    Jimi Hendrix

    well, there's already a previous thread on Jon Hendrix, his dad -
  2. in 1967 I attended the NY State Music Camp in Delhi, New York and there was a chubby kid there who was a little bit obnoxious but who could play the hell out of a piano - it was Kiener, of course - never saw him again but followed his professional exploits over the years -
  3. "live at Monterey" is great - I've said this before but I've always felt she became too much of a blues sage in her later years - especially as there's an old quote where she speaks about feeling limited by the blues - and her later playing is too one-note for me; over the years, however, she wrote great arrangements (nice one for Benny Goodman recorded on Capitol); played pieces that were dissonant and complex; also recorded a version of Caravan, maybe 1943, that shows a striking resemblance to Monk, or at the least a powerful reference - don't have it in front of me but it's somewhere on Devilin Tune - I tried to get her to let me interview her back in the 1970s, went and spoke to her at the Cookery; she was evasive and I never pursued it, though I wish now that I had - amazing lady -

    I like Don Ellis and I like this thread, Durium - keep it going -
  6. love those Lil Hardin shots - will do a little more scanning this weekend - found a pic of Roy Eldridge that I'd forgotten I'd taken - among other things -

    and let us not forget the thread about prior threads that were about future threads that concerned other threads that mentioned later threads that happened to mention earlier and later threads: http://whocaresaboutanything lowe posts.organissimo.org/forum/index/wtfwtfwtf://http://whocaresaboutanything lowe p...index/wtfwtfwtf://http://whocaresaboutanything lowe p...index/wtfwtfwtf

    and of course there was the thread about not having threads about prior threads unless there had been a prior thread about threads that were about prior threads: http://loweistoodamnniceforthisplanet.orga...index/wtfwtfwtf

    or course, we already had a thread about a thread that was about a thread that concerned a thread about prior topics in this thread: http://loweistoodamnannoyingforthisplanet....index/wtfwtfwtf

    of course, we dealt with a post about your post dealing with a prior thread in this prior thread: http://loweistoodamnsmartforthisplanet.org...index/wtfwtfwtf

    I don't know, Jim - I think we dealt with YOUR point in a prior thread: http://loweistoodamnhandsomeforthisplanet....index/wtfwtfwtf
  12. 2 6v6s, a 5y3, a 6sl7 and a 6sn7 (those last two are old octals) - even weirder is my Knight amp (a rebuilt PA from the 1940s, I think): 2 6v6s, a 6z7 (good luck finding more of these); a 6J7 and a 5Z3 -

    neither of whom attended my Bar Mitzvah -

    Don Ellis

    I thought this was about Ray Ellis - or Ellis Larkin -
  15. just, by the way, acquired the greatest amp head ever - based on a 5C3, which was the first Fender Deluxe tweed circuit (preceded the 5D3 and the 5E3) - this baby sings, grit and fire - also, by the way, found the best amp guy I ever used (and who fixed the 5c3 for me after someone else botched it up): Dan Lurie in South Burlington, Vermont - great guy who does great work - contact me if you need some done - I'll get you his contact info -
  16. well, if they've found them they're no longer lost - will have to change the title of that release -
  17. McCain for President stickers - tired of peeling them off strangers' car bumpers in the middle of the night-
  18. his book on pop music is quite interesting, though ultimately wrong-headed, I think -
  19. Eric Bentley! one of my most-read critics -
  20. no did on
  21. I love Nestico's playing - heard him once in person but damned if I can remember when or how - but it was ELECTRIC - what a sound -
  22. yes Larry, I saw that exact Spider John group on the lawn at Newport in 1969 - great stuff, really captured the old time feel -
  23. no but I saw Spider John Koerner - and THERE was a guy who could play -
  24. aren't those guys too old to be detectives? I mean, I was offered the cheerleader part in that Kristen Dunn movie and I turned it down - I just don't look as good in pom poms as I used to - and I'm tired of the audience trying to look up my skirt -
  25. might work - need to check the Flux Capacitors - or the Way Back Machine -
