  6. Including the Chinese Waiter bit? (It's Bobby, not Buddy - I'm sure that's what you meant).

  8. http://www.middletownjournal.com/n/content...t_Lockwood.html Robert Lockwood Jr., a pioneering Mississippi Delta blues guitarist and singer who forged a career in Cleveland, has died, a hospital spokesman said. He was 91. Lockwood died of respiratory failure at University Hospitals Case Medical Center at 5 p.m. Tuesday, said spokesman George Stamatis. He had been a patient since suffering a stroke on Nov. 3. Lockwood was born in Turkey Scratch, Ark. At 11, he started guitar lessons with legendary bluesman Robert Johnson, who briefly moved in with Lockwood's mother. "He never showed me nothing two times," Lockwood said in a 2005 interview with The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer newspaper. "After I got the foundation of the way he played, everything was easy." Lockwood worked on street corners and in bars and became a musical mentor to B.B. King, who listened to Lockwood in the 1940s on the "King Biscuit Time" radio show broadcast from Helena, Ark. Lockwood moved to Chicago in the 1950s and was a session player on records by Little Walter, Sunnyland Slim, Roosevelt Sykes and other blues musicians. He branched out from the delta-style blues to jump blues, jazz and funk. In 1960, he moved to Cleveland and played in blues clubs for decades. As a solo performer, Lockwood earned Grammy nominations for two albums: 1998's "I Got to Find Me a Woman" and 2000's "Delta Crossroads."
  9. FWIW, the label was pleased enough with the Down Beat review of Trombones, Inc, that they redesigned the jacket, highlighting the rave review on the front cover (4 or 5 stars, can't remember). I agree with Chuck that the only valuable reviews are the ones with which we agree, and one has to know a reviewer to have any sense whether his review has any value. Some of my favorite records have been panned, and I've heard some dogs that got high reviews. It's all pretty meaningless, ultimately. I stopped paying attention to reviews a long time ago. I know what I like, and, with all modesty, I know more than most reviewers, so their opinions are of little value to me.

  12. You made them up! (Where's the smiley with an accusing finger gone?) The first two are real, as any Superman fan will tell you. The third one, I don't know
  13. I love the Trombones, Inc record, especially the west coast side. Frank Rosolino steals it. Great arrangements by Marty Paich & JJ Johnson. The Saxes Inc looks good on paper, but has never completely hung together for me.

  16. More accurately, "weizen" would be pronounced "veitz-en" - the z is pronounced as if it were tz. I knew those four years of German I took would come in handy some day.

  23. I watched the 60 Minutes tribute, and could easily have watched another hour. A moving tribute to a real pro.
  24. What he said. The opportunity to hear Sam with this band - priceless.
