Chuck Nessa

No but I did hear him a couple of times in an organ trio. He was the leader but had a tough time getting gigs. I don't remember the other guys in the band.

Odie made his own rules. He could play jazz in a very convincing Sid Catlett style and Fred used to bug me to use him on a jazz date.

Am I missing something? Aren't these going to be regular retail reissues? That was my impression. But he should buy a burner anyway.

Did not vote - we have a "split house". I like Pumpkin and as the band knows, Ann is partial to Sweet Potato. Why isn't this in a "musical" thread?

I think we were just slimed!

Might be forgivable, given that the list was complied in 1995 and the disc was released in 1997. I got my copy 20 years before that.

Peach pal here.

Don't think we will do any of that stuff. Almost typed crap and resisted.

Babo.

I was just going to mention Robbie. In 1966 he slept in the next room for a couple of weeks. Weird dude.

Not sure what the deal is with drummer/bandleaders but I went through emotional rollercoasters with Stevens and Hal Russell. One day I was the savior, the next the worst mf on earth. Then the next time I'm on top of the world. Maybe I should pare this "problem" down to white drummer/leaders. Trevor Watts sent a message to me to relax - John has these "swings" and they don't mean anything. I wish I could lay my hands on the letters.

I'm getting dizzy.

Boy am I relieved. I thought she invented the pop-up timer.

The last 20 years of "Indie improvements" have eluded me.

I think it was recorded at Mike's place and he does not want the wife to know. Many ambiguous entries on Mike's site can be answered by my response.

They were in at least one of the Alan Freed rock films. That's where I first heard of them back when. Just checked and they were in Don't Knock the Rock and The Girl Can't Help It.

I thought that was the way it was? Am I wrong? I can move it back. I don't know - seems whatever I do I get a friggin' assistant. Guess I had finally absorbed the last position.

Stop moving shit!!!!! Hard for us old farts to adapt.

Snow, snow, snow, snow and lake effect snow.

...now, that's not very nice Indianapolis is a beautiful city!!! Is that why you live in Carmel?

I purchased this session from Alan Bates. I will post details when I have time.

Possibly but her daddy would have one of his patented fits. Does he want a family of Italian proportions or not?
