  1. I think not. Around here he's known as "Grogar the Pretender".
  2. Already mentioned him, you knucklehead! Mentioned him along with Don Herbert!
  3. I have children, sweaters, boots, etc older than that. -_- AND we got married 14 years before you be borned.
  4. Impressive.
  5. Haden and Higgins.
  6. Good for you! All the best.
  7. The original lps total about 66 minutes.
  8. It's always good to know where these guys are.
  9. Herman Blount. Mister Wizard.
  10. Not shipped in numerical order.
  11. Why the suites? Why not the whole deal?
  12. If you are willing to have "intelligent fun" please find the Scherzo recordings made by Shura Cherkassky for Tudor. These are "crazy" my favorite Chopin recordings of all time. Music "interpretation" of the highest order in my book. Otherwise, I suggest the RCA Rubinstein stuff as some sort of benchmark. Concerning "original instrument" recordings, these guys have had only a few years with this repertoire but the "inauthentic" folks had decades to digest. You take your choice.
  13. Check out "New Orleans", he's in "Pop"s" band.
  14. You'll never get a loan.
  15. Isn't the correct word "indited"?
  16. I might have told this before but in 1968 when I was pressing Roscoe's "Congliptious" at the Chess plant (Midwest Record Pressing) I took a tour of the plant and the manager told me "We're used to this stuff, look at this. He handed me a fresh pressing of "Strange Strings", hot off the Chess presses.
  17. Wednesday night TV dinners? I hear there's a good pizza joint in Whitehall! Yes there is. "bout time we spent some money there Skid. I lied. I am confining myself to taco soup tonight after a large lunch.
  18. I'll let you know after I peel the foil back.
  19. First time I noticed him on record was Harold Land's "the Fox". First time I heard him in person was with McCoy Tyner, Byard Lancaster and Eric Gravatt. The Tyner gig was in a Madison, WI bar around 1970. The band was taking no prisoners and Cecil Taylor was dancing all over the place! Bunches of history lost with that man.
  20. That shot looks like a '40s movie still. Pan to the left to see Louis Armstrong and Eli Thompson.
