That Gerald Wilson is one my most played, from about 40 Mosaic sets I own. I should be selling some of these myself.

Happy birthday, 61?

Most of my magazines have survived the last two moves, much to the chagrin of my wife. Really though, I’ll grab a random Cadence for a diversion but I almost never reach for the others. If I do get rid of my magazines I’ll still keep the Cadence issues. Prior to a move in 2017 I managed to sell a few magazines, mostly issues of Musician from the 1980’s, based on who was on the cover over at Audiokarma.

Concerning new vinyl releases, I can’t bring myself to spend $18-$40 or more on a new release when it is likely to also be available used as a cd soon enough. If someone is releasing something as vinyl only, for that kind of scratch, I can do without it. Particularly when I can pick up used records in great shape most often for $4-$12 or so at my preferred shop in Providence. Fact is I’ve got more records and cds than I can get to anyway and my collection is not exceptional, around here I am just another guy. I started buying records in the ‘70’s and I’ll still grab one here and there if I see something that strikes my fancy but nowadays I am buying ridiculously devalued cd’s when I see something of interest (the latest cd I bought was $.50 at a library earlier this week). I still play records but play cd’s a lot more. I’m lucky to have fallen in with a group of people who share the music and gear fascination and we get together periodically, share a libation, and let the world slow down enough to enjoy some tunes. I don’t begrudge buyers or sellers of new vinyl issues, it’s just not for me. As far as playback, Porcy’s comment hits home with me the most, I want non-fatiguing as the most important virtue in my system.

Yes it was, thanks Dan.

I know this is somewhat pathetic to revive my own Happy Birthday thread, but, I’m shameless. Sixty three today.

Heady Topper, its still a winner.

Enjoyed that, seems the camera man decided to play air trombone at the end.

Response sent, thanks.

Haven’t heard the cd release but I’ve had this material as a dl’ed ROIO, have enjoyed it quite a bit. As a young fan in the ‘70’s I got used to Bird airshots so listening to these recordings has been no problem at all for me.

PM sent.

Some years ago there was a Van trading group on Yahoo, I am amazed at just how many of his shows are around. He came off of the restricted list at a popular torrent site last year.

Thanks for posting. I really like all the XRCD’s I’ve managed to snag, both sound and packaging production.

Interested in the Arthur Blythe.
