82, missing friends and looking forward.

Disc 2 of this. Got a "dented box" version of the 8 CD set very cheap on Ebay. Not for the casual fan, but this stuff has always been in my blood, and this is a fascinating listen if it has the same level of meaning for you.

Have a blessed birthday!

63, retired three years ago.

Good to see a post from you! Have a great birthday evening!

All the best, and enjoy the music - great way to spend a birthday.

Hello all!! I’m still around and just checking in! Hope you all are doing well and listening to a lot of Jazz. I got the new mosaic for my birthday present and will enjoy listening to it with a glass of Amarone! Cheers! Evan (Bright Moments)

I'm 63 and I don't feel old. I fact I feel younger than 5 years ago. Not the body but in spirit. My social network expanded with younger people. With whom I have innocent uncomplicated fun.

More Walter Norris:

I stopped playing volleyball about 10 years ago shortly after a surgical procedure that left about 6 stitched up holes around my lower stomach area. I tried playing and when I went up to block a spike, my stomach felt like someone punched me. I had to sit down for about 10 minutes. I tried going back in but it still hurt. I think it's been long enough by now that I could possibly try again but I bet I'd suck now. Too slow. Too old. I don't want to be that "old guy who can't play anymore". I remember not really liking playing with guys like that when I was younger.

💗 👍

Agreed.

“Blue Spirits: 85 Years of Blue Note Records Selected by Don Was” Blue Note Japan 2 UHQCD set, disc 1

Terrific music. Terrible cover.

I was playing volleyball about 10 years ago on a concrete court, fell reaching for a ball, and have a plate and 10 screws in my left wrist from the resulting fracture. That was my retirement from participatory sports.

Well apparently what he has on deck are Marion Brown and Ayler recordings he already put out on ezz-thetics just a few years ago, along with some Bix sides, and I'm sure the duplication won't stop there, so this seems like by and large another waste of time. And doubly frustrating as he consistently brings up unreleased Hat tapes as potential source material and then never uses them (the Cecil Taylor and Joe Maneri releases being a couple blessed exceptions). Hopefully someone will be able to do something meaningful with whatever 70s-90s tapes he might be sitting on one day.

I have 2 huskies so I know what you mean. Retractable leashes on them would have me in the hospital for sure.
