The other Organissimo Guy. I missed this thread in real time but have to say - he was one of the best posters on here. I miss his contributions.

I was on the BNBB near the end of its life, and then migrated over here. I've been here since June 2003. That's an incredibly long time.

Happy Mardi Gras!

Kenny Barron for me too:

Schubert - String Quartet D.804 - Guarneri Quintet

Thank you, sir!

I voted for him in that year's primary as well!

Now spinning: LP 1: - La Mer - Prélude À L'Après-Midi D'un Faune - Premiere Rapsodie - Marche Écossaise

Hi Steve, yes, pretty sure it's the same recording that's on the Hep CD March of the Boyds 1945-48 that I have at home. I'll check when I'm back from work this evening.

Original LP

Tenor Saxophone – Dexter Gordon Piano – Kenny Drew Bass – Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen Drums – Albert "Tootie" Heath

yeah, a family friend died from this a few years ago. It was pretty bad.

Could be overstocks dumped for pennies by the distributor.

My first primary vote ever, in 1988. Still have the button I picked up from his campaign.

Duvall's character in the first Reacher movie was probably the only saving grace in that movie.

Those are great albums!

I have sections for sorted regular CD's (by artist within genre, with separate shelving for Blue Note, Strata-East, and a few other labels), for box sets (unsorted), for oversized digipaks which are not compatible with my main shelving (by artist within genre), but also some stacks of not-yet-shelved CD's, and many stacks of secondary/discard CD's in the basement. So I sometimes need to look a lot of places to see if I have a title. I always meant to make an excel list of everything I have, location, etc. during my retirement years, but life ended up throwing some curves, and I have a lot of (good) post-retirement responsibilities for family members that I had not anticipated.

Truly a flawed hero, but embracing one does not deny the other. Indeed, he was somebody. We all are, none more or less than anybody else.

Very sad end, and feels like the closing of an era. RIP.
