I think it's Goldberg on tenor -

this whole thing was a marginal deal, let us say, and I was assured that all clearances had been made - not too sure of that now and just trying to get my money back -

sounds familliar - and very likely Lonehill "borrowed" my work -

all right people, everything will have gone out by tomorrow, I think - wasn't anticipating moving this much stuff, so one or two of you may have gotten a confused email in which I ask you what you ordered - I don't know if it's just me but I keep havng trouble matching names and people's handles; that's why I keep it plain Allen Lowe, in spite of those FBI calls and visits - if anybody doesn't get something or gets the wrong thing (can't happen, I swear) let me know by, say, the middle of next week - not that I'll do anything about it; it'll just let me know whose emails to block -

Hines had such a unique rhythm sense that few other pianists have even tried to reference it - the late Dill Jones could get some of that feeling, and I've heard some early Dave Frishberg which hinted at it -

we were in a hair band together -

strange coincidence - that's my nickname -

whn I have a little more time I will pull all my Decca reissue LPs and make some (mildly processed) transfers - stunning sound, as I recall, on the ones where they did not booger them with stereo and reverb -

allright, so now you're posting 16 year old articles - what's next - Dewey Elected President? Lincoln Shot? Lowe Arrested in Call Girl Ring? (different Lowe, I assure you)

well, the chicken put up a fight, but Jim dropped the B3 on him and that was it -

"Anyway, with Steven's help, I took home and transferred the parts for "West End Blues" by Zach Whyte's Chocolate Beau Brummels; two sides by Pine Top Smith, including an unissued take of "Now I Ain't Got Nothin' at All" and eight others. I almost but for some &(^%$( reason DIDN'T take the two Gennett sides by Carmichael's Collegians, "Walkin' the Dog" and "March of the Hoodlums." I can still see them leaning against the box where I left them. I had reason to hope that Steven and I - or Steven alone - could return there on a regular basis, but for reasons he never made entirely clear, he wouldn't and we didn't" Bruce: just fyi, as I recall (and I would have to go through my LPs to confirm) at least these particular cuts did come out on Decca LPs, in excellent mono sound - some good news, than -

funny thing is, I can remember exactly where I was when JFK, Elvis, and Sonny Criss died - I was living in Brookline, Mass. when a friend of mine called to say he'd heard that Criss shot himnself, distraught over his stomache cancer - bad day -

like it, but not a big fan - heard it once, as they say.... on the other hand, been meaning to tell you, impressed with the string quartet -

"I've been in contact with him. He's fine" sure, now that you've cleaned out all his bank accounts, maxed out his credit cards, and sold his wife and children into slavery -

sorry, just cleaned it out, I must be popular (not counting the 12 threatening messages from Alfredson) - the webster is gone but the others are yours -

probably right, but as long as it EXISTED there was always the chance somebody would get in the vault and either put it out or "liberate" it, as we used to say - look, there's tons of stuff in the British museum that you or I will never see, but it is THERE for scholars or anyone who wants to know about this stuff - there should be preservationist laws for recordings, like there are for buildings -

I particularly love the Black Lion solo sets -

last chance - or maybe first chance -

bump - somebody buy these or Goldberg bites the dust - he's being held in my secret hideaway in Montana -

not worried about forever - just maybe 80 years -

talented guy -

there is a ton of pre-Decca stuff that Decca owned for years and that came out sporadically on LP (of which I have most) - there was a jug band CD, and another of old 20s and 30s black bands - I have this stuff, and the sound is the most amazing of ANYTHING I have heard of that vintage (you feel like you are in the room with these guys who are recording 60-80 years ago) - it is fantastic stuff, and there was probably tons more never released, on metal masters and god-knows-what, that we will now never hear in this kind of fidelity (another incredible one is the Bunny Berigan session from the 1930s) - there were Brunswicks they put out and other stuff, who-knows-what, now we will never know - to hear some of this stuff is to ride in a time machine. But now its over and gone - we will never get the unreleased stuff, as a matter of fact they probably didn't even know what they had - not to mention some glorious Armstrong, Fletcher Henderson, King Oliver, Joe Turner, Mildred Bailey, Chick Webb, Stuff Smith, Duke Ellington - a lot of which was put out only in horrible stereo with reverb - so save whatever LPs you have. It's like finding cave paintings that are then destroyed by a flood -

check out the latest Paris Hilton sex video - her partner looks an awful lot like Goldberg -

amazing thing about him was that his best playing was really post-1960 when he made his comeback -

DECCA! oh god, this is really bad...
