Alan LewisJOHN COSTER "THE WORLD HAS CHANGED" Mastodon PostThe World Has Changed from The World Has Changed by John Coster<a href="https://johncoster.bandcamp.com/track/the-world-has-changed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://johncoster.bandcamp.com/track/the-world-has-changed</a>"The World Has Changed" by John Coster is one of the very few topical songs written in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks that have held up well in the time since. John Coster would easily make the short list of my favorite songwriters. The lines from this song, quoted in the attachment, are among my favorites from any song.

Alan LewisJACOB'S REUNION<a href="https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2052540575_16.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2052540575_16.jpg</a>This is adapted from my earlier YouTube posting.Basic information about the Jacob's Reunion albumJacob's Reunion "Jacob's Reunion" (LP, Chelsea House Records CHR-2001, 1975)Jacob's Reunion "Jacob's Reunion" (CD, CDJR-1, n.d.) <> Stereo imbalance issue on "E Minor Reel" and "If I Could See You Clearly"*Jacob's Reunion "Jacob's Reunion" (Dig, Bandcamp, n.d.) <> Stereo imbalance issue on "E Minor Reel" and "If I Could See You Clearly"*<a href="https://johncoster.bandcamp.com/album/jacobs-reunion" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://johncoster.bandcamp.com/album/jacobs-reunion</a> (The Bandcamp credit is wrong. The "Jacob's Reunion" album is by Jacob's Reunion, not by John Coster.)Richard Block, John Coster, Barbara Hyde, Yosef Oxenhandler, Sandy Sayers.Recorded in Brattleboro, Vermont, 1975, by William H. Gehman, at the Chelsea House, Carol Levin and Bill Gehman, managers.The Chelsea House concert hall and recording studio were the same room. At the time of the Jacob’s Reunion recording sessions, Bill Gehman recorded the band in concert. As I recall, the studio recordings have been located. I wonder whether the whereabouts of the concert recording are also known.“Jacob’s Reunion” is one of my favorite albums. If I should ever make a personal Top 10 Favorites list, I would give this record serious consideration.Bill Gehman used my copy of the original vinyl LP and his, selected the respective tracks with the best sound and the least surface noise, and reissued the album as a compact disc. When you hear these recordings in any digital form, if they show some surface noise, chances are strong you are hearing Bill’s reissue. He gave me what I now consider to be a pre-release copy. Later, I bought a consignment copy that looks to be the more nearly official release. The disc’s label has basic identifying information, including “CDJR-1 A Reissue” On the back of the jewel box is a sticker saying,Tru Stereo Recorded By Wm. H. Gehman Guilford, Vt. ("Tru Stereo" probably refers to the sharp distinction Bill made between stereo and binaural. People my age often refer to binaural recordings as "true stereo." They are nothing of the kind.)It has been ages since all three CD versions, that I have, of this album have been in the same place at the same time. So, I have not been in a position to make comparisons. The version marked as CDJR-1 A Reissue is the one I have filed in my CD collection and it seems to me it is the one to have. The third version I have was burned from my copy of the vinyl LP; and, as far as I am aware, it has never circulated. *The stereo balance issue noted in the album credits above is puzzling. Bill was a real stereo blend hawk.William Howard Gehman (1939-2007)Carol Margaret Levin (1941-2020)<a href="https://c.im/tags/bandcamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bandcamp</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/barbarahyde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#barbarahyde</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/billgehman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#billgehman</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/brattleborovermont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brattleborovermont</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/carollevin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carollevin</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/chelseahouserecords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chelseahouserecords</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/connecticutbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#connecticutbands</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/connecticutmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#connecticutmusic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hartfordbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hartfordbands</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hartfordmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hartfordmusic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/jacobsreunion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jacobsreunion</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/johncoster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#johncoster</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicnews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musicnews</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nemsbk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nemsbk</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newenglandbands</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newenglandmusic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/peacetrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#peacetrain</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/richardblock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#richardblock</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/sandysayers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sandysayers</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/singersongwriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#singersongwriter</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/westbrattleborovermont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#westbrattleborovermont</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/yosefoxenhandler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yosefoxenhandler</a> :::

I'd bet a lot that author Stephen King and I would be thinking of the same person.That might be about it, if not for this song's great verse about a magician. It is what drew me into this song and kept me there.John Coster is one of my all-time favorite songwriters.:<a href="https://c.im/tags/1960s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1960s</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bandcamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bandcamp</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/folkmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#folkmusic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/johncoster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#johncoster</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/magician" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#magician</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicnews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musicnews</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nemsbk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nemsbk</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newenglandmusic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/revolutionarysong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#revolutionarysong</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/singersongwriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#singersongwriter</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/stephenking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stephenking</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/theworldhaschanged" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theworldhaschanged</a> :::
