I don’t, maybe once a week recently. Prior to that probably hadn’t smoked in a year or so. The money you lose will increase your heart rate, especially if your wife yells at you. I have never bet.

Ts-find, nice stuff !

How about the consequences of legal sports betting?

There is a relationship between heart rate and blood pressure. When cannabis lowers blood pressure - which it does - the heart speeds up. If you use it a lot the effect - lower pressure and faster pulse - diminishes.

Different church:

Cedar Walton plays on some tunes here.

Church organ and roller rink organ are two very different breeds. Church organ makes me think slow, somber held notes. Roller rink organ is not slow or somber and lightly held notes. But that's just me. Catholic churches were dark & somber in general, so it makes sense that I'd think that about the organ playing. Best church organ song ever:

Piano Trio No.3 & No.6

I love these solos ever since I heard one of them on a Folkways anthology on African & Afro-American Drums way back in 1972. I was so glad when the CD finally was issued. https://www.discogs.com/release/3091405-Baby-Dodds-The-Laneville-Union-Brass-Band-The-Lapsey-Band-Talking-And-Drum-Solos-1946-Country-Brass-

Disc 6 recently. Can’t say I was too wild about the strings with Russell Garcia. I would love to get a copy of this but I presume it’s sold out and only available to members, which would make sense if I lived in the LA area.

I have read that THC can affect the heart (makes your heart beat faster) as well as cause an increase in blood pressure. As the jury is still out whether I have high blood pressure, I’ve forsworn any smoking.

Saw them many times in the 90s/early 00s, including prior to Jeff Parker joining up, as well as more recently. While my interest in the records has ebbed, I still enjoy their live gigs. I am curious to hear the new one. Interesting that they left the Thrill Jockey home.

Maybe not church but when I busted my ass many times it was a borderline spiritual experience

I guess some people went to church at roller rinks?

I'll be on the lookout! Via Bandcamp there's options to purchase unlike Spotify.

Hopefully a Bandcamp or other downloadable option will be available.

Couple this one with the American Music CD and it's like being admitted to a secret/lost world Baby Dodds is deep. Still.

The problem is organs are capable of putting out a lot of harmonic overtone series. So it can sound busy in the way a 12 string sounds busier than a 6 string guitar - twice as many notes. Depending on the organ settings one key depressed can cause several notes to come out. For some this doesn't matter but for me it sounds terrible. Overkill, confused and busy. And of course if you ever spent any time at a roller skating rink, and I did, the associations make this sort of organ setting sound really tacky. The organ on the 45 sessions is not as bad as some from the period, IMO.
