  1. Nice!
  2. Wasn't thinking fast enough.
  3. I saw a a few weeks ago at a Charles LLoyd concert. Even talked to him: asked him if they'd recorded the concert. His answer was that they record all of Charles's concerts.
  4. Yes, I always thought it was ironic he outlived his brothers.

  6. Thanks. I was just going to ask you if that was Bill Smith. And I didn't recognize John Norris until you pointed him out.
  7. I was barely aware of the Beach Boys in their first incarnation. My friend Zal Yanofsky got fired from his job as a rock station DJ for playing the Beach Boys and Buck Owens. By the time I saw them live at Massey Hall there were about 20 Beach Boys but Brian wasn't one of them. (The Captain was, as was Blondie Chapman.) But I did get to see Brian when he toured with his own group and then when he was promoting Smile. My wife got to spend a day with him and his family while doing an interview for a magazine about "lake life". Also saw the regrouped Beach Boys before Mike Love ended that. IIRC every time was an exciting experience.
  8. Ahh.. what's the tool bar in the posting window and where is it?
  9. The Black Bottom! I remember it being a really small place. (I could be wrong-- it was 60 years ago.)
  10. In the early '80s a music publisher I knew went to see the Byrds at one of their reunion concerts and offered to help them buy back their publishing contracts on the songs they'd written if they put up half the money. He said they explained that they were all broke from their freewheeling earlier days and couldn't come up with the cash. He bought the rights himself and a few years later, with the coming of cds and reissues he made a a huge profit. I would hope that they got something for the reissues but as we old know most of the the money from catalogue sales and broadcasts goes to the publishers.
  11. Wasn't Bitch's Brew his highest selling record ever? (Though I think, over time, KOB surpassed it again.)
  12. That's great! (But are you sure it's the last?)
  13. Thanks . I should have checked first: I do have that session on a a cd called "Ellington: the British Connection". (Those Chrongogical Classics are getting rarer and more expensive ever day.)
  14. IS that available anywhere?
