AllenLowe

I remember the jazz museum, actually went to a concert there when I was just a wee lad -

and you guys will get no more biblical passages from ME - I don't want Moses suing me for fair use -

damn - I was just about to post the entire text of War and Peace - anybody know if it's still under copyright?

I happen to know tha Jsangry gets a nickel each time he posts -

is this concert coming up?

Dr. Spock - oh, sorry, for a minute I thought I was Sarah Palin's daughter -

the Bible - oh, sorry, for a minute I thought I was Sarah Palin -

hey I wonder - if you post the same thing twice, does Jim subtract one of them from your number of posts?

guess I did mention it - I also, as I recall, fell asleep in the middle of it -

did I ever mention that my parents took me to a John Cage concert, possibly at Carnegie Hall, in the early 1960s? All I remember are two huge hi-fi speakers that were on either side of the stage, and a guy who rode across that stage on a bicycle -

Bishop's avant-country record is quite good, but I have been disappointed to find that some of his other, more jazz-style stuff, sounds somewhat generic -

that's one of my favorite LPs -

that's ok, I was thinking more in terms of drunken musicians calling me in the middle of the night to complain that I owed them money - of course, they could never tell me EXACTLY what I owed them money for - I guess on general principle - and than, of course, one of said musicians called me about ten years later in the middle of the night to APOLOGIZE for accusing me of owing him money - part of his 12 Step Program. But I digress...your book sounds a lot more interesting -

"Just think if they had let Allen Lowe write the Dexter Gordon section." not a bad idea - I once had a conversation with Dexter that took about 4 hours - or maybe just seemed to - back to Penguin - they had me in the first few guides, called me a "cult figure" in one of them, which I kinda liked - impressed my daughter to think that the old man had something in common with Charles Manson -

good idea Larry - and talk to me if you're interested in about 80 stories; these days they come back to me like flashbacks in the night; that's why I'm making a film, though I should write 'em down -

maybe people thought he was dead because he's a drummer who plays very quietly....

I remember Harewood - used to see him in the 1970s - looked alive then -

so, I called Columbia University Jazz Studies today as I was trying to reach a guy there who's doing research on Julius Hemphill; well, first I talked to some dodo who never heard of Julius and he says hold please; next thing I know, someone picks up and says "this is George Lewis." I was somewhat taken aback, but first thing I could think of to say was, "hi, I'm Allen Lowe, by the way, I know Chuck Nessa."

I'M BACK

glad to see this because I've just located a bunch of my old photos form the 1970s - shots I took of AL Haig, Duke Jordan, a shot of Eddie Durham, Bob Neloms, Chet Baker, Joe Venuti, Roy Eldridge, some shots from Bill Evans' funeral, some shots of Jaki Byard, Charlie Banacos, Bill Triglia, Max Roach, Dizzy, Basie, George Shearing, Schildkraut, Art Pepper, Sonny Stitt - will take me a while but as soon as I get them scanned I will put them on here -

definitley Schlitten, as he told me so himself way back when (I worked for him briefly) -

we're unrelated, but I met Frank through Julius Hemphill - truly one of the nicest people I ever met -

thanks, Jim, will probably be in contact - was worried as I had a good talk with the guy who does my tech and he is worried re-my current setup and the amount of disc space that video takes up - problem right now is that I can't put the bucks into the kind of upgrade that would make it work - thanks everybody for the various advice - and what's so funny about that Mother Theresa remark?

I haven't watched TV since last night -
