NOW all the comments make sense! I was in the right neighborhood with Kurtis, at least.

This comment has been keeping me up at night. After repeated listening, it sounds like Bob Gulotti on drums, which suggests a Boston band, but I'm not getting the horn players. *Could* be Kurtis Rivers on alto, but I don't think so.

Alrighty, took longer to get to than I'd hoped. Some stuff new to me on here, but a few bags. One listen, spontaneous commentary, so... sorry. Track 01 - Solitude. Very patient version with solid nods to the composer. Trying to think who does that in the right hand. Tommy Flanagan came to mind but the voicings are wrong. Seat-of-the-pants, I’m going to say Sir Roland Hanna. [just saw a great mini-interview with David Murray where he talks about the importance of using different pianists because piano occupies so much space on a recording. He said [loosely quote]: I’ve fired LOTS of guys. I say it with pride, I’ve fired some of the best. I fired John Hicks, I fired Don Pullen… I fired Roland Hanna.”] Good stuff. I believe this is from this. Track 02 - Not someone I’m overly familiar with. Pretty sure the trumpeter is the vocalist (definitely sounds like a player singing as opposed to a vocalist). It certainly is tight. Not sure how often I’d go to this well, but I appreciate it. Track 03 - First reaction, my gut tells me that’s Big George. Nope. My gut was wrong. Monk tune. One of the few I’ll get by name. Ask Me Now. Believe I read somewhere that when he first recorded it he was asked the title and grunted “Don’t ask me now,” and the “don’t” went unheard. Not sure if that’s true, but I love the story if it is. Feel like I know the player, but it may just be the heavy George Coleman influence. Very fluid, very facile. HUGE Big George influence, but I’ve never heard George do those growls. Most times I struggle on modern interpretations of Monk, but I like this one a lot. Track 04 - Oh yeah, baby. Two beautiful things: Big Ben and a GREAT Ellington ballad, Single Petal of a Rose. This is it This is everything, we can all go home. I’ve got it on this but I know it’s on a couple of anthologies, as well. Man, you’ve got some PIANO players on this BFT! Track 05 - And a GREAT Newk tune — Valse Hot. SUCH a great tune. Something very Herbie about the piano and I’m not sure it fits with the tune. Mmm. Don’t care for where that went on the solos. There’s doing it your own way, but not sure it’s always the best choice. Once we get back to time, I’m liking it more. Not fully loving the tenor. A lot of those conservatory lines that don’t seem to have much to do with the tune (this is where I show I’m really a fussy prick). Second tenor is much more to my liking. First one is all about the notes and the math, but I’m not feeling the story. Second one was all story. Okay, that’s Roy Hargrove. That’s a lot of clues. I may actually have this. I’m guessing first soloist was Branford, doing that thing that drives me nuts about him. I know the album is various tenor players (I definitely have it, but can’t recall the title). Too lazy to go look. Can’t remember the other guy, but like I said, iirc, it’s shifting personnel throughout. Track 06 - Sounds like Joe Lovano. Song is familiar but it’s eluding me. Weird arrangement. Definitely Joe. I don’t always line-up with JL, but this one works. Friggin’ song is going to drive me nuts — I KNOW this. No. Did he just quote Donna Lee? Is that the friggin’ song!? GAH! Track 07 - Ooooo! Rhodes less travelled. Oh, that’s familiar. Joe Henderson on tenor. Joe fools nobody. Took a bit, but it’s the title track from this. Track 08 - Lotta Coltrane there. Ah, yes — that’s Jerry Bergonzi. What is that friggin’ song? It’s Brubeck, right? [Love that video of JB with DB at the vineyard; heard some horror stories about that gig, but it’s a good video] Not sure on those busy-ass drums, but could be Tain. I don’t always love the stuff so directly out of Coltrane, but when Jerry is on, he’s ON. He’s on, here. Track 09 - Fields of Gold? No. Now it sounds like Danny Boy. Nope. Now it sounds like Ry Cooder. No idea what this is. Seems to be hitting lots of ‘ish’ pieces of various songs. Or, perhaps I’m f****d. Track 10 - Love that bass. Thought this was going in a different direction. At first, felt very Johnny Dyani, but then turns more toward a Manfred Eicher feel, then moves to 80s Jazz. At first I was thinking Chico Freeman on the tenor, now I’m leaning more towards a less-specific post-Coltrane voice. Sure sounds like Brad Meldau on piano (so that narrows nothing down). Good tune. Track 11 - Feeling like this might be a ringer. Any chance this is an unreleased Chris Klaxton thing? Not completely sold that it’s him, but not completely discouraged from the guess, either. Sounds like his writing to me. Track 12 - Loved the 12/8 intro but it went somewhere I wasn’t expecting. Goes where I’m not expecting, but touches on some strange places that mostly make me happy. A bit pedantic just shy of the 1 minute mark, but overall, really liking what it’s doing. As it goes on, the only thing I’m sure of is I have no concept who this is. Almost sounds like Ekaya, but it’s too spread out. Can’t place the bari and that’s pissing me off. That bouncing call between the horns is the only thing not really grabbing me. The rest of it is a bop. Thanks for mixing in a few ringers along with the moments of abject torture where I had no idea.

Yeah, I got into that period about five years ago when I heard some of his more recent stuff. Went on a binge and bought Metal Blossoms, these two, and a couple of other things that were floating around, and worked my way back to Mangelsdorff (whom I LOVE). It's been a nice ride. His work with Terumasa Hino was very interesting, as well. Happy to help spend your money, my brother!

Welcome aboard, Cap'n!

My process for programming a BFT usually involves making a list throughout the year. As most of my listening time is on my commute these days, this year proved a bit challenging. On the upside, I’ve started making more time to just sit and listen, which has been missing. On the downside, a lot of this test was assembled on the fly, late last month. The occurrences of slight duplication of personnel were unintentional, but are probably the only thing holding this test together. Incidentally, the two cuts with Dennis Gonzalez were chosen long before he agreed to do last month’s test. #serendipity 01-Weird Nightmare (Charles Mingus) - Mingus Big Band featuring Ku-Umba Frank Lacy - (2014) Mingus Sings https://www.discogs.com/Ku-Umba-Frank-Lacy-Mingus-Big-Band-Mingus-Sings/release/7139917 Arranged by Sy Johnson; Frank Lacy - vocals; Alex Norris, Jack Walrath, Lew Soloff - trumpet; Coleman Hughes, Conrad Herwig, Earl McIntyre - trombone; Abraham Burton, Brandon Wright, Craig Handy, Wayne Escoffery - tenor saxophone; Alex Foster - alto & soprano saxophones, flute, clarinet; Ronnie Cuber - baritone saxophone; David Kikosk i- piano; Boris Koslov - bass; Donald Edwards - drums First time I heard this was in college, with Elvis Costello doing the lyrics. It was a well-intentioned, pretty awful record of Mingus’ music done by unexpected people. I’ve seen Ku-Umba sing on multiple occasions live, and it was ALWAYS better than it is on this record. It is what it is. 02-The Sorrow of Guernica (Pinkish Black & Yells At Eels) - Pinkish Black & Yells At Eels - (2019) Vanishing Light in the Tunnel of Dreams https://www.discogs.com/Dennis-Gonz%C3%A1lez-Yells-At-Eels-Pinkish-Black-Vanishing-Light-In-The-Tunnel-Of-Dreams/release/15378720 Dennis Gonzalez - trumpet; Daron Beck - keys; Aaron Gonzalez - bass, electric bass, voice; Stefan Gonzalez - drums, percussion, marimba; Jon Teague - drums, synthesizer Dennis was kind enough to speak to one of my classes, and as we were chatting beforehand (via Google Meet) he mentioned this project. I’m a fan, and have quite a DG collection, so this was a no-brainer. Dennis does not sit idle, he is constantly evolving. Purists may be put off by that, but every conversation I’ve ever had with the man has been an encapsulated education. 03-African Drums (Beaver Harris) - David S. Ware Quartet - (1999) Surrendered https://www.discogs.com/David-S-Ware-Surrendered/release/1150289 David S. Ware - tenor saxophone; Matthew Shipp - piano; William Parker - bass; Guillermo E. Brown - drums My friend Ken Eisen played this on his radio show the first time I heard it. I broke out in a cold sweat. The same thing happens every time I hear this song (and I always play it back-to-back with itself). I know Ware and Shipp can be polarizing, but to my ear, this is everything. The energy in this recording, as well as the musicianship, are terrifyingly beautiful. 04-Little Melonae (Jackie McLean) - Frank Lowe Trio - (1997) Vision Blue https://www.discogs.com/Frank-Lowe-Trio-Vision-Blue/release/6420976 Frank Lowe - tenor saxophone; Steve Neil - bass; Anders Griffen - drums From the CIMP heyday. Bob Heroux, a late friend of my family, once described Frank Lowe’s playing as, “very thoughtful”. It’s the perfect description. Frank is so unique, and so absent any bullshit in his playing that I just love him. He did a few of the records around this time, all shorter songs, all understated. Very glad I got to see him with Billy Bang before he left this plane. One of the REAL cats. 05-Lush Life (Billy Strayhorn) - Heinz Sauer/Michael Wollny - (2005) Certain Beauty https://www.discogs.com/Heinz-Sauer-Michael-Wollny-Certain-Beauty/release/3379204 Heinz Sauer - tenor saxophone; Michael Wollny - keys I’ve played another cut from this record on a previous BFT, Prince’s Nothing Compares 2 U. I first came to Heinz as a sideman in George Adams’ band, and I didn’t appreciate him right away. I heard him, initially, as watered-down Shepp. Later, when I came across the Prince cover, I developed a new ear and a newfound respect for his playing. He’s not Kansas City, but he’s an interesting and serious player. A lot of this record pushes my boundaries due to the synth, but I keep going back to it. Also, he STILL reminds me of Shepp. 06-Hello Little Girl (Kemp/Ellington) - The Duke Ellington Orchestra featuring Jimmy Rushing - (1959) Ellington Jazz Party https://www.discogs.com/Duke-Ellington-And-His-Orchestra-Ellington-Jazz-Party/release/2621384 Jimmy Rushing - vocals; Andres Ford, Cat anderson, Clark Terry, Dizzy Gillespie (soloist), Shorty Baker, Ray Nance - trumpet; Britt Woodman, John Sanders, Quentin Jackson - trombone; Johnny Hodges, Russell Procope - alto saxophone; Paul Gonzalves - tenor saxophone; Jimmy Hamilton - tenor saxophone, clarinet; Harry Carney - baritone saxophone; Jimmy Jones - piano; Jimmy Woode - bass; Sam Woodyard - drums; Arranged & conducted by Duke Ellington This was the gimme on this test, but MAN! What a bitch this is! I wish Jimmy’d spent his whole career with Duke. Hearing him go up against the mighty Ellington cast, THIS is what it’s all about, baby! Just a 12-bar blues, but absolutely on fire! If this doesn’t move you, pull the dirt over you, because you’re gone. And, oh yeah, that trumpet player isn’t half bad, either. 07-My Old Flame (Sam Coslow) - J.R. Monterose Quartet - (1979) Welcome Back J.R.! https://www.discogs.com/J-R-Monterose-Quartet-Welcome-Back-JR-/release/2835233 J.R. Monterose - tenor saxophone; Hod O’Brien - piano Teddy Kotick - bass; Jimmy Wormworth - drums Let’s be honest, this album is all about the cover. Later re-issued as Lush Life. J.R. is another guy I was slow to come to, but as I age, he really speaks to me (though, more his earlier work, but this album is still a nice piece of my collection). This was an eBay score from Japan. The one thing I’ve always admired about J.R. is that he’s completely himself, always. This record is no exception. I recall reading that he kicked his heroin addiction cold turkey, alone, because he knew if he’d gotten help, he’d go back to it. That says a lot about who he is and that came across in his playing. 08-First Take (Richard Gardzina) - Richard Gardzina - (1998) Play This https://www.allmusic.com/album/play-this-mw0000693064 Richard Gardzina - tenor saxophone; Steve Aubert - piano; Roger Kimball - bass; David Berman - drums Richard was my most influential private teacher. Truly a great guy and a wonderful musician. This track is the class of this record, and it showcases what I love about his playing so well. You can hear his influences, but he always stays true to himself. In addition to being a terrific musican and teacher, he’s an absolutely quality human being. I swear I’ve included this cut before, but a search of the BFT thread does not turn it up. 09-Camel (Dennis Gonzalez) - Alvin Fielder Trio - (2007) A Measure of Vision https://www.discogs.com/Alvin-Fielder-Trio-A-Measure-Of-Vision/release/2428973 Dennis Gonzalez - trumpet; Chris Parker - piano; Aaron Gonzalez - bass; Alvin Fielder - drums I first heard Dennis play this song in person with Rodriguo Amado and Yells At Eels. It blew me away then, and continues to do so. The live version was *so* intense. Later I asked Dennis for a copy of the chart, which he sent. When covering this tune, the drummer on the session said, “Man, it’s just so *greasy*!” I’m not sure if that was Dennis’ intent, but that’s what I love about playing this song — you can just get *so* nasty! 10-Little Sunflower (for Roy Hargrove) (Freddie Hubbard) - The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble - (2019) Be Known: Ancient / Future / https://www.discogs.com/Ethnic-Heritage-Ensemble-Be-Known-Ancient-Future-Music/release/13815484 Corey Wilkes - trumpet; Alex Harding - baritone saxophone; Ian Maksin - cello; Kahil El’Zabar - drums, percussion Finally got to see Kahil (w/David Murray) last spring. My word. Epic. I love what it is that he does. Don’t know what to call it, don’t care — I love it. Thanks to Tim Webb for convincing me to give this album a try. I had seen some videos from their tour, and they didn’t do what I’d hope they would. Not sure if it was the recordings, or just a couple of off nights, but THIS is what I was expecting. LOVE Alex Harding. THE man on the big horn, at the moment. This is not the best track on the album, but I was tryiing to be time conscious (particularly where there were already several other long tracks). 11-Stay Informed (Heinz Sauer) - George Adams - (1979) Sound Suggestions https://www.discogs.com/George-Adams-Sound-Suggestions/release/1617414 George Adams, Heinz Sauer - tenor saxophone; Kenny Wheeler - trumpet; Richie Beirach - piano; Dave Holland - bass; Jack DeJohnette - drums This has always been my favorite George Adams record. I played the death out of my original copy. I was playing for a friend who would go on to be a very well known pro (when I was about 14). We were at his house and I had him put on this track. He was looking at the liners and said during George’s mercurial solo, “Dude, that’s Heinz!” showing me the album jacket. It was not. His speakers were wired incorrectly left-right. I took a deep breath (he was five years older than me, and we had this music in common, so I didn’t want to tread heavily) and said, “no, the jacket is wrong.” I didn’t want to suggest that he had wired his speakers wrong (though, in fact, he had). Anyway, I was slow to appreciate what Heinz does on this recording, particularly where I was SUCH a huge George Adams fan as a kid. It’s not George at his most tasteful, but he definitely claims his territory here, and I love it. This album was also my introduction to Kenny Wheeler. It was years (decades?) before I actually heard Deer Wan, but to me, this album and that go hand-to-hand (see what I did there?). 12- Song For Pharaoh (Ronnie Cuber) - Ronnie Cuber - (1993) The Scene Is Clean https://www.discogs.com/Ronnie-Cuber-The-Scene-Is-Clean/release/10130260 Ronnie Cuber - baritone saxophone; Georg Wadenius - guitar; Geoff Keezer - keys; Reggie Washington - bass; Victor Jones - drums; Manolo Badrena, Milton Cardona - percussion I didn’t have a lot of Cuber in my collection, but I got turned onto this via a Facebook post (probably by Tim Price). There is nothing I don’t love about this track. It just works on every level, and is an absolute earworm. Go ahead, try to make it through your day after this without humming it — it can’t be done. Hope you found something to make your ears smile.

Or, you know, not copying because you're on it.

Copying to the reveal thread.

The suspenseful build-up has ended. Dennis sent me the answers as he still is unable to get in. Maybe we can do a group effort to post the personnel? 1. Griot Galaxy – Kins – “Xy-moch” 2. Robin Kenyatta – Girl from Martinique – “Blues for Your Mama” 3. Elton Dean – Boundaries – “Fast News” 4. John Abercrombie – Arcade – “Nightlake” 5. Oliver Lake Big Band – Wheels – “Is It Real” 6. Paul Motian – Tribute – “Victoria” 7. Amina Claudine Myers – Sama Rou – “Call To Prayer” 8. Edward Vesala – Satu – “Ballade for San” 9. Art Lande – Rubisa Patrol – “A Monk in His Simple Room” 1 0. Jan Garbarek – Runes – “I Took Up the Runes” 11. Arild Andersen – Sagn – “Lussi” 12. Charles Brackeen – Bannar – “Stone Blue”

Glad to hear it. Spot on. This one is going to surprise some people. This one is a must have. That's this guy. I kind of figured that would happen. I missed it when I searched the thread for the song, but I do remember it (because I had decided to use it and scrubbed that choice). No matter -- never a wrong time for Ellington. Yes, you do want to know. Jim ID'd it. I'm glad to bring people something new, but I wish more people were aware of this guy. Likely not. Agreed. You'll be pleased. Bang on! Could be and is. Glad to hear it.

Yep. ID'd by JSangry. This one is a personal favorite, but I don't expect anyone to get it. Agreed. A great tune, masterful in it's simplicity. I'm a big fan of this trumpeter. These guys are currently where it's at, IMHO. You're not wrong about the trumpeter. This has been ID'd. A few have found this a bit too poppy, and ordinarily, I would agree. But this one is such an earworm that I can't NOT love it.

I've reached out, but not heard back. Does not seem to be online much recently. Hoping everything is okay.

Ding! Ding! Agreed. I came slowly to Heinz, always preferring George (Remember, I was probably 13 when I bought this). But, over time, I really came to appreciate him.

You definitely KNOW the player. In fact, I'd guess this is a player you really appreciate.

Got to see him twice last spring. Man... life changing. I can't say much without giving it away.

Mmmm... you may have your chronology flipped.

Shepp was the guess I was hoping to get. That's a BIG clue.

Correct! Not sure, yet. I think it will, but this track had the best of all (shorter length, good feel). Correct! Flight of i is still my favorite album, though. Right ballpark, wrong composer. ID'd by mjzee. I'm kind of hoping to get a wrong guess on this one. Indeed. You just described this player perfectly, in my mind. Agreed. Right there with you, my brother. You should. Not Bluiett, but this guy would be flattered by the comp, but also has very much his own thing. Give it another spin. I'll be surprised if you don't own this. I agree about what has happened to the guitar sound -- give me Grant Green! You have nailed everything about this except what it is. And you're more right than you can fathom. Correct! ID'd above. This one is the challenge of the group. They are, but also being true to themselves. This group doesn't get any respect from the Crouch-follower-set, and I always took this cut as a slight FU to the doubters. Tune is correct. Description of the format is accurate, and a key to what this is and how it came about. This saxophonist is an acquired taste due to his approach. I assume someone will get this player, if only because nobody's taken the bait and guessed incorrectly. Ding! Ding! This is the recording that introduced me to Jimmy Jones. Recognizing JJ is what led to me becoming a regular in these parts. Not Duke (though he undoubtedly had it in his repertoire). Not Ricky or Scott. I assure you, this tenor player would LOVE the comparison to George. Definitely stays within himself, though (something George could NOT do). Great song, not the best version I've heard, but it is the best version I have recorded. A wicked ear-worm, though.

Not opposed to it, but I've never had any spoilers -- I just look at the first post. But I'm open to it moving forward (discussion has already started on this one). Yes, you do. Correct, sir! This is the gimme (although, JJ is only a gimme for the insiders). Correct! Indeed you do! True. Has the language, but it's not the one he uses to communicate. Must not have. Yep! I'd label this guy more original than that, but this track definitely goes more Trane than he usually does (but manages to still be THIS guy). DING! DING! DING! DING! Wow! BIG fan of this "singer". I'll be surprised if anyone pegs this one. Yeah, that's how I hear it, too. Almost like he's dancing to the beat of a different drummer, no? Wanted a different take on this classic. Most players ID'd -- rest of it (title, album) are still up for grabs. Correct!

Well, it's unorthodox, but I'm going to go ahead an post the thread for July. I will get the answer for the June test and post them as soon as possible. For now, http://thomkeith.net/index.php/blindfold-tests/

Now that just makes so much sense.

When we recruited him, I didn't realize he didn't have a login (I had chatted with him on AAJ and mixed that up with here thinking he was onboard). Getting new accounts is very controlled here because, as I understand it, Jim has concerns about spam (which I can appreciate). Dennis has requested a login. Thanks. Back atcha and welcome to the thread. Good to have new blood contributing on all levels.

FYI, Dennis doesn't have an account and I had to do some sleuthing to determine how to get him one. I think we're on the right track, but time will tell. We're working on it.

Finally getting to this. Egad. Track 01 — Instant recognition. Going to take me awhile. I definitely have this. Thinking Griot Galaxy. Can’t peg the tune, though. Yeah, this is GG (always loved this cover). Kins is the album, but again, can’t recall the song title. Track 02 — Love the feel of this. Not entirely loving the alto, but love what they’re setting up there. On the whole, this is a win. Yeah, now he’s digging in, I’m buying. This MUST be good because my wife is frowning! Track 03 — The abstract stuff like this doesn’t always hit the right nerve with me, but I’m all over this. Not 100% who this is, but that’s definitely Louis Moholo on drums. Night music. I mean, to my ear, this sounds like a lot of YOUR projects. It isn’t, though — I’m unlikely to miss on those. Soprano reminds me a bit of Thomas Chapin, but this sounds a shade before him to me. Track 04 — I struggle with this type of guitar sound, as a rule, but really like this. Can’t quite peg the feel I’m getting, but it’s similar to something in my collection, though I don’t have this. And, we all know I can’t resist anything in three. Love those tumbling drums. Has that feel of the best side of ECM. In fact, that sounds like Richie Beirach to me. Playing this sort of thing would make me very happy (are you listening, Tim Webb!?!). This is such a overall conversation. Much to like here. That bass tone is beautiful. Even the laptop speakers can’t hide that. Ah! That’s the feel. Reminds me of one of Heinz Sauer’s albums, Metal Blossoms. No wonder I like it. Track 05 — Wow. What’s not to love, here? I love the almost flamenco sound of the guitar. Even though it’s wondering and doesn’t seem to have a determined direction, I’m really enjoying the path. Again, great bass tone (why would ANYEONE prefer electric!?). Not a candidate for the car mix, but again… night music. Track 06 — Almost feels like a Charlie Kohlhase project to me. That alto seems a bit too mainstream, though. At times I feel like I know him, and at times, he seems completely unknown. It’s odd. I’m at the trombone, now. Not completely onboard, but I’m wanting to get there. Kinda feel like I want to recast this (like, I REALLY want Craig Harris right here!). Different alto? Chaos! Love it! I like that the drums stayed with that pattern as things got chaotic — kind of held it together for me. Weird. I’m half here, but I’m pissed off that I can’t get anybody nailed down. Track 07 — I know this. Ah, yes. Opener from this. Track 08 — Hearing a bunch of different songs, but this is none of them. Something almost Gato-ish about the tenor. I could do without that 80s electronic sound, but at the same time, it works in the mix. Just not sure how often I’d go back to this. Kind of losing me in the effects, but that’s probably more me than anything to do with the music. If there’s a power outage, though, this band is in trouble. Track 09 — All in. I want to guess Kenny Wheeler, but it’s not quite him. But it’s that quality that I like about this. Something about the progression in the piano feel like it’s coming from a religious/spiritual base, though the song itself doesn’t give me that. Man, you can pick some bass for me to love. One thing that’s really getting me about this BFT is the songs are all short-ish, and yet still feel complete. Definitely has that European influence (ECM-ish). There is something very honest about this. It skirts the J-word, but it’s not that. It’s something else, and I want more of it, in the right mood. Track 10 — I was in love prior to the saxophone. Horn feels a little too smooth-jazz for me. Love the feel they set up prior to that, though. It’s a great platform to build off of, but those trills aren’t doing it for me. This feels like a lost opportunity. What it sets up in the first two minutes never really gets realized, then it seems to run out of steam. I want something ballsier to happen. Maceo! Track 11 — I feel like I’m judging this too harshly due to my prediliction against electronica and/or “smooth” jazz. This feels a bit more real than the latter, but a bit to steeped in the former. I just can’t get my ears around it. Feels more like experimentation than a complete song. Track 12 — AHA!!!!! That’s my man Charles Brackeen! Whomever put these sessions together has a special place in my heart. Stone Blue from this. Not a moment I *don’t* love on this album. Frankly, I feel that way about all three of Charles’ Silkheart dates. Malachi is SUCH a *bitch* on this! In the words of Nathan Breedlove: Love! Love! Thanks, Dennis! You brought me Christmas with that last cut. Just noticing Dennis hasn't commented, I'll reach out.

I don't want to step on the May test, but Dennis asked me to start this thread for him, and I'm unlikely to have a chance tomorrow. Link is in the usual place, which is to say http://thomkeith.net/index.php/blindfold-tests/
