The Beatles: Let It Be... Naked. Apple Records 07243 595714 2 3 [EU 2003]

I have a sealed copy that i wouldn't let go of for less than $300. It is my second copy. And it is certainly an important document and artifact!

This afternoon:

👍 - Saw Lester Bowie live in Göttingen with the Art Ensemble of Chicago November 11, 1997. He ironed his 'doctor's shirt' himself backstage!

I'm not doing the panda color scheme. I'm doing all walnut.

Week 14 picks https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/winnipeg-bombers-edmonton-elks-looking-for-labour-day-retribution-on-their-home-fields-1.2354601 https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/piffles-picks-week-14-2025/ https://doorfliesopen.com/2025/09/04/cfl-beat-247/ Perhaps those of you who read the Door Flies Open picks each week have noticed that I have been playing their pool. I am currently in third place out of eleven. My picks... With one exception, I am picking the road teams this week. Lions over Redblacks - The Redblacks would be iffy if everyone were healthy, but Brown is still out. Tiger-Cats over Alouettes - Austin Mack is back, but the Als are still relying on their #4 quarterback Morgan. Blue Bombers over Roughriders - The Riders have consistently been just good enough to win, while the Bombers have been hot and cold. But I don't think the Bombers will allow themselves to lose the Banjo Bowl. Just a hunch. Stampeders over Elks - I expect the Elks to play much better this week, but I still don't think they are a match for the Stamps. ***** Power Rankings https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-news-hub-power-rankings-the-aftermath-of-week-13/ ***** Game Notes https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/04/game-notes-what-you-need-to-know-ahead-of-week-14/ ***** Week 14 previews https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/04/4-storylines-to-watch-in-week-14/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/04/3-keys-to-victory-for-bc-ottawa-in-week-14/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/ottawa-redblacks-hope-to-end-two-game-mini-skid-against-bc-lions-1.2355113 https://3downnation.com/2025/09/04/official-qb-dustin-crum-to-make-second-straight-start-for-ottawa-redblacks/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/04/dalton-schoen-ruled-out-for-banjo-bowl-after-brief-return-to-winnipeg-blue-bombers-lineup/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/winnipeg-hosts-saskatchewan-in-the-banjo-bowl-labour-day-rematch/ ***** Jordan Williams has signed with the Elks. https://3downnation.com/2025/09/04/edmonton-elks-sign-former-argos-dl-jordan-williams/ ***** *****

Miles Davis “Big Fun” Sony Blu-Spec CD2, disc 1 I listened to this (the two LP set) when I was restless and frustrated in my then NE Ohio small, small town. Over and over. It really spoke to me.

👍 - LP from 1974 on my shelf - without OBI ☹️ ...

“We live in a political world.” Oh yes we do. “Everything is broken.” Seems that way. This album seems very relevant each year this century. I love Dylan as a mature singer/songwriter. And producer. (This one is produced by Lanois though). Bob Dylan “Oh Mercy” Mobile Fidelity Lab SACD

The Dameron Octet pieces.

Jaki Byard - Foolin' Myself (Soul Note, 1989)

Ahmad Jamal “Emerald City Nights: Live At The Penthouse (1966-1968)” Jazz Detective/Elemental 2 cd set, disc 2 My system is really singing due to some power treatment rearrangements and the dynamics on this set are far more audible than I had expected. Great playing too. . . Ahmad has his own world of sound.

Arthur Blythe - Blythe Spirit (Columbia, 1981)

I guess what I am really asking is if anything will be online (is it known they have a system akin to Vanderbilt's Aviary system?) Housed in a library for specific requests by patrons, with limitations on access or duplication - it's just guaranteed to make this a theoretical resource except for highly motivated researchers and crazy collectors.

The Kenny Burrell Quartet - The Tender Gender (Cadet, 1966)

I have the Town Hall Uptown on just now… And looking at the copyright date on the tray-card, I hadn’t realized it’d been nearly 20 years since it came out (Nov. 2005) — and 22+ years since this thread first began. Where does the time go??!!!

Ember box: 14 Feb 1950, Birdland: I Can't Get Started 1:07 Fremaux Vol.8: NYC mid 1950: I Can't Get Started 4:53 (Bernie Leighton p., Ray Brown b., Buddy Rich dr.) - prob. radio transcription around the With Strings session incl. thus same group (acc. the liner notes)
