will never be as it was back then.
My listening is mostly classical and acoustic folk. I collect a lot of LPs and CDs; mostly LPs these days. I have a particular interest in the old Mercury records, as my conducting mentor was Frederick Fennell, who made all of those great Eastman Wind Ensemble recordings.
My equipment choices tend to be really simple. All I want is the most direct route to the music that I can afford. Simple works for me. Moderately priced also works for me! ;-) So presently, it's Rega RP6, Shelter 501 III cartridge, Foasgate Signature phono pre, PrimaLuna Prologue 2 amp, Rotel CD, KEF LS50, mostly; sometimes Maggie 1.7.
Too much about me! Thanks for having me here and I look forward to reading and contributing. Jenn
