Big Al

I'm listenin' right now and LOVIN' IT!!!! Great stuff, chuckyd! Blakey's "Night in Tunisia" is blarin' right now! This is so baaaaaaaaaaad I went & finally used my BMG points and ordered it! I wonder if the rest of this disc is just as sweet!

CD Universe has the following Fleetwood Mac remasters available for pre-order, being released March 23: Fleetwood Mac Rumours Tusk I've never been too big a fan of the first two, but Tusk has always had a special place in my heart, as I've always enjoyed the work of Lindsey Buckingham, and this seems more like an extended solo album of his than anything else. It, like another favorite double album (XTC's English Settlement) has a feel of being a work-in-process, rough and unfinished, without the polish that came immediately before and after. Plus, I've never liked it that the current CD only has the edited version of "Sara" on it. (that's another thing: I usually don't care for Stevie Nicks; however, I think her strongest songs are on this album). As if the RVGs and LPRs weren't eating away at my wallet........ (plus Byrd/Adams at the Half Note comes out that day, too! SHEESH!)

Well, so much for waiting for an RVG of this one!

Me & the fambly are hittin' the road for a trip to Austin and I'm looking for something we can all listen to on the drive down & back. We've got the old Cosby tapes, but I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions of humor on tape/CD. (Bear in mind the kids are 8 and 17, so tastes may vary. A lot!) Thanks as always!

This weekend, my friend!!! This weekend! Gonna get Goin' West, Sweet Honey Bee, and ESPECIALLY Right Now! Been waitin' a long time for that one!

Man..... a sea of Pisces around here!

I'm glad you guys dig RFF and are happy to see it's release! I have a burn of the Conn, and it's done nothing for me the times I've listened to it. I'll give it some more spins, though; eventually I'll probably end up diggin' it!

Was he ever here? I'm pretty sure he's never posted here, and the board's been all the better for it.

Happy Birthday Al! I forget, which one of us is older?

I would've thought track 3 was from this, but I only say that because: a) there's nothing quite as distinctive as this guy's sound and B) I'm pretty sure it isn't from any of his other BN output. I think! As for the rest, I'm stumped, meaning not only do I not know any of the answers, but I can't even come up with any ideas as to who they might be. So I'm looking forward to the answers again. Disc two woke me up on the way to work. That's the way to start a day!

Got mine yesterday! Thanks again!

Ohhh YEAH that one is unbelievably greeeeeeazy!!! "Theme from Electric Surfboard" and "It's All a Joke" are ten minutes of pure Memphis-fried soul! Gotta love that cover, too!

DAMN!!! I was so hoping that you guys would tell me it's a waste of money!

Late to the party as always, but nonethelass: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Thanks for hosting the best damn jazz board ever and as always, for KEEPIN' IT GREEEEEAZY!!!

Speaking of Coumbia, what's the difference between Decca Basie and Columbia Basie?

The pricetag seems kinda hefty for a 3-dvd set, but my memories of this show tell me that this was one of the funniest shows on TV, far ahead of its time. Any thoughts?

I voted for #4, with #3 as a very close second.

Drat! I'm up in Dallas! Hey, if I think I can get down there in time, I'll be there. Otherwise, I'll have to hear about it from the Austinites!

Yeah, I hope you stick around, too! I always enjoy your posts!

Alriiiiiight!!!!! Congratulations old man!!!!

Could someone point me to the thread that details Johnny’s band’s gig in Austin in April?

Daaaaaaaaaaamn right, my brotha!!! I raise yet ANOTHER beer your way, and spin Blues for Lou in yer honor!

......I'd never do such a thing! Okay, enough padding. More cake for everyone!

Lest any of you think I'm handing out "thank-you's" as a way of padding my thread count and making my birthday thread longer than usu-AL.......

Takin' it eazy my greeeeazy bro!
