He's like, REAL gone! :eye: As soon as I posted that, I just knew some wise-ass would come along and make that kind of joke.

Elvin's GONE.

GONE.

Erik--livin' life on the razor's edge! (i.e., cuttin' it close)

You're referring to Leslie's cooking?

What??? You don't put me in the LOVE category?

I have also. My Charlie Christian CDs were gunked up right out of the box. What an incredibly stupid design.

I believe so, but don't hold me accountable if it doesn't.

Really? That's great! Did you have the same problem? When I first got the box, there was foam gunk on all of the discs, and 1 or 2 of them wouldn't play. I insisted that they replace all 4 of them, which they did. When you call the 800 number, they'll take all your information, and then send you a prepaid mailing label. You'll mail them the discs only (not the box or booklet), and they'll send you 4 brand-new discs.

Call Sony customer service at the 800 number in the back of the booklet that came with the set. Sony will replace the discs. They did it for me.

I got it. I like it.

Yeah, right. It's from my daughter's school. Your daughter goes to school at the Philadelphia Country Club???? You got a problem with that?

Yeah, right. It's from my daughter's school.

Tuesday night at North By Northwest: Where's Mark Sheldon when you need him???

Practicing some new wet-finger-on-wine-glass tunes with my daughter: Look for extensive use of these on the next CD.

Randy hangin' with the Burghers of Calais: Yes, they are also Sun Ra fans.

In front of the Rodin Museum: They tried working as a quartet, but that other guy's playing was a bit too cerebral.

Randy in front of the Sun Ra house, after auditioning for the Arketsra: "Don't call us, we'll call you."

You should come visit him in January and see the shows too!

Right after Colonel Mustard in the Billiard Room.

:tup How 'bout ALL his co-workers?

Show starts around 11PM. The "warm-up" band is a local jazz-funk group called Dr. Ketchup (info and sound samples here). Should be a wild and crazy--and FUN--night. DON'T MISS IT!

Elvin Jones now shows up in "Last Chance". But it also still shows up in "Running Low". So, who knows?

After a very successful Philly debut at Chris' Jazz Cafe last Wednesday, our Triumphant Trio appears tomorrow (Tuesday) evening at North By Northwest in the Mt. Airy section of Philly. The show starts at 8pm, so no lame "it's-past-my-bedtime-and-I-gotta-be-up-early-the-next-morning" excuses will be accepted! North By Northwest is in the northwest part of Philly (Duh!), and so is conveniently located for those of you in the northern and western suburbs (don't make me start namin' names ). A terrific time is guaranteed. So who else will be there?

What they said.
