Chuck Nessa

Chuck? Chu-uck? Nah. I paid for the info and will keep it to myself.

Most of my "notify me when"s go unanswered.

Yup.

FWIW, DG order in ones and twos. They have a really tight inventory, up to date web inventory and a fan base not necessarily earned by supply. How many times have you gone back to find stuff "out of stock"?

They carry them 'cause they are cheap and can get bucks for themselves, nomatter the quantity or quality.

Depends on the kind of dance you are wedded to.

What, a Felsted set? I'm in! I guess you just don't get dance.

Interesting how "age" and point of "hearing" influence ratings of sessions. Lee was always "fine" and the rest relates to "degrees".

Looks like Funny Rat is in danger of degenerating into a clothing thread.

Terrible times should produce great art. No evidence of that yet unless bitching counts.

Did they find the fireman and the indian?

Can Mosaic Dance be far behind?

It could be the old mastering.

Got something against dogs?

No need. I'll go away.

Gonna be some primo dog food on the market soon.

Chuck, you have your stuff you get way too serious about, too! The name change thing is a fascinating story for anyone that doesn't know it. Silly edit. Yes, the uninformed are always fascinated. You still haven't forgiven me for John Handy - Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival meaning more to me than Albert Ayler, so you're following me around from thread to thread to torture me! I can tell my grandkids that I was harrassed by a legendary jazz producer! I didn't even remember that was you. Do you think you are being stalked. If so, call for help. I was responding to the words, not the writer.

Somewhat, but not overt. It's a cry for human decency and the spirit of what this country can be at it's best, like 'Scarecrow' was. I'm a registered republican (who has big problems with both parties), and was not turned off at all lyrically (in fact I found them powerful and thrilling), and I can't imagine that a registered democrat would be turned off either. The album needs to be heard by anybody who's an American. Some of the U.S.-bashing corner of the European crowd won't like the lyrics, but this album isn't for them anyways. Nothing in the recording to stop another GM commercial.

That would be the one. His name has been changed several times throughout his career. IIRC, it started out as John Cougar, then progressed to John Cougar Mellencamp, and now it's just John Mellencamp. Kinda bizarre, but I've always dug the cat. Maybe the next incarnation of his name will be a hip modern version: JMell Actually not bizarre at all. His real name is Mellencamp, he had the showname Johnny Cougar, and as his music became more real, he also took back his real name (after a fight with the record company, who was appalled at the idea. The John Cougar Mellencamp phase was a transitional compromise so that he would still be recognizable on the shelves back when there were shelves of records in real brick and mortar stores). You are way too serious about this stuff.

Serious question: I started buying Ellington recordings in the '50s, have about 250 cds and another 150 lps (not to mention 78s, 45's, 10" lps, reel tapes, cassettes, dats, etc). I still have not completely digested the Brunswick 45s in my collection. How the heck can you need more? As I said, serious question.

To answer the topic title: "I could never imagine a situation where I would have sex with you".

We talkin' 'bout Johnny Cougar? This message by an old guy who lived in Bloomington in the late '60s.

Maybe it's time to get a room.
