My wife had 15 days of full brain radiation in August and that was one of the side effects....that shit freaked me out like I can't even begin to describe and I can feel empathy for your pal. I'd follow Allen's advice on the SS thing and ring up the local congressional district office and get a caseworker on the phone. They live & breathe that stuff.

Oh no! You don't meticulously organize all the shelves in the fridge and place the bacon next to the carrots next to the cauliflower next to the chives...... do ya?

I'm sure you file yours by corporate entity. I'd be curious which manufacturing country is positioned first within this system. Well, I do try to bunch the Mosaics together which I guess would qualify as a corporate entity violation in your book, but quite honestly they aren't in any specific order...nor are the others. I just stick 'em in the stax willy nilly and pluck 'em out at random. The organization thing has never been my bag. If you don't believe it, feel free to stage a spur of the moment drop by next time you're in the area. Sure hope you won't think of me as an unorderly, unpure troglodite and try to have me expelled from the music appreciation club.

Dang! ....even hassling 16 year old girls! A "reputation for civility" and tolerance out there, huh? Must be something in the water. D.C. Fans Endure Slings and Arrows Of Seattle Crowd Loss Cuts Deep for Those Who Traveled Far By Nick Miroff Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, January 6, 2008; Page A06 SEATTLE, Jan. 5 -- When the Seattle Seahawks scored their last touchdown last night, it was so loud at Qwest Field that the bitter words of Nick Gamache were buried under an avalanche of noise. The Seahawks had run up the score to 35-14 with another interception return for a touchdown, and Gamache, a Raleigh, N.C., resident who grew up in Silver Spring, was crushed. "The dagger already happened a while ago," he said. "That was the nail." The game was just like Washington's up-and-down season as the Redskins started slow, then rallied but ultimately fizzled. "I really thought we were going to win. I felt it in my bones. And that's why it hurts so much," said Gamache's friend, Michael Fitzmaurice, a District resident who flew out for the game. For the fans who braved the elements and the beery hordes at Qwest Field, the loss was an emotional injury to the insults they'd been suffering all day from Seahawks fans. And just like the noise, the hostile conditions were partly a product of the stadium's design. Unlike FedEx Field, where the sprawling suburban parking lot provides ample room for tailgating, Qwest Field is set in far more cramped downtown quarters. Throngs of Seahawk fans jam into a narrow strip of asphalt between a freeway overpass and the stadium, creating a warrenlike cluster of blue tents and jerseys. These were the hostile environs where one brave group of Washington fans set up before the game, and they were quickly besieged. Although Seattle fans have a reputation for civility, the hissing vandals that Washington fans faced yesterday were as bad-mannered a bunch as any in the league. Anyone who arrived in a Redskins jersey had to walk through a rioting gantlet of screaming blue meanies who pushed them, bumped them and even stole their beer. "They were throwing stuff at us: chicken wings, cans. It was terrible," said Dino Russo, 42, a Stafford resident whose Redskins rain poncho made him a ripe target. "I expected the crowd to be docile, and this was the opposite," said his friend Bruce May, 51, also of Stafford. "Philly is supposed to be the worst, but this doesn't compare." One well-traveled, battle-scarred Redskins fan, Ted Abela of the District, said he'd never seen so much unnecessary roughness from hometown fans. He likened walking into the stadium to entering the Colosseum in the movie "Gladiator," surrounded by packs of foaming Romans. "I went to Philly and New York this year, and this is worse," said Abela, 28. No one was immune. Even Ashleigh Miller, a junior at Loudoun Valley High School, wasn't spared from the onslaught, enduring a nasty encounter with one particularly boorish Seahawks fan. "He was right up in my face," she said, her blond braid tucked under a burgundy No. 21 hat honoring the late Sean Taylor, "and I'm only 16!" Miller and her father stood with their Redskins brethren in the rain before the game, dripping wet. "These fans are just trying to root for their team," said Kevin Miller, 48. "At least it's not like Philly, where they actually want to fight." But some Seattle fans did appear to actually want to fight. "It was scary; there were people in my face, blocking my path," said Steve Jones, 43, a District native now living in eastern Washington who drove over the mountains through 20 inches of snow to reach the stadium, only to face more treacherous conditions en route to a Redskins tailgate party. District resident Mike Cooper plunged right into the razzing and loved it, goading the Seattle fans by calling their players "Smurfs." "This is the best part," said the 41-year-old, who works as a loan officer when he's not wearing a crown of fake Redskins braids. "I love it." But some especially crass Seattle fans even went after the sacred, sullying the memory of Taylor, the defensive star who was killed in November, with low-blow insults. "I expected hostility, but I didn't expect people to say something like that," said Kenny Alvo, 24, an elementary school teacher in Springfield. "It's just a football game." "I've never seen people so classless," said Raza Ali, 33, a lawyer living in Los Angeles who grew up in Annapolis. "When I'm wearing No. 21 and somebody makes fun of a dead guy, that is classless by any definition." Seahawks fans said it was simply a matter of territorialism. "You gotta hold your own and let them know what time it is," said Kyl Uecker, 24, a beer-swilling Seattle resident plastered in blue and black face paint. The taunting continued into the stands for the sparse pockets of Redskins fans scattered throughout the stadium. Several fans planned an escape even before the game ended. Genna Henry of Idaho, whose father was from the District, said, "I just want to get out of here alive."

Someone else you're angry with? You need more Three Dog Night 'Joy to the World' spinning in your salon.

yeah...'connecting the dots' has a nice ring!! I bet Oprah's schedulers are already mulling over several tentative dates for a big MV appearance!!! Vick's Prison Sentence May Be Shortened Posted Jan 5th 2008 5:15PM by JJ Cooper Filed under: Falcons, Atlanta, NFL Police Blotter, Featured Stories Michael Vick might be back sooner than we think. Humane Society and PETA picketers better keep those posters ready, as there's a chance Michael Vick could be back on the field for the 2009 season. Yahoo! Sports is reporting that the Falcons quarterback could end up serving as few as 12 months of his 23 month sentence thanks to his entry into a drug rehab program in prison. By connecting the dots, the story speculates that Vick could be back in the NFL for the 2009 season, as he would likely wrap up his sentence early next year. Apparently the drug treatment program, which is only in place at the Leavenworth, Kan., federal penitentiary, allows inmates to wipe off up to a year of their sentence if they complete the drug treatment program. Vick has tested positive for marijuana, which ended up likely adding time to his prison sentence. But now that same drug test might end up helping him cut time from his current sentence. Vick has to be in the program for a year, which apparently hasn't begun, so he's likely looking at a February or March 2009 release. Now, there are several other obstacles to Vick getting back onto an NFL field. Commissioner Roger Goodell will have to end his indefinite suspension, he'll likely have to pass frequent drug tests, and probably most importantly, he'll have to find a team willing to have a dog killer on their roster, with all the bad publicity that will come with it. But getting his prison sentence over six months or more before the 2009 season does make it much more likely that Vick will end up getting back onto the field.

Yeah, at first glance I thought I recognized 'her' as a character in an old comic book of mine, riding in a stagecoach.

So this guy files Art Blakey under "B" and the Jazz Messengers under "J". I think that about tells you all you need to know. Up over and out. Do most people actually file record lps in alph order? Not me.

No Jutta Hipp and no Mobley 'Roll Call?' No wonder his face is hidden from view.

Fuck no!!! In a fascist dictatorship the church and/or the army are often competing centers of power to the regime and who really wants to have to deal with all that constant looking over your shoulder crap when there's so little time and so much to do?

24-hr 'news' cycles......out-of-control media flapdogs......the avalanche of 'news/info' aimed at the lowest common denominator -- I'm beginning to see the appeal of communist dictatorships.

The record was originally released as Wynton Kelly - Piano (RLP 12-254); a few years later it was re-released on Jazzland as 'Whisper Not' (JLP 83). That might be the reason... Well let's see if they'll rename it again and call it 'Wynton the Kid' ....then we'll add in a few outakes a la Tommy Flanagan 'Overseas' and see if we can't get Reinier to buy it?

When you read some of these recent tales of survival.....like the guy last summer down here who drove off the Baltimore-Washington Parkway into the ditch where he was pinned for 8 days....or the woman who had a similar experience in (??) a month ago, somehow 29 hours of sitting on a couch without getting up for the designated bathroom break or sleeping just doesn't seem all that amazing.

Oh stop teasing and tell me if I should ditch the XRCD in favor of this new one?

I'm really torn here. Hate to see Dan Snyder in a jovial mood...but I do like Gibbs. Haven't yet decided if I want to see the Seahawks knock the Skins senseless...or not.

Glad I moved on this one yesterday 'cause once again it's history, dust, archives............

UCCO 9273(DSD Mastering) Kelly, Wynton(p) / Piano* 2200 I see this title alternately referred to as either 'Piano' or 'Whisper Not' -- any particular reason for this?

Hey, waddaya want? A guy can only use so much beer 'stuff' as an avatar, right?? Okay, I don't want you to have nightmares, Beri...so I'll ditch the ugly one in favor of something to remind you of your days as a 'naughty' schoolboy, with schoolmaster Larry Craig letting you have it!!

Dang! Just stumbled upon this old thread again while running a Google. Amazing how often that happens. A good resource.

From the neighbors next door!!!!!!!!!

Nyah, Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah! I bet that Diamond 'Wing Fat' Brady doesn't have this in those boxes!! .....and he's not gettin' it either!!
