the only person left who has NOT ordered is Son Of Weizen...hmm....was it something I said? Hey, Lionel Hampton is on one of the CDs, somewhere -

thanks Jazzbo - Jazzbo - from what I hear I may be able to take credit cards - if you're still interested, try to make the payment through paypal - I'm told others have done this successfully -

so Weizen, why are you posting this - is she a Democrat? Are you saying Democrats are too dumb to see a cliff right in front of them? Are you saying Democrats take bad photos? And please, no more Hitler jokes -

well, it's a jazz history, but it contains related disciplines - like Western Swing, country ragtime - I will try to post a track list tonight -

special offer - if you purchased the first volume from me, I'll sell you this one for $42 shipped - or buy both for $90 shipped

I'll look into it - will probably have to call paypal -

It's out, and I will have copies in hand by this Friday, 6/23 - that Devlin Tune, the second box set, CDs 10-18, covering 1927-1934 - includes the second part of the book text as well - all orders will be filled by next Monday, 6/26 - $50 Shipped, prefer paypal, my paypal address is: alowe@maine.rr.com email me here, or at alowe@maine.rr.com (I'm home from work every night by about 5 PM EST but can usually monitor this during the day) -

has anyone mentioned the Steeplechase "live" stuff that Jackie recorded (Das Dat, Parker's Mood) - to me this is the best Jackie ever - very modern sounding, unselfconscious - I also have an LP recorded in the 1960s at the Left Bank Society - has this been reissued elsewhere or at all? Not great sound but amazing Jackie -

now I hear Volume 2 is ready - I'm always the last to know - will check with the company and report back -

well, they caught the racoon killer - turns out it was part of a love triangle- a racoon, a cow, and a goat (went into a bar...). Well, the racoon and the goat we're having a drink, and the goat told the racoon she was pregnant; the cow came by, overheard the conversation, and demanded the goat have an abortion. The goat got mad, said she'd sue for child (er, goat) support, so the cow pulled out a pistol (not sure where she was holding it) and started firing. Well, it wasn't pretty - cows can't aim to well, especially when they're mad (yes, that's where mad cow comes from) - and, as she said afterwards anyway, why cry over spilt milk?

I just sent De Barros an email - if I get the text I'll post it -

is anyone able to post De Barros's original article? I'm prejudiced, as I know and like him - also, I can tell you from personal experience that Geri Allen is not the easiest person in the world to deal with - great pianist, however -

am I confusing things, or wasn't Dicky Wells also in that early Snowden band?

I'd be interested in seeing the actual De Barros review; he's a very smart guy so I would not dismiss it out of hand -

didn't realize you are overseas - they are very good about responding to email -

"we don't know what the motive was. the attacker hasn't been found yet" yes, but the police have been questioning all livestock within a 5 mile radius of where the racoon was found, and canvassing all chicken coops in the area. They'll get to the bottom of this -

I know the Cadence people well, though I have not ordered like this. They are very honest people - just give Slim a call at 315-287-2852 and tell her I sent you. After she hangs up, call her back -

best thing, than, it just to photocopy the CD -

I saw a dead racoon in the road this morming - unless he was just napping - but I don't think he was murdered -

I was gonna call him the Liberace of guitar -

now that's my kinda guy - sort of like a no-show record date -

PP2 is ok but just adequate - actually the Bugle pre-amp is superior to it, at something like $150 assembled - sincerely yours, Allen the Invisible

that's ok, as Weizen doesn't have any class -

no, but I can show you how to meet 78s and BUY redheads -

well, as someone who has been playing the 6 string banjo (shades of Papa Charlie Jackson) - I say we need more banjo records - actually, people have forgotten how deep the banjo can be, per Gus Cannon, Papa Charlie Jackson, Doc Boggs - Mike Seeger also plays beautifully - I have more than a few of that series that Chris produced, and am glad Larry brought it up - along with some of the Atlantics that I think Herb Friedwald (Will's late dad) produced of New Orleans musicians, they showed how much life there still was in this music, how it could be organized in such a way as to not only evoke certain nostalgic feelings but to also produce great and vital music - it's not merely a matter of "authenticity" but of going to the sources, to the musicians who understood and still felt the music -
