Chuck Nessa

I stopped reading all the "shit posts" (not wanting to build the thread view count) and have concentrated on music posts. Good luck to y'all. I do want to say two very different things. First, it's a huge loss for Brownie to leave. Second, a couple of "recent" members seem to be driving the controversry and I find this unfortunate. Back to music.

Don't ignore the Vanguard material. Also fine is his first Columbia lp The Odyssey of James Rushing Esq recently reissued on Collectables.

I have the 9 disc set and used to have at least one bootleg lp of the Australian stuff. I can't put my finger on the reason but sometimes Kapell really bugs me. The playing is usually very strong but there is something a little unnerving about his style. An interesting mid-century American, he.

I suggest buying the lps.

Best guess is 2500-3000. It was a relatively big hit on the South Side in Chicago.

This is a really interesting story (for me if nobody else). Rock and I planned this for about a year and the recordings were a real adventure. Maybe more, but in a different thread.

Yeah, lets have a guy in Maine call a Canadian. B-)

Anything with French subtitles.

"Readability" is a huge factor for any book. It has little to do with the technical aspects but has tons to do with the words/style of the writer. You can write an important (history/chronicle/etc.) and lose the reader 'cause it's a "slog" to get through the words. Style and technique have a lot to do with it.

Don't you have something taped you need to watch?

I think a bunch of us know "these guys". Want your life in their hands?

He asked for a story and I have neither the time or energy, but I do have a couple to tell. Remind me later if you really care.

Thanks.

Michael too?

Anybody know the "tripod" photo not loading in SS1's post? I can't see it.

There are 28 sealed copies in my office. B-) How may you want?

So, basically the prosecution had people who claimed that Blake discussed having his wife killed, but couldn't make any connection to the crime other than the circumstantial evidence and the fact that it wasn't exactly a strong marriage. I tend to agree with Allen - the prosecution didn't have much of a case and apparently they couldn't push the ball past "beyond and to the exclusion of all reasonable doubt". I'm 100% with Dan on this.

Just me being "mother hen". Sorry to all involved.

Interesting. As the liner notes of the Okka make clear, I turned down the duet with McCall to issue Missing Link. Only so much investment possible.

Almost.

You kiddies kill me. B-)

I still don't know the "Hank Jones Rules"! I'd guess the first is "don't color outside the lines" but I'm not sure. Now I may never know.

He's also featured on this 1996 Jodie Christian date.

In 1999 Eddie made this one for Delmark.
