More Lucky Thompson:

RIP. I particularly like a few of the Fish discs, though I haven’t delved into his solo recordings. First time I heard of / listened to Country Joe was in a 2-disc compilation of Woodstock material, some 40 years ago:

👍

They're from Portland, Oregon -- which explains the name of the group. Per Discogs, the trio only made a four records for Origin between 2003 and 2012. No idea whether they're still performing as a unit.

There's always something "new". I've never heard of any of these musicians.

Now: 2-LP set originally released as Goodbye Yesterday (1973) and I Offer You (1973). Gorgeous music. So soulful.

Not least of all because you did a very good job at documenting his doings.

Please see www.percyfrance.info (a hundred green smilies). but seriously its funny to go back to this post, 21 years later, when I needed a handy image of I Should Care and google brought me to it. A long strange trip it's been. PERCY FRANCE LIVES!

Okay, this is a little weird, in a dream last night I remember cellos, and my Dad. The cello was one of his favorite instruments, and so I plucked this from the shelf to listen to, Weilen Kuijken and Jordi Savall performing Sieur de Sainte-Colombe. These SACDs sound wonderful. (And yes, they are not cellos!)

Dusty and cdjapan both indicate the preorderable discs are SACD, which explains the high price. My bad.

Zoot Sims & Bucky Pizzarelli - Elegiac (Storyville)

Not counting any of the 26(?) boxes of CD’s and books (prob gonna wait until April to dig into any of that)… …we’re about 60% unpacked now. All the kitchen and bathroom stuff, and 2/3rds of the clothes — but none of the office stuff and other whatnot. There’s SO much more room in the combined LR/DR/K space than we had in DC — it almost feels more like a loft. The top 18” of the walls of the BR are totally open to the LR too, and music and TV sound carry into the BR — even the BR clock radios carry all the way into the kitchen when I’m cooking breakfast. Everything just feels more open. Windows sorta face east too, so we get great morning sunlight — but NONE of the blinding afternoon sun. (Apt in DC faced north, so we never got any direct sun.)

Prompted by @jazzbo's Gonzalez post above:

Next up:

I enjoyed this so much yesterday that I'm spinning it again today:

The Philips LPs are great and most have been reissued on CD. Possibly a better use of one's funds.

I have to wait til next month for my copy, but I'm looking forward to it.

Maybe. I like a lot of them. . . all are pretty much top notch.
