Chuck Nessa

Just to clarify, the P disappeared before the Liberty era.

OK....how do I order mine directly from you....... I'm not Chuck, but here's ordering info from post #42: Interested parties can order directly from me at Nessa Records, PO Box 394, Whitehall, MI 49461 or via PayPal to info@nessarecords.com . The price is $23 post paid in North America – folks living elsewhere should add $4 to cover the extra postage. Should you be interested in any of my other offerings, including stuff from the Okka Disk catalog, send an email and I will supply lists and prices. Thanks. CN I tried it and it didn't go through.....got a return delivery failure message. It just worked for me. Try again.

I saw you at the Rollins show Mark. We were about 8 rows behind the photographers. Bridgewater drove me nuts. Front line of the Palmieri band was Conrad Herwig, Brian Lynch and Donald Harrison. Tight. Just returned from the Velvet - Amina, Wadada, Thurman and Roscoe sat in for features. Outstanding.

Feeling age creeping up and adopting attitudes of the kids is a common reaction, thus not having to hear "get out of the way". Kinda sad and ultimately a loss of self.

It's not "my" side, Chuck, it's reality. Do you embrace every reality you encounter? Not my way.

Don't much care for "your side".

They don't make 1959 Impalas anymore either.

No, we are a work in decline.

Ann and I are driving in tomorrow night. We will be there thru Sunday. If anyone needs to contact me, my cell is 231 944-8096. Hope to see old friends and make some new ones.

I am working on new remastered individual cds of the material in the box. I box edition was "limited", not the music. Good to hear! Why would you imply the music would not be available in the future? I don't understand where your "understanding" came from.

A huge difference is "favors" in the past were one to one. Now it is hundreds at a time and the sound quality is enough to give pause to a customer with money in the pocket. Want lists get whittled down and a burn at home is a real factor when faced with choice.

I'm curious Chuck, how quickly does Rapidshare respond to claims of copyright infringement, and what do they require to "prove" that a rights holder has a legitimate complaint? If you search their site, they have a series requirements to assert your claim of ownership. I follow the rules and files are usually removed within 2 or 3 days. Trouble is, you have to find the postings and it would be a full time job to police them all and then you would still miss some.

If he downloaded it, it was probably FLAC files not MP3s. Rapidshare has ultimately deleted 2 such groups of files at my request.

Niko provided a link above. Check out the other offerings.

Sal is THE MAN! He even ordered one for a friend.

Scott's email to me spoke of my "giving some distribution to their early musical art, even if in limited edition form" ignoring 3 lps available from the '60s thru the '80s and the fact the AE box was available for over 13 years. This also ignores the many thousand dollars I spent to make that happen.

Ed Blackwell and Karl Berger behind and next to the singing Braxton. Impressions is from the Woodstock Jazz Festival - Sept 19, 1981. The whole performance (12:41) is on the second cd from the fest.

Publishing. The name has been changed to NMPA - National Music Publishers' Association.

I just told the guy to stop or I'd sue his ass.

Bernie Brightman (Stash) died awhile ago and from what I've heard the cds and lps are sitting in a barn somewhere in upstate NY. I've been checking barns as I see them and still no luck on finding the recordings Stash was shut down by the Harry Fox agency for never paying royalties. Sorry to hear Bernie died, but while a charming guy, he was a crook.

Cubs still look good.

All the best. I really hope involved parties survive with minimal damage. You need to work on that without denying yourself. Not an easy thing to do.
