does that offer apply to my 11 kids as well? They're basically well behaved (don't believe a word of what anybody says about that little incident in Oakland); however, we would like breakfast by 9 am - and none of this continental stuff -

what kind of clarinet was it? those old ones are fetching good money these days on ebay - somebody get me a shovel -

hey, Toronto experts, this is a long shot but I have to ask - Al Haig's widow lives in Toronto, and I lost touch with her many years ago - anyone ever run into her (her name is Joanne and she has remarried)? I've been trying to find her (for one thing, Fantasy/Concord owes her money) -

well, my brother was working a country and western gig on guitar, and there was an old upright piano that sat in a pit below the stage that the rest of the band was playing on (the band had a pianist who was banging away on it)- in the middle of the gig they heard a streaming sound, looked over, and a drunken patron was peeing from the stage into the upright piano -

I like Johnny Otis, but I would take many of his pronouncements with a lot of grains of salt - he whines and whines, for example, about exploitation, yet himself made a few efforts to steal song credits (as in the original Houndog; he was successfully sued by Lieber and Stioller); also, his anti-rock and roll rants are tiresome. However, I love his 1940s and 1950s bands -

they say married men live longer - but I think it just SEEMS longer - my wife spent the entire day at the beauty parlor - and that was just for the estimate - the other day, my house caught on fire and kids started screaming - my wife said, "Quiet, you'll wake up daddy!"

what? People hiding behind false identities on the internet? -yours truly, Raul (and who knows who Son of Weizen REALLY is -)

I would guess $8 shipping for one, $12 for both - to Western Europe -

this whole thing has smelled bad from the beginning - and I find sickening not only the events, but the police unwillingness to do any work - I recently found out, about a year after the fact, that an old friend of mine was murdered; the person who did it was convicted, but of a lesser charge because the defense lawyer was able to smear my dead friend at the trial - I made a call to the DA who tried the case and found out that the DA failed to ask some basic questions that would have likely proved that the defendant perjured herself, and that the cops did not do the most routine kind of investigation or follow up on the chain of evidence (all of which would have proved pre-meditation) - the (somewhat) amusing side of this is that if you watch shows like CSI and Law and Order, every case is an epic battle for truth and justice. In real life they follow the path of least resistance -

sorry - I though Weizen's original post was in code -

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 -
