    Note to self, must get my Joe Henderson CDs out
  2. Royal Oak
    Not an album I have on vinyl, but agreed, a motherfucker
  3. Royal Oak
    Around 1/3 the way through Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man".

    That's 11 years old! First time for me though, and made me laff

    Fair enough. Mine's a mono, and it sounds very muffled. I think it's Wilkerson himself which puts me off, I don't play my CD of "Preach Brother" much either. I feel the same when listening to Harold Vick or Houston Person, perhaps. They don't really grab me.

    Oh no, didn't enjoy that at all, album aborted after side 1. Horrible recording. Wilkerson sounds a bit "paper and comb", and Nat Adderley is shrill.

    I have this LP and it doesn't do it for me. I'm going to put it on now

    This came in a job lot of LPs I bought. First spin tonight, smiled throughout listening

    Sonny Stitt AND Liberace, what a pro! That is a cool find.

    I've met BillF a few times. He did show me a picture of ghost of miles on his phone - does that count?

    After a brief wet interlude, it's back to very pleasant summer sunshine here. The fire is now out on Saddleworth moor

    I don't care much for Roy Keane, he's like Geoff Boycott in cricket. What some people consider blunt and refreshing, I feel is just a front for not actually having anything particularly interesting or insightful to say. Anyway, England, it was nice while it lasted.

    It actually rained this evening in Manchester, for about 30 seconds.

    My red Acer palmatum has been dropping odd leaves for a couple of weeks now, which has never happened before. Fortunately, a fairly mature specimen, so I think he'll make it.

    Still shmokin' hot here in Manchester. Still allowed to wear shorts at work, England still in the World Cup. We have entered a parallel universe
  19. Royal Oak
    Well that was stressful. Won't be falling asleep for an hour or two yet.

    I like this album, but the copy I have is a bit "hot" so I don't listen very often. Now listening to:
  21. Royal Oak
    "Recado Bossa Nova" is a shoe-in, surely?
  22. Royal Oak
    A victory for common sense! We've been allowed to wear shorts at work this week too, first time in my 31 years of work. Still boiling in Manchester btw

    Manchester bus drivers complaining at not allowed to wear shorts is now a Manchester Evening News headline.

    Was just about to post that Sidewinder. Sounds fairly grim, described on Manchester Evening News website as the "biggest fire in living memory"
