Chuck Nessa

I have no idea what happened.

They were talking about the same situation in Chicago this morning on WGN.

I got mine from BMG back awhile. In fact that's how I got all the Miles boxes.

No time to sort it all out now, but I think you missed some stuff in the early '80s. Maybe that will suffice after all. Time for bed.

The father of the "white, northside scene" was Hal Russell, not Ken or his friend John Corbett.

Jazz artists do not care how old you are if you pay the cover, have a couple of drinks and buy the cd. B-)

Let me add a big "thank you" for sharing a very personal moment. All wishes to the mom.

The string of lights above Jim's head looks like a couple of breasts hanging down from above. Maybe? Wes, you've been up too late... Wes obviously has a fixation and it is probably keeping him up.

OUTSTANDING!! All the best. I'm curious about the name too. Milo is my father's name, was the name of another farmer down the road and was the name of the guy at the TV shop in town. So, I grew up around 3 Milos but never encountered another in my life. Though I did meet a cat with that name.

We gave him the dribble glass.

Paul on the left, GregK on the right.

I never "sent" it - I hit "preview" and it didn't work. I deleted it now. Back to the drawing board.

Scorpio has been around for 30+ years as a major source of "cut-outs" for retailers. As the vinyl dried up, they started licensing stuff to make their own product. They are (AFAIK) honest but "product oriented" as opposed to "sound oriented". This is not in any way meant as a "dis", just a way to inform you of their priorities.

No mention of a fave from my school days - Oliver Nelson's Takin' Care of Business : Oliver Nelson (as,ts) Lem Winchester (vib) Johnny "Hammond" Smith (org) George Tucker (b) Roy Haynes (d).

Roy is why my pants stay up "in style". Thanks Jazz!

Sorry to hear the news. In addition to his record, radio and notes reputation, he seemed to be a really fine guy. At some time in my "internet life" he sent me an email saying I was the only name he recognized online. We had a short exchange, but I found him to be one of the "good guys".

We are still at Carla's. Will check out the photos when we get home. There are some group shots with Conn, GregK and the band members. They look ok on the camera.

Bastard!

I think there's a typo in the second word of your message.

Once I was at a meeting when a musician said "I wish, just once, a record producer said 'hey, we made more than we expected on that project - here's some extra bread' ". I said I'd be happy to do that AFTER I heard a musician said "Hey, I know what you were trying to do, and it just didn't work out - here's some bread back". He laughed and gave me an elbow in the ribs. Please note, I understand your complaints. They are valid, but are the same for all "art driven" folks.

Nothing. My wife takes care of that.

Well...there's Freddie Keppard, Bunk Johnson, Buddy Bolden...and that's just for starters. Thanks a bunch Moose.

I'm willing to put the indie record company problems against yours anytime. Wanna go toe to toe? (And I don't live in a town full of label owners/producers.)
