It’s a timeless classic of post-war crooning that arguably represents the apotheosis of Nat King Cole’s recorded output. Over half a century later, Unforgettable has more than lived up to its title. But as good as those performances were, they didn’t eclipse the album’s title track, which, over the years, has been covered by singers as varied as Peggy Lee, Aretha Franklin, Engelbert Humperdinck and Merle Haggard – but none come close to Nat King Cole’s original rendering, which was revamped (thanks to modern technology) as a hit duet with his daughter, the late Natalie Cole, in 1991. In 1954, with the 12” LP having quickly superseded the 10” version, Unforgettable was expanded to accommodate four extra tracks, including ‘Nature Boy’ (which had been Cole’s first solo hit back in 1948) and ‘Pretend’, the latter proving to be one of the singer’s biggest UK chart smashes. The song’s success cemented Cole’s transformation from a cool jazz swinger into a romantic fireside balladeer and set him on the path to becoming a mainstream entertainer. It was Cole’s second chart-topping single as a solo artist and spent eight weeks at the top of the US pop charts in 1950. Given the extraordinary quality of Cole’s vocals – which are ravishing on the mournful ‘Lost April’ and Irving Berlin’s ‘What’ll I Do’ – it’s hard to believe that he kept his singing under wraps for a long time and was better known as a pianist during his early years.Īnother iconic Cole performance can be found on his definitive version of Jay Livingston and Ray Evans’ ‘Mona Lisa’, a homage to the mysterious woman in Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting of the same name. His ultra-smooth, subtly nuanced delivery is pitch-perfect and enhanced by subtle accompaniment from an orchestra elegantly arranged by Nelson Riddle (who would famously go on to work with Frank Sinatra). ![]() Unforgettable opens with its memorable title track, penned by Irving Gordon – who wrote ‘Me, Myself And I’ for Billie Holiday – and represents one of Cole’s career-defining performances. Though not conceived as a standalone musical statement, what gave Unforgettable its sense of cohesion was Cole’s ear-caressing, velvet-textured voice, which proved a unifying factor and the sonic glue that held the LP together as a coherent work of art. ![]() ![]() Given that situation, it’s no surprise that Unforgettable, like so many albums from that timeframe, was a compilation of disparate material that scooped up sundry singles and songs from different studio sessions (in this case, music that Cole had recorded between 19). With the advent of the 50s, singles remained the dominant musical currency in the record business, and the LP (which first emerged in 1948 and was still in its infancy) hadn’t yet proved itself as a viable or popular medium for recorded music. Before that, Cole’s trio (whose piano, guitar and bass format proved influential in jazz) was primarily a singles-oriented act who had dominated the American Rhythm And Blues chart, and had racked up a plethora of hits for Capitol in the 40s, including the chart-topping ‘Straighten Up And Fly Right’. Released in 1952, initially as a 10”, eight-track album, Unforgettable wasn’t the then 35-year-old Cole’s debut long-player for Capitol (it was preceded by four other LPs, two of which were instrumental, showcasing Cole’s piano skills), but it was arguably his first significant entry into the brave new world of 33 1/3rpm-playing discs. ![]()

![]() ![]() It reduces the angular amount of sky seen by the telescope objective and can keep moisture at bay for an extended period of time.Īs an added benefit, a dew shield can increase the contrast in your images by acting as a light baffle. ![]() (As well as eyepieces, mirrors, etc.) Using a Dew ShieldĪ dew shield can effectively delay the process of dew forming on your optics, but it won’t stop it completely. This chain of events causes condensation to form on your telescope or camera lens. When the telescope radiates its heat to the sky, it quickly cools down and drops below the dew point temperature. To be a little more technical, the heat from the warmer telescope transfers to the colder outside temperature via radiation. On a night with high levels of moisture in the air, dew forms even more aggressively.Ī telescope that has been “dewed-up” no longer captures clear images of your deep-sky target, and instead captures a washed-out featureless image that resembles a flat frame.Īs the ambient temperature drops, condensation can accumulate on your telescope When the surface of your telescope objective or camera lens drops below the ambient temperature of the air outside, moisture begins to condense. Those who shoot with an SCT ( Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope) or Newtonian reflector will need to take extra precautions to keep the optics free of moisture on their larger optical surfaces. Before we look at a few solutions, let’s take a look at what causes dew to form. I shoot primarily with refractor telescopes like the Explore Scientific ED102, which are quite easy to manage due to their small size and retractable dew shields. Ultimately, the method you choose will depend heavily on the type of telescope you are trying to keep dry. ![]() These range from dedicated tools designed specifically for moisture prevention, to free methods using everyday household items. If you have ever felt the sting of an imaging or observing session spoiled by dew, the good news is that there are many effective solutions available. Understanding Dew Heaters for Astrophotography Make sure to order a dew heater band with enough length to reach the objective of your telescope from the USB port. They can easily be plugged into your power bar or portable power station with powered USB ports. I personally prefer to use USB-powered dew heater bands whenever possible. If you’re using RCA jack style dew heater bands, this is a great option to consider. The Pocket Powerbox also includes 4 x 12V ports to power other astronomy devices such as your camera, motorized focuser, or even the ZWO ASIair Plus. It is important to make sure that your dew heater band cables will not catch on anything as your telescope tracks the motion of the night sky throughout the night. The most practical aspect of this option is the fact that my cables are managed much more neatly, without fear of a cable snag. In the configuration shown below, you’ll see the dew heater band plugged into the Pegasus Astro Pocket Power Box. I have used many dew heater bands over the years, from simple USB-powered devices to the traditional “RCA-type” bands that require a controller to run. There are a number of solutions available for keeping your telescope objective moisture-free.ĭew heater straps on my main imaging telescope and guide scope Using dew heaters with your astrophotography rig can be the difference between capturing hours’ worth of exposure time on a target, and coming up empty-handed (trust me).ĭew prevention is an essential precaution needed for long exposure imaging sessions and is something you will inevitably need to address at one point or another. ![]() ![]() Each corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership name must be unique.

![]() If you do, you face the aforementioned consequences. The other notable downside to this kind of site is the fact that you are perpetually in a state of proving your worth. Oh, and every once in a great while, these private torrent sites will have a very brief open registration window. The other option, of course, is to lurk around torrent forums for hours on end, crossing your fingers that somebody will share an invite link. Which means that you will probably have to actually know somebody who is already a member in order to join. As I mentioned, a lot of these sorts of trackers are invite-only. For one thing, the insular nature of the community means that, well, it can be very difficult to gain access to the site. It’s not all good in the hood – This does, however, come with some inherent negatives, too. So, needless to say, with a solid private torrent tracker, seldom do you have to worry about not being able to execute a download nor do you have to worry about a torrent taking too long to download due to a lack of seeders. The user’s download capacity may become temporarily capped, download speeds may be throttled, or, in extreme cases, the user may end up being banned. If a member repeatedly does not meet his or her seeding and/or upload quota, then there are consequences. This is because private torrent trackers have requirements for their users, quotas if you will. Going forward with the positive aspects of private torrent trackers: you can also be guaranteed solid peer activity. As far as safety is concerned, private torrent trackers have almost no issues with malware or trojans, as they are very selective and often require an invitation in order to join. Firstly, they are excellent for what I just alluded to … for creating tightknit communities of likeminded peers that are serious about both the content they specialize in and file sharing more broadly. ![]() Let’s start with the positives of using a private torrent tracker. Even though private torrent trackers have their ups and downs, generally speaking, in my opinion. It is in our best interest not to screw each other over, right? I love the idea behind this site. Finally, a private torrenting community of likeminded indie music makers.

Far too frequently, even on the most trusted public torrent trackers, free indie music production software is embedded with tons of hidden garbage that can slow down your computer, cause it to break down altogether, or otherwise invade your privacy. Then, of course, there is always the problem of viruses, malware, trojans, and miners. Public torrent trackers are not great for open-source audio software – To be able to find a torrent tracker devoted solely to an elite userbase of fellow indie audiophiles has me extremely hopeful and excited. Pro Audio Torrents is a private torrent tracker crafted solely for those who take their music production seriously.Īs anyone who has spent hours scouring the internet for the latest in open-source audio software, loops, samples, and the perfect Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) knows all too well, finding decent music production torrents is no easy task. ![]() In other words, this is not the site for people who are looking for torrent files of their favorite free indie movies, TV shows, video games, eBooks, or anime. As the site’s title suggests, Pro Audio Torrents is dedicated to torrent files specifically for indie music producers, DJs, composers, audio engineers, and the like. Pro Audio Torrents is a private torrent tracker, but it is unlike any other that I have ever seen while exploring the constantly expanding torrenting universe. ![]() ![]() To make the fist spin, simply hold the shoot button.

In addition to this, 1Password has a good support at the operating system level, so on Linux there are many ways to get it. This may sound contradictory, but it makes 1Password a special password manager because its methodology makes the user feel secure. What makes 1Password so special?ġPassword is based on a special premise for users: “ Go ahead, forget your passwords“. While this is common, it is not recommended because it would only take one breach to compromise everything. In this sense, if you are a user who has several significant records on the internet, then remembering all the passwords may be an unnecessary risk.Īnother common mistake user make is to have one password for all their accounts. Password managers work well if the user makes it worthwhile. The reality is that it all depends on the user in question. Is it so important to have a password manager like 1Password? The truth is that many users would be satisfied with the free option, which only lacks a few features but is perfectly functional in your web browser. Thanks to 1Password you can have everything you expect from a professional password manager: Password backup, secure password generation, organization by categories, synchronization with various devices and more.Īlthough 1Password has excellent support at the system level, it is not completely free as it has plans for many users, teams, or families.

Because pop songs can be arranged, publishers decided to apply this approach to the concert works, almost always issuing less interesting music. Second, throughout Gershwin's long reception, we very seldom heard what the composer actually wrote. He performs spectacular feats of virtuosity (especially in the second chorus of "I Got Rhythm"), but it's a little like hearing the Wagnerian Helen Traubel warble "I've Got a Right to Sing the Blues." William Bolcom (Nonesuch 79151), with far less technique than Votapek, nevertheless has the idiom. He plays too stiffly, from the opening Promenade (the "Walking the Dog" sequence from the Astaire film Damsel in Distress) through most of the Songbook. He doesn't really have the rhythmic freedom of the jazz master in his fingers. But the music also possesses a strong jazz-influenced pop element that tempts some players to attempt a "swinging" interpretation. I've heard pianists give really good performances playing Gershwin as they'd play Chopin – a legitimate point of view and probably the best option for a classically-trained pianist. Gershwin himself said he couldn't notate exactly what he meant, even though his markings and directions often go on a good long time. First, Gershwin's music inhabits a fluid space between classical and pop. My discontent comes down to two points, one more serious than the other. I eagerly waited for this disc and then succumbed to general disappointment. Ralph Votapek, a student of Rosa Lhevinne among others, has long experience with Gershwin's piano works. The book, incidentally, stands among the great American publishing ventures of the Twenties in terms of conception and design. From these improvisations came George Gershwin's Songbook, 18 songs consisting of a standard piano-vocal arrangement and a virtuoso "break" composed by Gershwin himself. This probably grew out of his habit of improvising, both for composition and as a guest who entertained at swank parties. He didn't seem to have a conception of an ideal interpretation of his music but tended to play it the way he felt at the time. ![]() By most accounts, Gershwin was a master pianist, although his recordings are uneven. ![]() Several recordings have appeared, including recordings of Gershwin himself on either piano rolls or the radio. The list of complete pieces runs short, but contains music of high quality. Much of Gershwin's written solo piano music consists of sketches. During his brief life, Gershwin poured most of his creative effort into Broadway musicals and movies and became one of the great songwriters. I never thought I'd live to see several competing versions of the complete Porgy and Bess, one of them led by Harnoncourt, a near-total Eurocentrist. Gershwin wrote few concert works, and most of those have entered the repertory.
