Chuck Nessa

Have I become "Aric in training"?

Whatever! B-)

...very!!! I think many of us have "warm" feelings for Rachel. After all, she called me something like a "hot older guy" in another thread.

They seemed to be old friends. I think Duke introduced him as "the great Two-Ton Baker, ladies and gentlemen".

Knew I'd forget some important ones.

Off the top: All Organissimo band members Kart Litweiler Vega Ghost Al Conn Sangrey Joe Slide Rod Sheldon Skid Upright Werf I'm surely forgetting some folks.

Mention of Two-Ton Baker brings back memories of an Ellington "master class" in Madison during the early '70s. Duke spotted Mr Baker in the audience and invited him onstage. Baker waddled to the lip of the stage and rolled onto it. Duke had to help him to his feet. It was one of the most uncomfortable spectacles I've witnessed.

Not many here (any?) here old enough to get my previous post.

as stated many (unbelievably!!) pages ago, he's Andy D He's Jingles? I thought he died decades ago. B-)

Just wait Al, not all that long (take my word)! 19 is fine as long as she's not required to speak. B-)

Lately I've been enjoying the late solo "tributes" by Earl Hines. In addition to the Ellingtons (not my favorites), I've dug programs of Harold Arlen (2 discs), Cole Porter, Louis Armstrong, WC Handy, Hoagy Carmichael and two Gershwin discs. My 2 favorites are the Gershwin program recorded for Carosello (I have both lps on a single Musidisc cd) and the Armstrong tribute. I wish I still had the Dave Dallwitz program on Swaggie.

Allen Eager and Brew Moore on Savoy.

The Capitol 12" printed a moody "glam" photo on the back.

Yup.

HAPPY, HAPPY!

Best wishes. Sorry to be late. I consulted one of your discographies only yesterday.

I never read the "worst of Che" since I decided to ignore him early on. I tried a search of the "political" forum and got nowhere, so I guess it is gone. I think this is a mistake. I saw his postings to the Atsmon (sp) thread and found him to be "very clever" in the way he formed his sentences. I wanted to see the other material. Hate and it's children need to be exposed, not denied. I really disagree with the deletion, if that was done. Fresh air kills many bacteria.

I think he went to jail for an ugly crime. Since my memory is vague, I won't say what I remember.

Could be. Y'ain't seen nothing 'less you been there early in the morning when the door opens and the (2 or 3) regulars come in for the breakfast draft from Mr Anderson. "You want one Chuck?'. No, I'll wait for the coffee to finish.

Had a few beers there. Had a friendly barkeep named Fred.

I think the band needs lime green blazers.

When the wholesale price increases we should expect increases at the punp, BUT all the oil companies have been posting "record profits" during this time. If they kept the same cost/profit model the profits would not change. Can anyone think of someone to blame?

Once again, I'm with Dan. DAMN! B-)
