The funny thing about this thread is that almost all of the people who posted on it no longer are active or don’t post here anymore.

Amazing book. This is a reimagining of the Huckleberry Finn story as told by Jim the slave, but with significant differences. It’s a terrifically good book. To those who are not all that familiar with how enslaved people were treated this will be an eye opener.

We Were the Lucky Ones, based on a novel about a Jewish Polish family during the Holocaust. It’s ok, not great; a little too clean and some things aren’t credible but, hey, it’s tv.

By coincidence I listened to him yesterday on the J.J. Johnson Mosaic. RIP.

Beautiful music. Thanks for doing it. I’m sure you saw that Acoustic Sounds is reissuing several Pablo records (at $40 per) and this is the first one.

FB. He’s pretty active there.

From Nessa Records.

The question I have is how the translator got access to the bank account(s).

This probably counts as prying and my apologies in advance but are you and your wife still together.

Finishing this up, With this next,

I am very, very sorry to hear this and quite sad. He will be missed. I’m glad David posted a photo. A sad day for me. RIP Bill.

As mjzee mentioned you should have two emails. With many sites, your alternative one acts as your recovery email.

Garbage.

Ted Gioia has a small excerpt in his Substack page. He calls the book “the most readable narrative account to date of a milestone moment in American music.” Three Shades of Blue

He’s a conspiracy theorist and he’s not a credible source. Nothing more need be said.

My son started collecting graded Pokémon cards during the pandemic but lost interest and now he’s selling them, mostly at a loss.

Is this your first time reading this? Catcher in the Rye, even today, is a book people like to ban. According to one site I saw, “The American Library Association states that The Catcher in the Rye has been banned by schools and public libraries for having ‘excess vulgar language, sexual scenes, things concerning moral issues, excessive violence and anything dealing with the occult’ and ‘communism,’ among other things.” Yeah, that’s the whole point of reading it! I still have my original copy that I read back in 9th or 10th grade in 1965 or 1966.

For those who are interested there’s at least one FB discussion about this. https://www.facebook.com/groups/JazzVinylLovers/permalink/24996359180009874/
