Heads Up guys! it's Organ Grinder Swing on now! --- Now playing: WKCR - Columbia University

That would be sad unless the programming was lame. Should be room for both. Verrrry lame! I agree with you. We have a major 24/7 classical station in the heart of Dallas. The station that I'm referring to is from the campus of the University of North Texas. --- Now playing: WKCR - Columbia University

Here, our jazz station KNTU (my old stompin' ground) used to have the classical programs on weekends, but I'm seeing that these days it's being pushed out by the jazz programming. Maybe because of demand? --- Now playing: WKCR - Columbia University

Hope there's no ball game for the next coupla days! ; --- Now playing: WKCR - Columbia University)

Thanks Ron - right from the source! --- Now playing: WKCR - Columbia University

They acted like the Legacy CD hadn't been recorded yet. Is this true? "Was scheduled to record a new album later this month with Joey..." or close wording... --- Now playing: WKCR - Columbia University

Yup, that's where my link goes to... --- Now playing: WKCR - Columbia University

OK, so which is it! 1925 or 1928? Rolling Stone is saying '25 (along with Ben Young on air) --- Now playing: WKCR - Columbia University

Yeah, that's OK by me. Giving a bit of background for young initiates. ...but he seems to think that JOS was born in '25. I thought it was '28. --- Now playing: WKCR - Columbia University

Yup 7/4...the obits are starting to trickle in: JS --- Now playing: WKCR - Columbia University

Same here. I'd have to say that it was my mother who introduced me to JS. Couldn't help it really! Kinda born into it really: Smith, Ammons, Adderley, Jamal... so many others were constantly playing in the house, so I couldn't get away from it even if I wanted to! --- Now playing: WKCR - Columbia University

What a shame...another great one leaves us. Who's to take his place?

Thanks! There are some websites out there devoted to Holga photography. It has an indescribable dream-like quality to it's pictures. I don't keep film in it anymore - just bring it out for special "art" projects. rod --- Now playing: Shoji Hano/Werner Lüdi/Peter Brötzmann - Dedicated To

http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/m...politan/3021969 Feb. 3, 2005, 11:41AM Wife accused of giving man lethal sherry enema By RICHARD STEWART Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle LAKE JACKSON - Investigators say a Lake Jackson woman caused her husband's death by giving him a sherry enema, leading to alcohol poisoning. The enema caused his blood alcohol level to soar to 0.47 percent * almost six times the legal intoxication limit, a toxicology report showed. Tammy Jean Warner, 42, was indicted on a charge of negligent homicide. She is also charged with burning the will of her husband, Michael Warner, a month before his death on May 21. Michael Warner, a 58-year-old machine shop owner, had a long history of alcoholism, but couldn't ingest alcohol by mouth because of painful medical problems with his throat, said Lake Jackson police detective Robert Turner. The enema was a way he could become intoxicated without drinking alcohol, Turner said. "I heard of this kind of thing in mortuary school in 1970, but this is the first time I've ever heard of someone actually doing it," Turner said. Turner said police think Warner gave her husband at least two large bottles of sherry, which is stronger than wine, in the enema. "We're not talking about little bottles here," Turner said, "These were at least 1.5 liter bottles." Turner said police don't know if the victim had ever become intoxicated in that manner before the lethal incident. Tammy Warner told police that she found her husband dead in their bed. Turner said she admitted giving him the sherry enema, but not to causing his death. "A person drinking alcohol will usually pass out before getting a lethal dose," Turner said. "But if you're getting it through an enema, you can pass out and still be ingesting more alcohol." Tammy Warner surrendered to Lake Jackson police Monday and was released on $30,000 bond. She could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Neither Turner nor Brazoria County District Attorney Jeri Yenne would comment on the charge related to the will. The indictment said providing him with alcohol and destroying the will constituted a "criminal episode." Although Michael Warner may have agreed initially to the enema as a way to become intoxicated, Yenne said, "he was not a willing participant in something that would cause his death." "He knew that it was very dangerous for him to have any form of alcohol and she knew it was very dangerous for him to have alcohol," Yenne said. The couple's neighbors said they were surprised Wednesday to learn of the indictment. John Criswell, 24, said the widow had mostly been away from the modest brown frame house at the end of the street since her husband died. "She said she was scared to stay there by herself alone," Criswell said. "She said she'd been having trouble with his family." The couple had been married about two years, police said. "She asked me to keep an eye on the place," Criswell said. He said he last saw her about three weeks ago.

I have a question about this picture linked below. This picture appears to have Ayler, Roswell Rudd and Lewis Worrell, a.o. We know of Harold Budd as a pianist, but I've understood that he played drums with Ayler in an Army band. So, is that him on drums are was there more than one Army band that Ayler played in? Budd? thanks, rod
