never have sex with a wax cylinder during a heat wave -

depends what you put them on -

problem is, even giving away material copywritten by others is illegal - so trading likely falls under the same restriction -

"I've never had any luck getting sexy with a record" try a 45 - larger hole in the center -

well look, sometimes you gotta sleep with someone before they'll give you a review copy -

not a Cosby fan either - his blanket put-down of current-day black parenting, his blanket assault on hip hop, and not to mention his pattern of allegedly drugging women and than raping them - a few law suits point this out, as well as a detailed magazine story a few years back in which more thna a few women came forward to testify as to his actions - finding wannabe actresses and than taking advantage of them - and his courtroom appearances of support for his good friend Martha Stewart -

I have Alcina on an original LP - I'll sell it if somebody offers me more than it's worth (gotta buy shoes for the dog) -

yeah, my mind goes toward space but not quite to the land of Ra - Ronnie Boykins is/was one of my favorite bass players - I heard him in person only once (in a small group with Bob Neloms, at the Tin Palace - amazing sound -) I usually find the first 3-5 minutes edifying, and than... love Marshall Allen, Gilmore, too, Pat Patrick scared me once (but I was only 16 or so) - love the sound of Ra in small doses - and than it's like listening to my old Buddhist friends chant, back in, say 1973 or so - I appreciate their sincerity but I don't find it compelling -

I have no idea what you are talking about - welcome -

not trying to cause trouble, but is there anyone else here who, when listening to Sun Ra, after, say, 1965, can almost never get through an entire track? my mind wanders to another place, let us say, as I listen (to the land of boredom?) - love his piano playing, by the way, and have the Bley-produced solo album -

"This site was down/not available to me this morning. Was anyone else shut out?" sorry, that post makes too much sense - moderators take note - and please escort this gentleman out of this thread -

or three: Sp el lcheck

actually, isn't Spell Check twowords?

chicken likes me

I like chicken

I often have things I want to post but have no place to post them, and end up annoying people by putting them in threads that have nothing to do with my post. So I am starting a free-form digression thread, open to anything as long as it is not insulting or hurtful (excluding my own posts, of course) - and no naked pictures or anything related to barnyard animals (save that for the "offering and looking for" department)

I met Francis at Bill Evans's funeral, and we corresponded for a time - he was a genuinely nice man, we started talking because he found out I was a friend of Haig's, and also that I knew Bill Triglia - he also was surprised to find anybody who knew a lot about Bud Powell, so we had a bit in common. I know he was a troubled guy, from what I heard later, but I found him, in my brief encounter, smart and focused and decidedly unlike the image of the obsessed fan/collector. I lost touch with him, and I know he had a lot of problems later on, and I was very saddened to hear not just of his death but of the way he died -

just BTW, Harold Danko told me some years ago that Tesh studied with him for a whie - Danko was much amused by Tesh's attempts at music making -

just replied - most of the heavily discounted ones are gone, but I can still offer them at popular prices -

"there was a similar migration among whites at this period, which had a big impact on Country music. " yes, think Oakies and Bakersfield; Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Roy Hogsed; also, tons of Western Swing moving west, also Rose Maddox and family -

well, I hesitate to mention him because he always annoyed me personally, but Michael Rabinowitz (from New Haven) is quite a good jazz basoonist -

Fame -

I think it's likely to be that same Hague, who also, btw, appeared in that annoying movie and on that TV series based on the High School of Music and Arts (can't thinkof the name right now) -

2010-2020; this is the time period in which Ken Vandermark was proven to be the next Bird - and in which his new agent, EDC, finally got him on the Ed Sullivan Show - (Twilight Zone music in background: da da da da; da da da da)
