Back around 1973 when I lived in the Boston area I saw a BMW with a plate reading PU5SY.

Format nostalgia is amazing. Excuse me while I sharpen some cactus needles.

Somehow I omitted Hawk while editing my message.

I remember a show with Ethel Waters, Roy Eldridge and Jo Jones.

Did I mention I was writing a doctoral thesis on squat? I might have a sub chapter on schmuck. Please keep me up to date on any developments.

Too much credit.

I don't think they could fill an lp I would buy.

Gizmos overtake music and music surrenders from exhaustion.

Gospel kept the company afloat.

The further he got from his Prestige days, the less I enjoyed him.

About 20 years ago I met a fellow, in the Jazz Record Mart, who said he was Booker Little's son. He was very happy to hear I knew of his father.

The solo disc.

With Sonny Grey, George Arvanitas, Jimmy Gourley, Jackie Samson and Charles Saudrais.

Coda magazine October/November 1966 contained this report from Chicago by this stringer.

The commercials get the message across.

The last time we lived in Chicago (1975-1983) I attended a number of studio recordings of this show. The studio was 2 blocks from our apartment and our mailman (who I didn't know) dropped tickets in my mailbox when he thought I might be interested. I saw a number of shows and rehearsals. Wanting to refresh my memory I googled the show and only found a few I attended. Does anyone know a way to get a complete list of the programs? If this topic continues I will dredge up memories of the shows. I do know at some point I went to the station and picked up a bunch of 2 inch video tapes to be delivered to the Don DeMichael/Jazz Institute Archive at the University of Chicago Library (or whatever it is called now).

It is included in this Prestige cd from 1994.

A wonderful day in the neighborhood - 445 Route 9W, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632.

Heard it again yesterday. Interesting.
