  2. picnics..................
  3. I enjoy weekends in the country with good friends...
  4. I'm just a lonely boy...working my way through college...
  5. what? Me a wacko? Abrasive? hmmmm.... I wouldn't hurt a fly.......................
  6. bumping for the night shift
  7. personally, I'll soon be going out onto the ice -
  8. the Hank Jones solo is his best work, IMHO -
  9. those are two separate questions, I know - anyway - I have two sets of That Devilin Tune, 4 boxes in each set; these were promos but are unused and in mint condition - just no shrink wrap. They are complete. I would like to keep them together as sets - so, will sell each set of 4 boxes for $125 plus shipping - paypal preferred - my paypal address (and new email) is alowe5@maine.rr.com now if somebody insists, and wants to break 'em up - I might be willing to part with individual boxes for $35 each - shoot me an email -
  10. I've often been compared to the following:
  11. the Maine caucuses were indeed interesting - though I was late, as I was headed, first, toward Russia, and had to turn around -
  12. what strikes me about Zappa's so-called "classical" works (something of a misnomer) is how connnected they are to life - they breathe a sense of the composer's life force, if I may use a cliche, in contrast to so much I hear coming out of the academy (think of David Baker's sad works) - and if they don't, perhaps, match up to certain formal requirements it matters less than how strikingly original they are -
  13. now, you do know, we're only admitting Demorcrats this year for membership - too many of those pesky Berigan-types sneaking in -
  14. the Bernard Purdie claims, btw, are completely fictitious - I don't know why he made that stuff up, but this has been gone over extensively on Beatles boards and histories - didn't happen -
  15. sorry, nothing doing until you've slept with every moderator and given us your lunch money - until than, welcome - and congrats on escaping Maine -
  16. by the way - Larry - just noticed your reference to Eastwood Lane - there is a very good pianist (from the midwest I think, or maybe Minnesota) who recorded two volumes of Eastwood lane piano music 15 or 20 years ago - if I can find the CDs I'll give you a citation -
  17. excellent book - 78s are interesting because if you hear one that is in good condition on a decent turntable, you understand instantly why collectors thrill to the occassional mint disc - there is a clarity and space which is too often lost on bad transfers, both digital and analog -
  18. ok james - jimmy jimbo jim dandy
  19. about the Jordan - there's an old solo LP on one of the Euro labels - can't remember the one - in which he does a beautiful solo recital - gentle but effective left hand. just an interesting piece of Duke Jordan trivia - he and Bill Evans used to get together and do duets - too bad they were never recorded -
  20. Melungeons are descendants of the Turks, dark skinned and apparently non-white - Ben Harney was Melungeon -
