Back in 1966, Russo lived in Chicago and wrote record reviews for Down Beat. One day he walked into the Jazz Record Mart with a few review copies to sell. That is how I got a first pressing on Sun Ra's Magic City.
We are prohibited from driving and the emergency vehicles can't get through. Streets might be cleared in 2 days.
Just watched some silly citizen with a vehicle w/blade try to go down our street. Big FAIL. He backed out and went home.
6 or 8 inches so far, but the wind is so strong I can't see across the street through the sideways snow. Travel is forbidden in Buffalo and Eire County. Temp dropped from 39 to 12. Friends half an hour south have 2 feet.
1966 and I'm working at the Jazz Record Mart. Mongo spent the afternoon sitting on a stool sifting through the 78 inventory. I have no memory of anything he purchased.
