Week long visit from daughter Carla, son Eric, his wife Amyrae and their daughter Eloise. For some reason the pic eliminates the strong women.

Don't care. Let 'em die.

Not what you are looking for but........... From the late '50s to the end of the lp era Toscanini was a huge part of my musical life. I also remember radio and tv broadcasts from the decade before that. After selling my vinyl I only purchased about 10 Toscanini cds. I wanted some more but finances restricted me. Now with the arrival of the huge RCA box I am transfixed. I may never listen to 70% of it again but the rest is just dandy.

They were as common as robins in central Iowa when I was growing up. Never heard of one terrorizing anyone. Werf and his co-workers must be evil.

Received my $74.99 Toscanini box on Tuesday. With family here all week, I've only been able to enter it in my database and listen to Pictures At An Exhibition. Sounds great!

I have been "Bixed" - check out the Radano book about Braxton.

Sent again. Jim, let me know if this one arrives.

I was a fan from the beginning but need to put that money into my own stuff. If I didn't have my "own stuff" to consider, I would think of my family first. Hard to believe they have so many well heeled fans.

I have held a couple of grudges for a long time. They could be the reason I am still alive. The key is where you hold 'em.

Cheating a bit - listening to a cdr I made of 2 Musicraft lps by Georgie Auld. Great early bop band.

Any money not taken by state sponsored Lotteries would be sopped up by the numbers man at corner or barbershop.

How did I miss the Hammond Zone. Sorry.

This is organ stuff. Maybe one of the mods will move this to its proper place and maybe Jim will respond.

I think they reviewed all the lps. Only one snarky review, most of them 4 stars or above. I have copies of all the reviews and need to get them scanned. They also did a feature review of the Art Ensemble box in 1993 and then it stopped.

Let it go. I did not come from "outside".

Thanks. That was very nice.

Not sure what this really means beyond making me smile. That has to be good enough.

What were Lester's and Roscoe's reactions? We all looked at each other and went away. Not an unusual reaction in the '60s.

So...relax Larry.

Everyone needs to get a drink, sit down and relax.

We can supply that but it will not be inexpensive.

The Morgan/Tyner date was done to be mixed with 3 tracks from the Slice of the Top session to make BN 4241 (not issued).
