Chuck Nessa

I saw the bad guy walk right behind the space you parked your machine. How you doin'?

BTW, if you don't know "what's up" why give a whack?

You the guy with 9 thumbs?

No s@#t. What if his kids got a hold of those guns... Looks like Doug might be assigned to the parkiing meter duty for a while. ← No kids in the house. It turns out the bad guy had 2 or 3 hours in his house - drank his booze, tossed his files, drawers, stole 2 duffle bags of stuff. State cops do not have meters.

We didn't issue the Garner stuff, so she's off the list. BUT this was a really sobering event. About an hour ago the woman and child held hostage (by her boyfriend) drove by to survey the scene. Doug, the state cop who had his guns stolen is very upset he since he feels he endangered his neighbors and is concerned about his career since he might have violated protocols.

Damn, the first time in weeks that I don't watch the news, and I could have seen Chuck's house! ← Nope, just the mailbox covered with morning glories (heavenly blues), an interesting flower garden (courtesy of Ann) and asphalt. Did I spell that right?

What a lame assed attempt at credibility. "Hey, let's put on a show! We can play earlier music AND be praised for knowing it is worthwhile! Just like the classical guys did with music before there were recordings of the originators. I bet we can make more money than the real artists."

Local NBC station just showed a cop car turning around in our driveway.

Looks like this: Cops go to one house at 3 am for a "domestic" and leave. At 5 cops were searching yards for someone. Just before 8 I see a guy cutting across yards carrying 2 blue dufflebags. He seemed to come from Doug's house - Doug is the state cop. Doug's sister lives next door and the plumbers were at her house. Her water was shut off so she went to Doug's to get some at 10. On entering the house she sees it is trashed with beer cans everywhere and she calls 911. Police discover 2 guns and ammo missing and lock down the area. Turns out the guy returned to the scene of the "domestic" and held the woman and child hostage.

The police just declined to tell me anything. Then 3 of them went into the house where all the action was. Still about 15 cars and tons of police and some press on the block.

About 11 this morning I noticed 3 cop cars on out street. Not too unusual since the guy 2 houses down is a state cop. I got on my bike to make my regular run to the PO and noticed a backhoe in a neighbors front yard and a plumbing truck in the street. About a 100 feet from my house I was stopped by 2 officers who asked where I lived. They told me to go back home, lock it up and get to the basement. I thought maybe the backhoe hit a gas line but the gas in our house worked. A few minutes later I saw 2 swat guys run in front of our house. They crouched down behind bushes and a third dashed into the back yard across the street. Over the next half hour more "troops" arrived. Suddenly a bunch of activity and some guy is screaming and swearing at the top of his lungs. I think I heard a couple of "pops" and they yelled stay down. Most of the activity was obscured the trees and shrubs in my yard. It's over right now but lots of cops on the block. More when I know. Gotta calm my heart.

Bud Shank, Jack Nimitz, Stu Williamson, Carl Fontana, Russ Freeman, Red Mitchell, Mel Lewis and Bill Perkins.

Around the same time ('70s) Bob Porter issued 2 lps on his Phoenix label by Bill Harris and Charlie Ventura. This stuff is from the Three Deuces in April of '47. The pianist is Ralph Burns and Dave Tough is on drums.

You mean like this one? ← 'cept that one.

Tophers are cool.

Wonderful musician and from my experience, a first class human. Thanks for the beauty you gave Mr. M.

I'm sure YOU can find someone to supply a burn.

After the KOB book I received a call from Ashley Kahn telling me he was doing the "Love Supreme" book and he had a couple of questions for me (since I'd actually heard Coltrane in person ). I said "Of course you are". Months later when I had the opportunity to shake his hand, he hesitated and went away.

So, I'm supposed to feel guilty?

I spoke with Scott Wenzel from Mosaic in late June and he said that Mosaic will be releasing it on vinyl. ← For really good vinyl sound, this will have to be a 2 lp set. 51+ minutes is short for that at current vinyl costs.

Thanks.

Don't think you did much more than wet yourself 10 years ago.

Am I the only person bothered by the language of the TOPIC? I'm sure I have used the word in posts but in the topic, I find it jarring.
