Chuck Nessa

Me, too. Sure doesn't seem like that long ago. But you made the surreal dinner and Buffalo Wild Wings. LOL

I didn't vote for Romney.

Too bad we couldn't hook up for dinner.

I posted this in the Brubeck RIP thread but thought it belonged here too. I liked the quartet before I learned it was not hip. While in high school in Iowa I drove 50 miles to hear the quartet at a concert in Des Moines. After the concert I searched out the band and had a silly high school dialogue with them. Eventually Brubeck said they had to leave for an obligatory reception and asked if I wanted to come along. The meet and greet was in the Fort Des Moines Hotel where they were staying and after a half hour or so, the band said their good byes and we left. Out in the hallway Brubeck said "I’m hungry, let’s get something to eat". Morello wasn’t feeling well and Desmond and Wright said they would take him to his room and tend to him. Brubeck looked at me and said “Let’s get some steaks!” We went to the restaurant in the hotel and had a fine meal. I have retained none of the dinner conversation and it is probably better that way. Later I learned the things to not like about the music but that never affected my feelings about the man.

Just heard it on NPR.

I would say that is up to the "presenters" in your town.

Shirley Horn "nailed" dead slow.

Just spoke with Roscoe a couple of days back. I'll check with him.

Many thanks.

I regret the positions of the white folks at that point. They had no clue. Go Cecil.

WONDERFULL!!!

Tempted to say I got $50 for Shecky Green but I won't.

I was/am confused by the 12 year/9 year deal.

Translation please.

Give Paul a chance. His first cd preceeds Muhal Richard Abrams in my collection database.

It is good to know folks like you are out there. I find your interest in old "crap" interesting. Not really in a social studies way but interesting. My thoughts about this are much more complex but dinner calls. See you later.

try the telephone.

I think they are trying to "go away" after Bob's stroke. My last cd order included a query if I would accept returns. I should clarify they were ordering from me. Much thanks to the Rusch crew.

Not the real original cover.

Include me out.

Albert Ayler's Spiritual Unity does it for me.

I believe the Jazz Mark label was recently acquired by Delmark. Maybe there is more Park in the can.
