Chuck Nessa

and which way she's facing.

Makes sense to me.

Could be, but it sounded like he was making everything he tried for, with no particular strain. BTW, I'm sure this has come up before, but in page 99 of Ira Gitler's "Swing to Bop," Bailey says of fellow Clevelander Freddie Webster: "I happen to know ... that on the [Charlie Parker] recording of 'Billie's Bounce' that [Miles Davis'] solo was exactly the one that Freddie played for that particular blues. Evidently Miles said he was nervous and couldn't think of anything to play, so he did Freddie's solo note for note." It's a lovely chorus and certainly sounds Webster-like. I have met dozens of musicians I felt deserved more recognition, but a few conversational exchanges revealed the problem. Personalities and "demons" have a bunch to do with public promotion and recognition.

As my wife backs out of the driveway I usually hear CCR blasting from her speakers.

REPLACE YOUR DRIVE!!!

Sorry I missed it. You bring one form of life to this board. Thanks.

Pretty fine "cycle" listed. One "fine tune", if you can take the sound and playing, I prefer the Vox Horenstein of 1 to the later version with the LSO (in great sound). If you venture that far, check out his Vox take on 3 and then move on to the Unicorn 2nd (he takes the repeat and the band seems exhausted at the end). This is really music making for me.

Yep.

I go on listening "jags". Recent fears of missing OJCs has led to "taking stock" of a bunch of Prestige sessions. About time for a CT jag.

This came from a Kart interview with Dexter.

Who's Boodles?

and beer?

Yeah , but loansharks never had websites Now they just mail out credit cards. Yesterday they issued mortgages. Something new in the morning.

Nah, I'm going to the dog fights tonight.

Have not read the link but microfunding has been going on for about 100 years.

Happy vacation. Always wondered why you were "off", now I'll chalk it up to "vacation". We await your return.

Me either. Try to imagine a guitarist with 3 or 4 hands.

To me he always sounded like an adventurous spirit without a reliable compass.

These boys are gonna fuck us all. Not my fault will be all the answers. Greedy fuckers.

A discography would answer all your questions. You do like books, don't you?

Just need beer and junk food to become a full member.

Artists are a pain in the ass.

Back in the day (probably now too) I preferred his trio records and tolerated the vocals as the price to pay for my pleasures. Adding horns seemed to dilute the Allison qualities I liked.
