  1. Still "temporarily backordered"! Order date was April 13! maybe the white rabbit hopped off.
  2. If you want the music, I suggest the Reiner, coupled with a wonderful version of the Concerto for Orchestra: Other covers available.
  3. Concerning the journey for the lps; it will be really stressful for the vinyl so I suggest sending them part way, to Whitehall Michigan. I can give them a rest and eventually send them on their way.
  4. Kocsis. I purchased the discs individually as they were released and like then a bunch.
  5. Let us give everyone a hand.
  6. I will report what she says. I was wrong, my appointment is next Tuesday.
  7. Not sure about that. It just replaces the lens with a prosthetic. Just went through that for both eyes. I have my final post op exam on Tuesday. I will ask my doctor about it.
  8. My iPad has a Kindle app. Never used it. Anyone with experience?
  9. The one pictured is a Columbia Special Products edition manufactured in the mid '80s. I used to sell 'em. Note the altered catalog number and the CSP logo at the bottom.
  10. I still have a real one - CL 951 and remember watching the original broadcast at my grandparents house.
  11. I'd forgotten Sandusky had been retired by the time of McQueary's witnessing of the shower rape. It doesn't change the fact that it occurred in the athletic facilities that Paterno was ultimately head of, though. And Paterno had a responsibility to do more than just mention it to his boss, especially knowing that Sandusky essentially had free reign of those facilities. The reason for Sandusky's retirement must have been a topic of discussion at the university.
  12. Bartok wrote the third concerto for his wife to play (and earn some income) after he was gone. My favorite versions of the set are in the following order: 1st - Zoltan Kocsis / Ivan Fischer on Philips 2nd - three way tie; Anda / Fricsay on DGG, Jando / Ligeti on Naxos, Sandor / Gielen & Reinhardt on Vox. I like these pieces a lot and enjoy comparing versions. As you can tell from my choices, I prefer performances by Hungarians.
  13. Vinyl Solution was the name of a wonderful store in Grand Rapids, MI a few years ago. The remnants of that experience live on at Vertigo.
  14. Bill Dixon "Considerations 1972-1976, volume 2.
  15. Cliff is nuts.
  16. Don DeMicheal was one of my best friends. I met him in 1964/5 - not sure. We became fast friends over the years and I miss him every day of my life. I think he was the best editor Down Beat ever had.
  17. I think you are overthinking this big time.
  18. The internet is their friend. Needle drop no doubt.
  19. I thought it had been determined the box transfer was mp3.
  20. I have never heard of Universal using mp3s. Why would they do that?
  21. They probably didn't have the tapes. I've had a single cdr of the material for years. The material has circulated as "Personal Mel Lewis Reel to Reel Tapes."
