That's where I am right now, too. I got mine here at work this morning and had time on my lunch break to go home and pop disc one in my Mac and burn the first two discs to my hard drive and convert about 9 tunes to AAC for my iPod. Listening on my computer at work, via the iPod, the quality and volume is limited at best. However, the sessions sound rather adventurous; the first several songs on disc one are very much similar to Dance With Death. The remastering seems to be top notch, but I'll put it to the test on my Bose speakers when I get home later. Also, the Jan. 23, 1970 session was recorded on the same day I was born. How cool is that? The booklet said that Hill originally favored version two of Ochos Rios, but later selected the first version for release. I'm siding with version two; the first version seems to run out of steam towards the end. There is indeed a certain meandering quality inherent in what I've heard, but I don't view that as a big negative. "Monkash" has just started; the strings are grabbing me right off the bat....I'm going to love this one! More later.....

Well in that case I'm 3 1/2 hrs. from Atlanta, and Knoxville has a mid-sized airport with direct flights to several NE US destinations, and is only 15 minutes from here. And not mention being 3 hrs. from Nashville..... We also have major hubs for most major delivery services, including Fed Ex and UPS. It's not like I'm in the middle of frickin' nowhere here, but it sure seems like it with the service I get! Damn, I'm only here for 20 more minutes! I'm tempted to work over just to wait out the delivery man. On second thought, it's Friday......

Over 1,600 miles from Stamford, CT to Texas, and about 750 miles to my location in Tennessee. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the way these places work if they've already delivered to Texas but not to me....Oh well, just my luck......

Still waiting in Tennessee......but of course I don't have much luck with these delivery services, UPS in particular. They tell you something like "it will be delivered between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m." and expect you to have to sit home all day waiting on an package that probably won't arrive the day it's supposed to. I live in an apartment complex and would not dare allow someone to leave my package at the door. That's why it's being delivered to work, which is where I am and patiently waiting. Since we're not open on Saturday, it will probably be Monday or Tuesday for me. But I am holding out some luck, since someone in Texas has had his delivered today. Seems if they can get it from CT to TX, they could surely get it to East TN, which is probably half the distance!
