April 12 Herbie Hancock - 1940

Thanks for sharing. I like Cole (and Pepper, of course!), but am not familiar with this album.

The remixes on disc 2.

This is the first time I have spun this since Rev. Jackson passed. Cannonball Adderley Quintet “Country Preacher” Capitol cd I forget how powerful this disc is. This Quintet had paid its dues and their funkiness here comes right from the expertise in jazz performance they amassed working together. It’s blues, jazz, all music out of one source according to Cannon here. Cannonball’s playing is so gut and flow but always, on soprano or alto, has a beauty of its own, an inevitablity from his skill, that sort of melodic beauty and inevitability of Bird, or the Rabbit on alto. . . . Great stuff. Zawinul really shines here.

This is not a mystery. The Quebecers don't watch the games the Als aren't playing in. ***** *****

Also been dealing with back problems for years. Had surgery for a herniated disk in 2000. I have things relatively under control now. Tylenol helps, and Gabapentin for some related neurological symptoms. My father always complained about having a "bad back", but I never knew exactly what he meant by that.

Thanks for the suggestion. Normally, I never shovel but because we were supposed to get 20 inches or so and I was concerned tge snow guy woukd need a backhoe, I did some shoveling while the snow was falling. Felt fine until a day later.

I used to get a back issue every time I shoveled snow. During one of my chiropractor visits to treat the problem, he recommended a back brace/belt - which he just happened to sell. I tried it and it does minimize the issue quite a bit. The other way to minimize back issues while shoveling is to avoid twisting. Pushing straight ahead is best. This is the type of back brace I've used for over a decade: https://www.coreproducts.com/products/corfit-back-support-belt Make sure to get one with the stiff support ribs in the back. BTW - regarding chiropractors - I have recommended my chiropractor to a lot of friends and coworkers. Two coworkers with serious back and hip issues were very skeptical. I told them to just try him for 3 visits. Both of them finally took my advice and gave him a try. After those 3 sessions, they were both back to normal. They thanked me over and over again for the recommendation and I'm sure they are still patients of Dr. Stephen Shields at Hampstead Chiropractic in NH. The important thing about Dr Shields is that he takes X-rays before doing anything, which is important. If your back issues are disc-related, like a herniated disc, and someone starts adjusting your spine, they could do some serious damage. I knew a guy who almost got crippled from that.
