Happy Birthday to the guy with the hippest radio show on the air right now! Here’s to as many more birthdays as there are years for your show. Oh yeah, and thanks for making that Grachan Moncur/Jackie McLean show so damn good it made me wanna get the Mosaic Select, ya BASTARD!!!!

Not exactly sure. I thought it was on CBS for quite some time. All of the Charlie Brown specials used to air on CBS for the longest time. The switch was recent, sometime in the last five years, but I don’t remember exactly when or why.

My lovely and wonderful wife and I have taken completely firm stands on this issue. I'll reveal the correct pro.... er, I mean, my side whenever I feel like it!

Does LTB have anything to do with this?

The only Reece I own is Comin' On. I like it okay, but wonder about the other dates. How do they compare to CO?

MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm.........

Can't believe I never heard of that place. Overshadowed by Bill's Records & Tapes perhaps? When did they close down? How far back does your DO collection go?

YES!!!!!!

Have you noticed how Linus puts down his "security blanket" when he recites the words ".... Fear not!..." I've never noticed that; I'll have to check that out! Thanks for pointing that out!

Grachan Moncur Select, thanks to Ghost of Miles’ radio show! May have to order it myself, wrap it, put it under the tree “from Santa!”

To paraphrase a bumper sticker seen often: No Jimmy Smith, No Greeeeeaze Know Jimmy Smith, Know Greeeeeeaze!!!! Thanks for making the world so much more GREEEEEEEAZY!!!!!

I heard “Go, Red, Go” on KNTU and had the whole Keep That Groove Goin’ CD ordered by lunchtime. The rest of the album lived up to its title! That said, these days, it’s getting easier to go from that “one clip” directly to Amazon or some other place that has sound clips, so you’re not really taking too big a chance on music purchases anymore.

Yes, yes, YES!!! Total agreement about the kids singing around the tree! Also love Snoopy’s mocking of Lucy! Or how about when Snoopy does the little kick-dance with his supper dish? I still get choked up when Linus walks over and says, “That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”

And I am not ashamed to say that I dig the Christmas albums by Percy Faith, Johnny Mathis, and Andy Williams.

Last night at the post office, they had some tins that had these caramel-Kisses in them. At the counter, the post-office-lady offered some to me, and kept offering them to me. I hope they don’t get too mad that I damn near cleaned out the tin. Ooooooooooh, they are SO good!!!!!!

Overseas discs mailed today! US discs to be mailed out this Friday! PLEASE let me know when you get your copy. Thanks!

Still haven't received mine.

Drat! Wish I'd known about that disc before I put my Blindfold Test together! B-)

Right on! Right on! Right on!!!!!

You mean like this?

It's all in the timing. Jerk.

Did they really do that?? No, but there was a time in my life when I would've killed for something like that to happen. Now if it happens, I may kill myself!

Still is. As well as the "ducats" guy.

I traded it to get that Merry Styx-mas LP that somehow got misplaced.....

It ain’t Christmas ‘til I dig out the cheesy Christmas music that I’ve loved all my life! I need to get a turntable again so I can transfer my mom’s old Columbia Special Products Christmas LPs that she got at Goodyear onto CD. But for now, these will more than suffice:
