"I owe you love"... but baby... once I've given it to you... I'M ENTITLED TO YOU!!

Is that on CD, vinyl, or... shell-ac?

Fwiw, there was also a Japanese (Pony Canyon / PCCY 3XXXX) series of Muse / 32 jazz releases. In fact, the one I have (Kenny Burrell's LISTEN TO THE DAWN, released in 2001) was never released on CD in the U.S. I couldn't find a list of the Japanese issues, and I'm wondering whether they were mainly "Japan only" like my Burrell CD...

Details, details (but that's our job, right? ) So, you mean to tell me if Buddy Bolden recorded it, but it isn't going to be released until 2007 (when Uptown gets ahold of it), then he still wouldn't get credit for being the first... ? I'm so confused. That's what kept me awake last night! People probably wondered if it had something to do with the telephone...

Yeah, but we gots brownie! (confirming the date). The question is, when did Jerri W cut her side.... I hope I'll be able to sleep tonight...

Interesting... I'm having trouble finding definitive-looking data, but it appears possible that Jackie & Roy recorded it (with Kessel, Mitchell and Manne) in May of 1955 (released on CD by Black Lion in the 80's... but originally released on LP on... Storyville? Anybody know if those were the same recordings?). The Winters album is dated "11/55" in the online Fraternity discog (http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:9UdjGo...k&cd=3&ie=UTF-8), but I don't know if that's a recording date (not disputing the accuracy of the claim in the blog, just curious if Jackie & Roy could have done it first). Anyway, it looks like Irene's version was a couple of years later.

I don't exactly know the answer to that, but I have about 15 versions, and the earliest happens to be a vocal version- Irene Kral with Buddy Collette, circa 1957 (from "The Buddy Collette Quintet" on Studio West). Next earliest in my collection is Sarah's recording for Roulette in '62.

More info? (web address, title, label ?) I never heard of this either, but it's intriguing... 1961 would be a nice vintage.

February was a bitch. And even going back to January, it seems like somebody was always sidelined, or forced to play hurt. Playing without Baron lately has been an adventure. But, the bottom line is... FREE THROWS!!!!!!!!! I can't give you the stats, but the W's have literally given away about 10 games at the charity stripe. I couldn't believe my eyes when we were making them down the stretch in the win against Orlando the other night. W's / Lakers tonight! Watch out, SS1, the W's are on a roll (they won a game Wednesday ).

I'm sure there are a variety of reasons why some don't look at the "Name Three People" thread. I have no problem with that, with some not liking games, or with it being popular among only a relatively small group of members. But after reading some of the comments here, I thought I'd mention a few things. It's just a game, just for fun/challenge/humor/improvisation/etc, and there's no "insider" quality to it, and absolutely no need to have gotten in on the ground floor (in fact, some of the most active players lately have been a couple of brand new members). Post #1 explained it, and after that it's been a free for all. It's basically "new" all the time (baked fresh daily? ), so anybody can jump in (or out) anytime. End of spam.

Quite understandable, brownie. At least we have the beautiful game to talk about!

I got a chance to see more of the England / Uruguay match this evening as it was replayed on FSC. For a "friendly", it sure got testy toward the end. I have to give the referee poor marks for not only allowing too much pushing and shoving to go unchecked, but actually participating himself (repeatedly pushing a few Uruguayan players himself). They probably deserved it, but I think it's bad form for a ref to be pushing players in the chest. Use your cards to enforce your power.
