Hear a tune played twice on Sirius radio this week...very cool!!!

...that's how I felt about Sue Mingus...!

Gene Shaw also worked a while for Jim Neumann (Beehive Records) in a non-music related field. m~

...listened to it this afternoon...very nice stuff. m~

I think the colts will win and I predict my vote will in no way influence the outcome of the game! m

...getting a bit in Indy as well.....several inches on the ground and more overnight. Not a lot for some parts of the US but enough to create havoc here. m

...have loved the show from episode 1~ m

...thanks for the nice words! m~

...spoke to her once; hope to never again!

Prints are in the mail....hope you enjoy them. I have a couple left if any more interest. Thanks to those of your that helped out. m~

Thanks guys; all pms returned. Still have a few prints left...prints will go out no later than Wednesday of this week. m~

I thought I would offer up a few photographs I made recently and pass along 100% of it to a Haiti relief efforts...more than likely the Red Cross. *I have two images of the great Von Freeman taken about 2:30 in the morning during one of his famous after hour jam sessions at the New Apartment Lounge on the South side of Chicago. The crazy green light on the color image is from the "apartment lounge" neon light shining through the window. *The other two images, one color and one black&white are of the equally great Fred Anderson from a recent cd release party at his near Southside club.... the Velvet Lounge in Chicago. Photo are $40.00 shipping including to anywhere in the US....actual shipping added to anywhere outside of the US. Print size is 8x10 (border/watermark not on photo). I have about 6 prints of each available; a few of them are spoken for at this time. Send me a PM if interested. Thanks, m~

...hope you had a great day!!!

Bob Willoughby died last Friday at his home in Vence, French Riviera. Obit in the Los Angeles Times today. Brownie; thanks for posting. Sad to hear of Bob's passing. I always enjoyed his work. m~

Hi David; yes, I've had it for some time...very cool. I've been a fan of Smiths almost since I've owned a camera. m

....what is the approx shipping costs in the US?

...agreed.

..got the book a couple weeks ago..wish it had 100's more photos but I'll take what I can get. m

"The Sound I Saw" can be picked up very reasonably and should be on everyone's shelf if you love jazz or just great photography. I bought several copies a few years ago and gave them to a few friends. I picked up "The Sweet Flypaper of Life" from a rare book dealer about 5 years ago. A very short ready but nice. Very sad to hear of Roy's passing...very sad! Mark~

...don't care that he had sex and don't care for letterman either. feel some sadness for hiw wife and kid. m

...I prefer to watch neither....ever!

Oh fer crissakes...is everything a competition with you, Dan? So, the only way to "control your fate" is when you are in the lead. Nice. Tell that to the 1964 Phillies or the 1969 Cubs or the 1978 Red Sox or the 1995 Angels or my personal favorite: The 1951 Dodgers. And I quote: The Dodgers rank No. 1 on this list [of MLB collapses] because no other team can combine such a profound collapse in a pennant race with a profound collapse in a deciding game. That game, of course, was made famous by Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard Round the World", which was preceded by the Dodgers holding a 4-1 lead to start the bottom of the ninth inning. Under those circumstances the Giants could only be expected to win 1.8 percent of the time. To have come back from a 50-to-1 shot after coming back from a 400-1 shot -- and the Giants had to put the pedal to the floor to do it, going 37-7 to close out the regular season and force the playoff -- was very special. source: Dan, you're wrong. THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!!! And they're going CRAZY!!!!! Yeah...that stuff never happens huh, Dan. ....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
