We are pleased to say that audio reviewer and photographer Howard Kneller has launched a YouTube channel called “The Listening Chair.” Howard is a regular contributor to Copper and his work has appeared in publications including The SoundStage! Network and Sound & Vision. He’s traveled the world and you can enjoy his audio adventures by clicking on this link.
In this issue: Roy Hall is back, and he has memoirs. Anne E. Johnson finds much to admire in the music of blues giant Paul Butterfield and the decades-long career of jazz pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi.

Tom Gibbs has an in-depth look at the new Saturday Night in San Francisco album, featuring guitarists John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola and Paco de Lucia. B. Jan Montana encounters an extraordinary woman. Tim Riley reviews the new Elvis movie featuring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks. I interview Copper contributor Larry Jaffee of the industry trade organization Making Vinyl. Ken Kessler keeps on plugging when it comes to reel-to-reel decks.
Harris Fogel visits the Los Angeles and Orange County Audio Society. John Seetoo covers the Audio Engineering Society’s Europe Spring 2022 convention. Jay Jay French tells us when domestic bliss is an audio miss. Audio meets fine art when Tom Methans attends Devon Turnbull's listening exhibition. Steve Kindig visits the music of Madagascar. Ray Chelstowski talks with Buffalo Springfield and Poco founding member Richie Furay about his new album. Rudy Radelic isn’t buying new vinyl.
