still selling mine; look, I'll play 20 bucks plus overnight Fedex shipping if someone takes it off my hands.

reminds me of the Lenny Bruce routine about the junkie jazz musician whom Welk decides to hire.

I am in need of this song, which is downloadbale on UK Amazon (and possibly other euro-Amazons) but is NOT available in the USA; will, of course, reimburse; you can, if possible, email it to me, I hope, as an MP3 thanks -

don't know if anyone is planning to go to Anthony's opera at Roulette; would love to get down, doubt if I can. and I just heard from him (via email) for the first time in about 5 years. Apparently excited and overwhelmed at the size of the project.

even Proper has gotten very good.

to me, it's only not a bootleg if they observe the applicable laws of the country from which it is issued - and as far as I know (from having done reissues for foreign companies) this does require paying into the Euro licensing/publishing fund. And I would be willing to bet that Definitive does not do this; or maybe they do. now, having said that, I am not necessarily condemning them; just defining them.

well I would ask - are they paying the publishing? If not, then these are bootlegs.

agreed; my only other feeble defense is that I have a feeling that most people who patronize bootleg material have also spent enormous amounts on legitimate releases; personally I feel like I have single-handedly supported the American jazz and roots musician (or, really, the recording industry, which is not the same thing except in rare cases like Chuck's) for about 40 years.

yes, this will bring great aural pleasures.

you guys may think I'm kidding: but from the urban dictionary: . "4. Poonono an old vagina often with large muff 35-110."

I dunno; I won't listen on any system named after a woman's private parts.

interesting how Bud-ish Silver is on this one. I almost would have guessed it's Walter Bishop.

I'm with Steve on this - having grown up in a time when certain older music was desparately scarce - if the majors did what they should do and put things out, in consistently good sound and with notes and availablility, this would not happen - and if their excuse is that it is not affordable, then they should not complain when other companies do it. I do realize, as I read this, that there are about 100 holes in my argument.

Sold

gotta raise a little money for the upcoming recording session; this is important stuff (I'll probably end up re-purchasing it at a later date; or maybe will dupe it before it goes out); anyway; 7 cds like new; $100 shipped in the USA - my paypal is alowe5@maine.rr.com email me at allenlowe5@gmail.com

glad he's back; snarky happens; as a matter of fact, before the frontal lobe was removed, I was the king of snark.

Jerry is a wonderful guy; those comments were completely unnecessary and unfair and very petty.

"I was kissing her because she reminded me of you; as a matter of fact YOU remind me of you; everything about you, except you, reminds me of you." "I'm proud to be your son." "Took the words right out of my mouth - I'm ashamed to be your father."

In anticipation of some major changes in my life (like getting the hell out of Maine), I am selling off some of my equipment - this is for the Zoom R16 - yes, lightweight and made out of some kind of plastic, but with a decent pre-amp in front of it you can get pro-level recordings (I recorded about one-third of Blues and the Empirical Truth on this sucker) - records on SD cards, which I have found to be high quality and very reliable; 8 tracks simultaneoulsy, 24 bit. I may have the box, I will look around. Really nice machine and you can't beat the price - $175 plus shipping in the USA; my paypal is alowe5@maine.rr.com will go on ebay if it doesn't go here - so let me know asap my personal email is allenlowe5@gmail.com

it will be interesting to see if he's enough of a 'name'. in this day and age, to really draw any monied interest. I doubt it.

sonny williams; nice guy, gave up the trumpet.

isn't there a Riverside? I used to know a trumpet player who I thought was on a Riverside with Smith.

glad you said that; it's my feeling too. Just crap.

WIld Bill was, as Chuck says, always defensive because of his reputation - but the accident wasn't his fault. btw, serious about selling my Crouch/Bird book.
