Juaneco Y Su Combo – El Gran Cacique Blind Connie Williams – Philadelphia Street Singer (Traditional Blues, Spirituals And Folksongs)

So far, not as much as feared, although what there has been has been mostly ice, so yuck on that. As long as the power stays on, it should be a nice hunker.

Yes, Tyler recorded for ESP, twice as a leader and twice as a sideman. He eventually settled in France, after touring Europe a bunch. Logan recorded twice as a leader for ESP as well as one sideman date (not to mention a sideman turn for Impulse) though as far as I know he did not tour Europe. A third ESP remains unissued.

So many good British reissues these days I can't keep up. Something totally random:

We are waiting for it here in the Cleveland area. Today has been calm and peaceful, though quite cold. Still going around and doing things, the last being dinner at a German restaurant.

Brad Walker, A Sliver of Catharthis

To my way of thinking you are entitled to do with these what your will and conscience allows. I like their releases--the sound quality is really really good and the music is great.

Great Music, played beautifully. This is a 5 Star album!

Op.131

Thank you!

Marc Copland - Time within Time (Hat Hut)

The Champ!

I’m curious as to whether you were charged twice. If you weren’t, I wouldn’t bother and even if you were, just sell the second copy, as has been suggested here. I’ve never purchased from them; I find them to be expensive and all you’re buying is another concert.
