I will live with what I have experienced and will make do with that.

Sticky Keys was the dude on State Street in the '50s. He gave his spot to Blind Arvella Graves. Still seemed to be the same aluminum cup.

Ran is an old friend. I emailed him too. Maybe.....

I hope to get absolute control of this recording so I can reissue it with a GREAT extra tune. Ira has been bugging me about this.

I haven't seen Ran in years. Might go if things work out.

Hmmm.

Roscoe, Fred, Malachi and Alvin received the nomination, not me.

It's not about notes, it's about feelings.

U so kind.

I am sorry to say you might have found the wrong place to spend time. Best luck to you in your career.

Old folks die. Some do much more than others, some do great stuff and never get recognized, some do lesser stuff and get recognized. We are all in a queue somewhere. Be appreciative of what you received and be ready to take your turn. Mr. Charles was in the middle of the pack, which means he's a hero to me.

Jesus! I can't afford NOT to get it. Interesting they omitted this current disc: The Czech Suite is a long time favorite.

Same here.

Fine musician gone. Thanks for what we received and best wishes to your family.

So, you are an artist. Hadn't picked that up before. All computations change.

It would be nice if folks like me could issue music by big names without paying them - or not. This is our competition. I hope a few think of the consequences.

I think all post war Lester is personal and I think he'd like it that way. Same with Lady Day.

I agree with most of the above and it is still my favorite.

I urge (once again) whatever cycle you have, search out #4 on Naxos conducted by Slovak.

Spend extra money for SACDs and transfer them to mp3?!!

The Earl Hines, Dexter Gordon, Don Byas, Johnny Griffin, Ben Webster and many others are terrific. The Bill Coleman with Guy Lafitte is wonderful. Big fan of the label. Bates no longer owns it - Euro pressings were fine; mostly pressed by Polydor. The US licensee (Audio Fidelity) made crappy pressings.

True. Probably thank Alfred.

I'd moved on to something else by 1966.
