Thanks for posting this - I missed this disc and went to Amazon - first notices were "not available" but around page 4 I found one available on Prime for $15.42. The lesson is keep digging.

Ira called today and we talked for about 20 minutes. He's had one side of his mouth "implanted" and will have the other side done soon. He can play saxophone and flute currently but needs the dental work to work on the trumpet (his favorite). He will be 88 soon and just keeps on truckin'.

Yet another reason to attend Big Ears. The Thing was a highlight last year.

Terrific session from the "stockpile": Now less than $8 on Amazon I see.

Someone told me if prepared carefully, they taste like squirrel.

This is an interesting resource sent by a friend: https://exhibits.stanford.edu/sftjf

Johnny E used to post here and he might be a good source. He's on FB as John Ewing.

Fred has been there for years.

In a way, that's where I live. Been doing it for a long time.

I have two and they are flat.

Ha! Red vinyl.

Wanna swap rooms? LOL.

Most are on furlough. Nothing new. Pay to play.

Go.

I should mention I got the Roland Kirk box and it was as described and packed well. Thanks.

nessa ncd-41. Fine reissue of a deserving recording.

I am still questioning why I have the Schlippenbach set when I have the originals.

Scene from our front porch in Buffalo, NY. Not much different than back in Whitehall, MI.

Should you have it, Wadada Leo Smith pays tribute on Procession of the Great Mastery with Nuru Light: The Prince of Peace.

Sounds like a good idea.
