AllenLowe

second cousin to Mort Drucker -

somewhere I have an LP with Weatherford piano solos, and they may be the things that are on the 78s - interesting stuff, the work of a pianist who, once ahead of his time, was now a little behind the times - but still a terrific musician (and an early influence on Earl Hines) - I also think that my Devilin Tune set has one of these - will have to take a look later in the week -

just googled it - definitely Stanley Drucker -

I have a vague memory of seeing a well-known clarinetist - Stanley Drucker? or a similar name - play a Nielsen clarinet piece with orchestra, maybe 40 years ago - great piece - and Drucker, or whatever his name was, lived in my home town (Massapequa) and performed it with the local symphony -

Larry, by the way - I can't find that other thread - but that's definitely Jaki Byard on piano with Ferguson -

Twizzzle - where the hell did you get that picture? It's in a file of mine somewhere - and that's SEAN SMITH on bass - great player, still out there somewhere -

well, even that's not really known for sure - it is thought that DA Wade MIGHT have been working on some kind of script, but nobody knows - the key here is to understand that the news media, rather than reporting the important thing - the release of info long held back - reports the least credible of the stories. In the annals of JFK assassination response, this is nothing new -

Alex Ross - EDC's favorite critic -

good - now go out and liquidate all CDs by my jazz competitors -

Dan's right, this transcript is bogus - HOWEVER - the true significance of this report is that they are about to release thousands of pages on the Ruby trial which have been withheld for about 40 years - that's the real news story; the Dallas PD has been one of the most racist and corrupt in the country; they have been held reponsible for more false convictions than any other department in the US until the recent choice of an African American chief; during the time of the JFK assassination the word was out to keep Jews and blacks off of juries, and the DA Henry Wade was basically a white supremacist; the mayor's brother was a major CIA asset - so this may turn out to be quite interesting -

actually it really is me, and I took it myself with a digital camera as I sat at a red light in South Portland, Maine - than used it on my new CD cover -

and larry K. and chuck N. and Jim A. and Jim S. and Joe G. and Chris A. why is this starting to sound like a Victorian novel?

and, of course, the G-Spot - and G-Men and gee whiz and cheese whiz -

few people know this, but Kenny G is related to Najee and Gandhi Ji - and Kenny P (Peplowski) -

Berigan he likes -

and he is looking at YOU - and all the rest of you liberals out there -

Murray Chotiner - mob-connected early associate of Richard Nixon, who continued to assist Nixon aftrer he was elected president; Chotiner is considered to be the inventor, I kid you not, of dirty tricks - he helped Nixon win his first (and very dirty) campaign against Helen Gahagan Douglas for congress and hooked Nixon up with mobsters and lots of cash. When I was working for Allard Lowenstein in his unsuccessful run for congressional re-election (circa 1970), Lowenstein lost in a very dirty campaign, and rumors had it that Chotiner had assisted in his opponent Norman Lent's campaign. Years later a Lowenstein bio confirmed that Chotiner had been a mastermind of that campaign. Chotiner died somewhat mysteriously after a seemingly minor car accident -

I was thinking, "doh!"

hey Weizen - I know a good park bench on Central Park West - get a good blanket and a loaded pistol and nobody will bother you - unless it's the Secret Police on Republican patrol - I hope Guantanamo has a jazz club - enjoy your stay -

Mozart/Segovia/Bechet

"Knowledge is Good" -Faber College "Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour?"

well, I hate to say it, but I always thought of AllenLowe as MY cute little handle here - and hell, I've been thrown off of so many bulletin boards I can't remember 'em all (actually only two: The Fender Forum for telling the head man that guns are indeed a political issue - he insists they are not, and will brook no dissent -and the 78 list for telling them "hey whitey black music is gonna get your mama" when so many of them insisted that white people were the prime source of jazz and blues) - and this place has definitely gotten more civilized since Jim got (justifiably) fed up -

of course, we can always turn to the Blind Willie McTell/Lennie Tristano/Roland Kirk performance - problem is the barking dogs in the background -

of course, in the land of reality, there's probably an Eddie Lang/Athur Schutt/Frank Trumbauer performance or two -

than there's the famous Kenny G/Hendrix/Liberace gig recorded at Plato's Retreat - Chuck, who was there, has a CDR of this one, but I can't get him to make me a dupe -
