Didn't know this was preserved. Thanks for posting.

Still one of the damnedest things I've ever heard.

Graettinger's "Thermopylae" makes me think of Sun Ra.

D'oh! Yes, I wasn't Remembering.

The original cover! This was my first Lock purchase. I need to spin more Lock...soon.

I listened to this album today, and it was like I was hearing it anew. Did Green make any other recordings without a keyboard or other chordal instrument? For contrast, I like playing this one back-to-back with Grant's First Stand. The old TOCJ's sound soooo good.

Me three. I believe in Michigan (and perhaps other states) you could vote in the primary (at 17) if you would be 18 by the time of the general election. I may be misremembering of course, but I do remember that Jesse did particularly well in Michigan, winning the caucus! Now what I am having trouble tracking down is whether Michigan had a primary and a caucus even back in 1988, but I think it must have, as I voted for Jackson at a poll location and it wasn't anything like the crowded rooms of a caucus. I wouldn't have any idea how to participate in a caucus back then and certainly wouldn't have had the time. (Or maybe it was enacted just like a standard primary but they called it a caucus? That might be the most likely...) Years later, I actually saw him and David Dinkins and Mario Cuomo at a big march on Washington (Save Our Cities march, probably in 1993). RIP.

That was one of the very first books that I read about the Blues, and I still consider it to be one of the best. I PMed you.

There is going to be a documentary airing on PBS this Friday at 9pm titled Sun Ra: Do the Impossible, which is part of the American Music Masters series, which is the same series that aired the Max Roach documentary.

Used to play this on Athens, GA's black-owned AM station:

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.
