Chuck Nessa

We had both over for tacos today. Abe wanted the hot sauce and Chuck chose the medium. Now I move to the dinner table for a baked shrimp dish.

Once you get it out, what do you do with it? I hope you don't drink it! If you do and come near me, please communicate via magic slate.

Burned many hundred cdrs over the last 10+ years and AFAIK everything is dandy. I did have one player that had random problems but I decided it was a hardware problem and replaced it.

Thanks. After I find my glasses and shave my palms I'll check my nuts.

all the best.

Thinking about bagging all my vinyl box sets too. What a coincidence!

Time to eat a fresh grapefruit.

If you don't enjoy listening, eat the succa'!

Tonight it is whatever Ann brings back after her day at the pottery studio.

Not legal for sale in the US if that's what you mean.

It is a coupling of the 2 Bethlehem cds with the two Mingus titles from a Langston Hughes project issue on MGM, later reissued on VSP.

Lou is a sweetheart. I hope you get to meet him.

Don't know if I ever knew who the organist was. I never got to hear the band. Yeah, Leo's step-dad was Alex "Little Bill" Wallace. When we were planning the date Leo called me and asked me to find "a young blues guitarist with ears enough to adapt". Bruce Iglauer at Alligator said all the young guys able to fit the bill would be a pain in the ass to work with and suggested Louis. I called Louis and he was cool to make a couple of rehearsals and see if it worked. When it was all done Leo said his step-dad couldn't believe he's played with the great Louis Myers. Quoting from the liner notes for Spirit Catcher - "I used to play for hours and hours, just blues, with guitar and bass and drums and a singer, and during those times I realized some of the happiest musical moments of my life".

THE ACES

Just because something exists on tape does not mean you "deserve" to listen.

Same fellow. Louis, his brother Dave and the great Freddy Below were the Aces. They were the backbone of a ton of Chicago blues sessions. Little Walter is the tip of the iceberg. In the late '60s Freddie was always after me to record his "jazz band", an organ trio. No money was the story then, regret now. Getting Louis on this date was interesting. Maybe someday when I have the time I'll tell it. From my point of view, he was a sweet guy.

Sorry I wasn't here earlier. All the best in your new year.

Thanks. Now if Rod finally receives his copy of Saga I'll be a happy camper.

Over the Rainbow was a special song for Art. One morning at about 3 am I asked Art and Laurie about this and Laurie jumped in to say "Of course, Judy Garland and all that stuff". Art looked up from his plate of eggs and smiled.

I question that.

Vary sorry to hear this.

I think this post says everything.

My wife is delighted to be done with cramps.
