Me too. Great to read it again.

Parochial school?

Max plays his ass off during the concert, and gives us the first view of a "totally bebop quintet". Prior to this recording all commercial bop records included a "ringer" from the previous era. I would hope all really serious fans of the era would listen (and chart sequentially) the commercial recordings of the time. I have done this and it's really informative. I decided the cymbal playing on 52nd nailed it as Sid - that was my call. I still think it is Catlett on drums here though S Crouch and L Schoenberg think it's Max.

I really disagree. We need "the music" and "the document". About 50 years ago Riverside did this and now Rounder has. We should say "thanks", not whine.

This is a silly fight with folks taking sides with stronger opinions than their "points" deserve. If FD had used the word "context" there would be no problem from my point of view.

Great news indeed. Thanks.

Our everchanging plans call for us to show up early for dinner and good seats.

The balance is on the 2 volumes of Three Blind Mice.

He was cool to me.

What was the one you told me at the club? Pick Yo' Nose? ← Sounds right. See ya Saturday.

No changer?

So I take it you're a Courvoisier man.

Not the quartet record.

This was included in a 3 disc set titled Scratching the Seventies. Others included are Scraps, Dreams, Roba and The Owl.

RCA/BMG owns it and it is a piece of crap.

More likely a bargain counter tenor at breast.

I suggest you keep 'em, I will. Nothing bad about having all the music in one place.

I listened to about 5 minutes of the Fresh Air show yesterday and dumped it. Tuned in today and about a half hour in Terry announced "part two" of the Anka interview. I turned the radio off. He sounded like the most egocentric a-hole on earth the first few minutes of the first day. What was she thinking! If that was "the point" it backfired for me.

Don't know the cd graphics but the lps were fine. Can you give examples?

It is the "source" of the dubbings I object to. Be happy in "EU". I do think mr. HB is in the US. It would be much better if these guys weren't so greedy they want to sell their free goods over here.

"You have a friend in the business".

I did ask. We will wait for an answer.

Don't know. I've been in touch with him recently, I'll ask.

Where's the finger smilie?

I'll buy multiple copies of "Take Yo' Dump".
