Chuck Nessa

Very nice reissue in good sound. Alternatively I suggest finding the 4 Dodds issues on Classics and the Neatwork with the alts. Dodds is one of my favorite artists.

Unless Wood blows the save, the Cubs beat the Cards again.

Alex Hill "Ain't It Nice?" "New Orleans In the '20s" "Jazz In Texas 1924-1930" "Brunswick & Vocalion Odds & Bits 1926-1930" all on Timeless Historical and Johnny Dunn "Cornet Blues" on Frog.

Great stuff. Some of my favorite records.

Chauncey, can you regale us with a report on the Ellington Jazz Party session? I know you played on some tunes.

If the US didn't exist, Thormod Anton Nessa (parents from Norway) would not have met Nina Tanahill (parents from Ireland) and "Indian Charlie" Tandy (English/Cherokee combo) would not have met Isabel Manion (English, I think) and my parents would not have been born. For that alone, I am grateful. YMMV.

In about an hour Ann and I will make our way to the Whitehall waterfront to watch the fireworks, eat some elephant ears and go "ooooooooooo" with the crowd. Not a bad way to spend an evening in July.

While we're on the subject of grammar, it's actually Wal Mart with one L. On a serious note of course. Yesterday I heard they are changing the corporate image by changing the name/signage/etc to Walmart - one word.

Take another toke.

So, an evening of "hope I get lucky" music.

Uh. Been to a Wall-Mart....and that surprises you? Just didn't know you were involved enough to pick up the lingo.

So you are familiar with Walmart greeter lingo? How did that happen?

This sounds like an "I'm smarter than most folks" cop-out.

You can get help.

Thought that was the frogs. (Apologies to all our Francophone friends ) MG I thought Frogs were English cds.

I got 'em and you don't.

Thought I'd give you a butt shot for the birthday.

I never thought Sahl was funny - an interesting case, but not funny.

There are/were lots of Bozos. Some of us live here.

Yet another reasoned thought posted (and edited).

Seems you are on your own again.

Nah. I was a bit late.

Way past time for Goodie to take a bunch of meds.

Just remember he's locked in the '70s.
