Back around 1973 when I lived in the Boston area I saw a BMW with a plate reading PU5SY.

Format nostalgia is amazing. Excuse me while I sharpen some cactus needles.

Somehow I omitted Hawk while editing my message.

I remember a show with Ethel Waters, Roy Eldridge and Jo Jones.

Did I mention I was writing a doctoral thesis on squat? I might have a sub chapter on schmuck. Please keep me up to date on any developments.

Too much credit.

I don't think they could fill an lp I would buy.

Gizmos overtake music and music surrenders from exhaustion.

Gospel kept the company afloat.

The further he got from his Prestige days, the less I enjoyed him.

About 20 years ago I met a fellow, in the Jazz Record Mart, who said he was Booker Little's son. He was very happy to hear I knew of his father.

The solo disc.

With Sonny Grey, George Arvanitas, Jimmy Gourley, Jackie Samson and Charles Saudrais.

The commercials get the message across.

It is included in this Prestige cd from 1994.

The last time we lived in Chicago (1975-1983) I attended a number of studio recordings of this show. The studio was 2 blocks from our apartment and our mailman (who I didn't know) dropped tickets in my mailbox when he thought I might be interested. I saw a number of shows and rehearsals. Wanting to refresh my memory I googled the show and only found a few I attended. Does anyone know a way to get a complete list of the programs? If this topic continues I will dredge up memories of the shows. I do know at some point I went to the station and picked up a bunch of 2 inch video tapes to be delivered to the Don DeMichael/Jazz Institute Archive at the University of Chicago Library (or whatever it is called now).

A wonderful day in the neighborhood - 445 Route 9W, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632.
