Chuck Nessa

Depends on his size. Almost every broadcast station, radio and television, has a couple of meaty urologists. Never believed what they had to say.

I love it!

Saw my first cd player in 1983. My first cd was a Verve "Silver Collection" disc of Billie with Ben and Sweets. It still sounds great and is a "go to" disc.

I can make that happen.

So is fresh bread.

"No" can be a wonderful answer.

I got the $5 Amazon download earlier. Seems fine.

Oops.

All in the box.

It's not like a 'bone player died.

You might be driving me back. Think some more. OTOH, you seem to have overthought it already.

and there you go.................

My favorite Wagner recordings are by "jewish" conductors.

Good but not of the quality of the Black Lion dates and much of the SteepleChase material. The Columbia stuff traces the end.

Had personal experiences with both. At one point in my dealings with Hodes he promised a lawsuit because I billed Jabbo Smith ahead of him. My Freeman memories are warmer. I brought him back the Chicago, and the US for a festival gig. He stayed and finally died there. He was a frequent guest at our home and I accompanied him to Bears games - he loved Walter Payton. After any number of plays he'd say "The man is an artist, isn't he".

Or Byron.

I guess I will quit. I am getting old and the idea of giving money to musicians for the creation of something and then being able to attempt (successfully or not) marketing the music is old hat. All the best. I have a couple of projects to issue on cd so do not ridicule me for saying I am stopping. My upcoming issues are completely to feed my ego.

Thousands.

Please provide dates.

Wasn't this the same sentiment when the CD replaced the LP and Cassette? I won't argue that digital music can be a rather cold experience but it's what we're dealing with nowadays and as someone in the digital space, I am doing what I can to help make the experience a more welcoming one. I would like to hear you provide more detail on your "squeeze a few bucks from their holdings without regard for the composers and performers" statement. Unless you have the documentation to substantiate this, I'm not sure how you can make such a sweeping statement. I'm sorry but it just sounds like sour grapes to me. Granted, I'm not advocating for the major label system here. We all know it's fraught with issues. I can tell you as someone from the inside, there are passionate people within those walls that care about the composers and performers. In it's own little way, the BN App is a attempt to place all of that disparte content into a centralized experience with the goal of increasing the amount of streams per track / album and in turn generate more revenue for the label and the respective rights holders. Not the same at all. Please check out the licensing rates for cds, lps, downloads, and finally streaming. Dollars are reduced to fractions of pennies. I am talking about both publishing and artist royalties.

Streaming services are just another way for copyright owners to squeeze a few bucks from their holdings without regard for the composers and performers. Big guys ignoring the folks who made them possible.

It is my understanding when my friend Bob Cummins (owner of India Navigation) died he left all the masters to the artists. Much good music adrift.

Does this cry for another thread called "photos of lol coxhill in Mexico"?

Bought that one while still in school. Later got to know both gentlemen.

Thanks for the nice words about the Hal. He really wanted and audience and it is good to see one building.
