I have the 45 - got the info from a discography. I wonder if Cuscuna intentionally didn't include it as part of the PJ CD reissue because it's somewhat of an R&B record, or perhaps he didn't know about it. (Unlikely, he's got access to the same discographies we all have).

This was done as part of the session for Teddy Edwards' "Sunset Eyes" (rec. late 1959-early 1960), but not included on the LP. The personnel is Teddy Edwards (ts), Joe Castro (p), Leroy Vinnegar (b), Billy Higgins (d/vo). The original 45 reads: BILLY HIGGINS - Vocal & drums with the TEDDY EDWARDS QUARTET The flip side is "Up In Teddy's New Flat" billed as the Teddy Edwards Quartet. This track is on the LP. "The Sidewinder" was recorded 12/21/63.

These are magnificent records, dear old friends around here. I'm not gonna pick one over the other, but Dexter's version of "I Guess I'll Hang my Tears Out To Dry" is on my (mental) list of all time greatest tracks.

I certainly can't top having seen them in high school, but I did get to see John Fred with his then current Playboys lineup at the New Orleans Jazz Fest in the mid 1980's. As a fan of the Montel & Paula records, I made a point to catch him, having heard that he still had the goods. I was not disappointed!

According to IMDB, he'd had eleven TV and movie roles before "Between the Lines", but at the time, I had never heard of him. Nor had I heard of Kirby, who'd had 15 roles, including "Godfather II", which I had seen. I think it takes a number of appearances before we begin to recognize actors.

Yes.

Back in 1977 a friend of mine who owned a small used record store in Cambridge, MA, was approached by an independent film company who were making a fictional film about a small weekly alternative newspaper in Boston. They liked the quaint look of his store and wanted to know if he would be willing to allow them to film in his store - it was a scene in which the music writer for the paper sells promo LP's to the store. To make a long story short, I and several other friends had the opportunity to be paid extras in the film, although our footage ended up on the cutting room floor. I did stick around to watch the filming of the scene in the store, which involved the owner (my friend, playing himself) and two young actors. One of the actors struck me as somewhat of a horse's ass - full of himself and very "actor-y"; the other was quiet and earnest, and very good in the scene, which typically, was shot several times from several angles. The experience taught me something about how films are made, and interestingly, both of the actors went on to successful careers. They were Jeff Goldblum and Bruno Kirby. The film, btw, was "Between the Lines", which occasionally shows up on TV.

It's happened to me plenty of times. Ce'st la Vie

Couldn't log on earlier - seems to be OK now.
