Chuck Nessa

Wonder what they can do with

Yup. Radio legend.

OTOH, Eddie was an amazingly smart cookie and a friggin' nutball at the same time.

Always beware of good deeds.

Probably 2 problems. The knob noise can be answered by any of the radio guys on board. Used to be a spray, but not sure it hasn't been banned for atmospheric reason.

585 is the highest OBC number I know.

Not quite correct. Most of the BN covers (in this case all except the Donaldon) were printed as 2 or 3 color jobs with a film for each Pantone color to be reproduced. For example Let Freedom ring would have one negative for black ink and one for red. The surviving films for Coming Your Way would have been 3 negatives and the problem is deciding what color each neg represented since the films were not marked. Today most color printing is four color process printing and there are 4 "screened" negatives to do the same job. That is probably unclear, but the best I can do right now.

Silver label, deep groove?

FWIW, I did not like the silly video at all.

Nice do.

I only listen to jazz radio in the car. Depends on my range.

When is someone going to Reissue Sinatras Reprise catalog, there are a lot of titles now OOP and only available as imports. The above title is GREAT just for the Johnny Hodges solo on "Indian Summer" ! If you are into Sinatra on Reprise, I have a limited edition of A Man and His Music in a special box with an embossed cover and booklet. The box has an autographed card on the back and the number is 1598. Lemme know what you think it is worth.

G'bye ex pro. Sorry but my local paper is full of dead folks under 35. Many as the result of drugs and/or bad associations. This is the real america in the current century. These are the folks Wal-Mart serves.

First met him while a freshman in 1962 and he was very kind to a stoopid kid. Last spoke to him about 20 years ago, across a diner's counter. We were having breakfast. A fine gentleman and I am pleased he's still motivating. Go James.

The wrong Dick passed.

and only 3 Ornettes.

On second thought, there are many Queens.

The Queen played with everybody.

sometimes there's an explanation. sometimes not. . Sometime too.

I say, get her while she's down!

I like salt.

Bertrand am cheezeburger.

If they don't wanna come, nobody's gonna stop 'em.

Oh yes indeed. There's a whole non-mainstream Jazz world that really never gets any discussion, mostly because no one knows about it, you really have to be an insider to be hip to it... Let's find those folks.

Last week Ann had me up on a ladder trimming her wisteria. After about half an hour of limbs smacking me in the face I realized my glasses were missing. We both spent about an hour crawling around the lawn looking for my specs. Thank goodness Ann found them and we hadn't stepped on them during the search.
