I've heard Miles "fucking bananas" and it ain't pretty.

Control that in your control. Otherwise, live the life you are allowed.

Late to the party. HB. Really glad I didn't register as Charles.

Thanks.

You have way too much time.........................

Might be time to move on.

Think I have some of that material on 45s.

No need to change the packaging.

Nico boinkers abound.

Thanks.

I remember back in the '70s Cuscuna sent me a cassette of the session (I still have it) looking for personel and song titles. Some time later I bugged him about releasing it. He came back with "you and Kenny Washington". He said everyone else found the date depressing. I love it.

All the best Mark. Thanks for sharing.

Been in the studio four full days over the last couple of weeks working on the mixing, editing and transfers. I hope to finish that work on Thursday and Friday this week. Stuff is progressing.

Deft.

I like the Modern stuff a bunch and have a soft spot for the "folkie" stuff on Tradition recorded by Mack McCormick.

FWIW, in the Billboard story about Butler taking control of BN he talked about the history of the label - and he listed Bix as one of the early artists.

Here's one of Ann's shots from a while back.

I thought you were saying something completely different.

This does indicate the money/sales influence on "art". "You can do what you feel or you can do what you feel sells." I am sure Miles was jealous of 'Ball's sales and (more importantly) the attention.

Whatever. Cubs beat the hapless Pirates again today. Wonder if McLouth thinks he's in the minors. He went to high school in Whitehall.

The rope doesn't show!

I see she came with a remote. That'll come in handy.

Wanted to point out he was in the '40s Andy Kirk band along with Fats Navarro and Howard McGhee.

Very sorry to hear this. Lovely man.
