  1. My favorite recordings by the label have never made the transition to cd. Earl Hines' three "Quintessential" lps are missing masterpieces.
  2. I jammed a blue short in traffic the other night.
  3. Just enjoy the music. That's what it is supposed to be about.
  4. That will be a very spiritual experience, for sure! Saw him two or three years ago, solo, and it was a great concert. Hired him once for a festival gig. National broadcast, 10,000 fans waiting and the band stands for about 5 minutes in the wings. We nudge a band member and say "you have to go on". The guy says "the master is waiting for the planets to be in the correct spaces". An associate says, "Tell him the check won't clear unless he hits the stage now"! He was at the piano in 30 seconds.
  5. It is entirely possible many folks scored on that wall, in spite of "kind of hard to make out".
  6. I think the Pearson set was caused by "demand" from potential customers. Most of them didn't know what they were asking.
  7. I think they might start over with 78s. First issue will be BN 1, Meade Lux Lewis playing Melancholy (side a) and Solitude (side b). Since I already have this 78, I will pass.
  8. So, what's a minute of music worth? Great music more, medium music less, shit nothing? Let us know where you stand.
  9. Len was a local when I lived in Boston in the mid '70s. Loved him then.
  10. Done.
  11. When given a choice, always bet against Charlie Rose. He's a friggin' idiot.
  12. Time for Berrie to start saving his urine in mayonnaise jars.
  13. Not being this sophisticated, I usually jump up and down on the wrench. I rare cases, like when I replaced a wheel bearing, I slipped a length of pipe over the wrench for more leveraged. Other motor vehicle events demand a shotgun.
  14. this is what i got. no source though, so who knows Thank god you have a free download and not the 4 cd commercial release (4 hours +), with complete notes and remuneration to the Coltrane family. "no source though, so who knows". Time to grow up.
  15. Might be an AAJ member.
  16. DA owns Black Lion and Freedom. No current connection to Bates and Candid.
  17. Never can tell with you.
  18. High Society
  19. Elvis Costello Elvis Grbac John Elvis Miller Rice Miller Millard Filmore Filmore West
  20. Romo's for real. Don't think the Cowboys are.
  21. Where did you hear that? Probably in some caffeine or tobacco inspired dream.
  22. Sometimes the most intense shit is really slow. It might take a while to understand this. The most intense "classical" music I can think of is the slow movement of Schubert's 960.
