Chuck Nessa

That's why I wasn't sent to VietNam. IIRC the Army medical officer said "induction of Mr Nessa would be detrimental to both Mr Nessa and the Army.

Some guy named Dick Cheney knew all about student (and other) deferrals.

Blood Sweat & Tears, Chicago, Tower of Power, Ten Wheel Drive, etc.

Can I make a record with Ray Charles? Please.

That 'splains a bunch.

Me too.

What part of " R.I.P. - he was one of the first drummers I really listened to" did I misunderstand?

Eldee was the bass player. He played cello too. Always a positive spirit when I encountered him.

Maybe y'all should get a room.

I was expecting stir fried palmetto bugs.

I guess "up" is the operative word.

All the best in the new location. I take it members can stay with you and you will cook.

Even though you are now a 'bone player. They are the worst.

Thanks.

Wishing he hadn't taken the "money" turn.

You can bet yo ass it is better than "Poddy Pahpah - Coal Blues".

The first (only?) Wilson on Classics is 1945-46. The Jazz Factory seems to be a reissue of a 1954 date issued on Audiolab, Federal and King. JF adds to these 8 titles another 7, said to be from a concert in 1950. No duplication.

Don't need any more old shoes.

Probably gone since the new requirement seems to be 150 x 150. We all want to be larger.

I prefer early Woods such as these:

The daddy of them all.

Clem and I seem to have the same defect. 'cept I know it's Werner Klemperer.

I don't know. I don't buy that crap.

What label is that? Lonehill? Is that a comp of Savoy material? Will spin Modern Wondows Suite tonight. Curson is a special kind of trumpeter-kind of like Woody Shaw-he is able to play in all kinds of settings and sounds convincing in each of those cases. That was an Audio Fidelity issue. Since their logo is gone, I guess it's a "Spanish" issue.

Might be, but I have never seen that. If you want to credit the "sidemen", I might agree but......
