    I don't know, Jim - I think we dealt with YOUR point in a prior thread: http://loweistoodamnhandsomeforthisplanet....index/wtfwtfwtf
  4. 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 -

    I thought this was about Ray Ellis - or Ellis Larkin -
  7. 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 -
  8. well, if they've found them they're no longer lost - will have to change the title of that release -
  9. McCain for President stickers - tired of peeling them off strangers' car bumpers in the middle of the night-
  10. his book on pop music is quite interesting, though ultimately wrong-headed, I think -
  11. Eric Bentley! one of my most-read critics -
  12. no did on
  13. 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 -
  14. yes Larry, I saw that exact Spider John group on the lawn at Newport in 1969 - great stuff, really captured the old time feel -
  15. no but I saw Spider John Koerner - and THERE was a guy who could play -
  16. 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 -
  17. might work - need to check the Flux Capacitors - or the Way Back Machine -
  18. yas I say
  19. every time this thread re-appears I think of my days as a rehearsal pianist at San Quentin -
  20. yes, he worked for Alan Lomax for quite a few years; as a matter of fact I once went to see Ros at Lomax's office, which as I recall was in a real bad neighborhood (8th avenue, maybe) near one of the Tunnels - there was a drug deal going on outside the door. I met Lomax only briefly, but that was ROs's bread and butter for some time -
  21. thanks, but even better, I will add, is his playing on a thing we recorded called American SOng Project - we did tunes based on Tea for Two and Body and Soul; also did Dizzy Atmosphere - Ros was beyond belief -
  22. yeah that must be it -
  23. well, I'm full of something - ask JSangry - and I have tried to appreciate Rouse over the years - even heard him in a small club with my friend Neloms, probably around 1980 or so (could be wrong about the date) - it was the Angry Squire, 23rd Street - and I tell you, it was interesting but telling; Rouse was a bit detached from the band, and they were clearly surprised at his reputation - played well, but nothing that really got inside the music -
  24. and don't forget that Tokyo is 15 hours ahead of us - so, given the space/time continuum, it's gonna take that much longer. Also, the dollar will be 15 hours weaker, and the head of the Tokyo tech department will be 15 hours older and possibly dead -
  25. I actually was very taken aback, but he was very nice; I mumbled "I'm a friend of Chuck Nessa," thinking it was kind of like a talisman; unfortunately, at first he couldn't place the name-
