WEENER ALERT WEENER ALERT - Ok, ok, enough about that - the best Maini, IMHO, is on the various Terry Gibbs big band "live" dates; he is at his peak, searching, rhythmically subtle, incredible soul -he also plays well on the Mingus date for Debut with Knepper/Mingus/Triglia/Richmond -

actually, send them enough money and Bob Rusch will come to your house and clean 'em for you -

I use the solution that came with the machine - I bought this from Mark at North Country Audio - as for t-shirts, best to use a greasy, sweaty one in August -

my question would be - if he had criminal intent, than where are all the Ray Charles bootlesgs made from the stuff? This may, indeed, be the beginning of the family starting to fight over the assets of the estate - shades of Hendrix -

I think it's the other - but the way I always heard it described was that he draped it over the bell of the horn - which does not appear to be the case -

Chuck - more info on the Hershel Evans/Mary Lou Williams, PLEASE!

I used to use distilled water, dish detergent, and a t-shirt - best thing now is the VPI cleaning machine. Does an incredible job -

thank you -

HERSHEL EVANS AND MARYLOU WILLIAMS? Is everyone else here sleeping - Chuck, does this really exist in your possession, and in what format and from what year (and what was it from)?

guys - I know I'm going blind and getting old, but I cannot find the weener in that photo - please draw me an arrow or something -

Trane, Rollins, Dolphy, Simone - and I'll bet tix were under $5 -

Actually my rarest possession is probably my copy of Mein Kamp, signed by Che and LP -

I forgot about the imaginary Nat Cole - but sorry, Ron, the price has gone up again -

"Historical aside: Flynn's son (Sean, I believe) is mentioned in Michael Herr's incredible Vietnam War journalism book DISPATCHES... he was a photographer who disappeared in Cambodia in 1970 (only recently, I think, have they learned that he and his friend were executed by the Khmer Rouge). Herr's description of Sean Flynn sounds a bit like the characters his father played in movies." and interestingly enough there is a movie (I think it's a TV movie, I saw it a long time ago and cannot remember the name) about Sean in which I think he is played by Kevin Dillon - and as I recall the movie notes that he disappeared, probably killed -

well, no one expects the Spanish Inquisition -

I know exactly what you mean - I'd give up about 10 years of my life just to have heard Bird in person (this is assuming I'm going to live to be 110) - I've been lucky to have heard a few of the greats, though not always in their prime - Dickey Wells, Eddie Durham, Mingus, Earl Warren, Sammy Price, Al Haig, Joe Albany, Roy Eldridge, Chet Baker - but I think we all long for that time machine -

I just picked up the CD issue of the Ralph Burns Studio 5 session - now, I'm a Dave Schildkraut fanatic, which is why I picked it up - though I find the session a LITTLE disappointing, as Burns's writing is very pedestrian on this - on the other hand there's plenty of Schildkraut solo space (on the basis of this session Burns voted for Dave as his favorite alto player for one of Feather's jazz encyclopedias) -another funny story, told to me by Bill Triglia - you may note that Schildkraut is a little out of tune on the session; according to Triglia, Dave was mad at something or someone and deliberately de-tuned his alto. Ah, yes, another great musician determined to go backwards on the career path -

I actually, somewhere in my collection, have an old Goon Show LP -

Markpjazz - I loved Dameronia, thought the band AND Philly Joe sounded just fine -

hey, look, personally I can't get enough of Frank Driggs -

Hey Clem - if you're interested in film - Francis Davis wrote a book about Pauline Kael - (he said, backing away as the tiger approached the large piece of dripping red meat) -

I also have the only known copies of several of MY CDs -

well for a while I did have the ONLY clean copy in the world of Lucille Bogan's unexpurgated version of Shave it Dry - unbelievable record - and I also had an obscene version of Gene Autry singing Bye Bye Blackbird - both came from a private collection -

Gavin McLeod plays Moriarity in Kelly's Heroes, one of my favorite films- takes place in WW II and involves an American squadron (led by Clint Eastwood) stealing German gold from a French bank - and for once McLeod IS off the boat - he plays a guy who repairs tanks -
