  1. Rhymes with Payton.
  2. All the best to Mr Lunch.
  3. I like/love most of the painters mentioned. Lots of (hip) reasons to dislike Dali, but he had amazing technique and he could have used it in destructive ways - he didn't. That counts for a bunch in my book since so many 20th century "artists" did tons of damage with much less.
  4. Fond memories of Ms Stevens from Met broadcasts (commercial am radio in the '50s) and tv variety shows. Amazing how all the tech gains of the last 50+ years have lowered the bar.
  5. FWIW, The Hawk In Hi-Fi has a string section in the band for 8 of the original 12 tunes.
  6. Freeman could be "great". Depends on the script. 90% of impersonation is attitude and I'm sure Mr Freeman understands the Ellington attitude.
  7. Tex Book Tenor. Had it on lp years ago, Uncle SKid left his copy with me for a couple of weeks and it sounded better than I remembered.
  8. Pushing Tin ain't too bad.
  9. Just a bit too long to make it on 2 discs.
  10. I want the complete Seeco recordings. The Leon Merian recordings are missed.
  11. Just weight and burns.
  12. I was confused. I was even more confused when I played another copy of the record and discovered the "other version".
  13. Met Mr. Pomus around 1980 when he showed up at Delmark's office while I was there. Wheelchair bound with an "handler" he was a really interesting character. It was a beautiful afternoon and I am grateful for the opportunity.
  14. Duke played this game with his fans (an ugly bunch) where he played a few bars of Carolina Shout or his "first composition" Soda Fountain Rag. It was a friggin' routine. No matter, his touch and memory were fine. If there is a "god", let him bless DE!
  15. And I really like Patti Page. Time for your folks to understand this is "nostalgia", not music.
  16. My personal car in a 1992 Nissan SE-R. Cheapo sports coupe. I love it - 200,000 miles, failing electrical system, suspension, exhaust system, etc. This is the best car I ever had! I can only drive it locally 'cause the battery will die and 5th gear is gone. If I was challenged by a guy with a 'vette (or something like that) I'd put my car and skills up anytime.
  17. it would save even more bandwidth if everyone spoke Dutch. Much less blahblah, more to the point, and much less native speakers who think that every shitty little nuance is caught by the entire world and everyone beyond. We desperately need more talk-like-a-pirate days. Go stick your finger in a dike and save the world. I'm busy, typing with one finger here now. What's your contribution? Unless something happened, you have another 8 fingers. Details about the tasks they perform would be appreciated.
  18. Can't imagine why this isn't listed. It is in Bruyninckx which means it must now be in Lord.

  20. All those folks are in the boxed category.
