“Classic Decca Recordings of Bob Crosby And His Orchestra & The Bob Cats (1936-1942)” Mosaic Records 6 cd set, disc 2 Wow, the mastering on this set is excellent. And the music so far (which is the majority of the music I have not heard before) is a great listen.

c1928….Jack Penewell and his Stella “Twiin-Six” guitar. Jack was a multi-neck instrumentalist - he played a twin 6 string guitar and a twin 6 steel guitar. He also designed the world’s first double neck steel guitar (an acoustic model built by Gibson in 1932). Jack Penewell was one of the stars of Marsh Laboratories’ Autograph label in the mid-1920s. Playing a Stella “Twin-Six” guitar, Penewell was already a hit with Midwestern radio fans when he cut his first known sides for Orlando Marsh in late 1924 or early 1925. He later went on to record a few titles for Paramount that were issued on their low-priced Broadway label .

You mean the guitarist is GG? 🤣 I thought I heard the trademark repeated note lick. Plus the single line solos. But overall seemed to play faster and in a higher register than GG, almost like someone trying to pay homage.

Don’t Explain ❤️

I must look for this "A Prayer before Dawn".

Cold morning. Starting off with this new box set. Not my favorite period of Dylan by any means, but no denying the strength of his early work. Bob Dylan “Bootleg Series Vol. 18–Through the Open Window” Columbia 8 disc set, disc 1

I feel your pain Blue Jays.

Original.

I enjoy #6 and it's interesting because it reminds me of some people who aren't involved. Dig the saxist who goes the "Texas Tenor" route in many passages, someone I ought to be able to ID but can't right now. Piano comp is sort of in Jaki's style, not so much the solos, can't be Jaki but ditto on the ID. Guitarist does some single-line things similar to GG but it's definitely not him. I'm not that big a guitar listener so won't attempt ID, though I suspect the reveal will cause a forehead slap.

Better than 1991.

And now back to more extra inning WS action!

Played with George Russell? Not 100% sure, but I think not! I stand corrected. Yes!

Sad news. He brought such great knowledge to the board, often from an eyewitness perspecitive. RIP.
