Son-of-a-Weizen

Summer of '83.......food poisoning kicked in hard about an hour after wheels up on a Kong Kong-LAX-New York flight. Must have been a noodle joint the night before.

Ahhh, Austria.....what a fine place. Love all those nicely decorated pastry & sweet shops that are wall-to-wall in Vienna (not to mention other european cities). The US really is pathetic on that front. Even NYC bites.

I saw that for the first time at Dusty G. last night as well. I have the 1 & 2 Feet on Japanese but am tempted to get this as well for the 3rd session and ditch my vinyl copy. That's one to grab, ManWithGoldenClamOnaHalfShell!!

Oh, just playing around with some markers. Checked your Blue Note LPs this week? Need to fix that window lock in the back hallway.

I sent the bride and groom a 24 oz can of Starkist Tuna w/a pretty bow on top for a wedding gift.

The "I don't even want you prosecuted. I love you. Give yourself up" line was a nice touch too.

At one point in early '05 Scott was talking up a possible Terry Gibbs set (said they were negotiating, if I remember correctly). That would be nice.

Yeah, well, ya know......Captain Kidd did the best he could at the controls in that old worm eaten ship of his.

Talk about a Rodney Dangerfield '......get no respect' moment. Former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry robbed WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- Former Washington Mayor Marion Barry reportedly was robbed inside his home by youths who had volunteered to carry his groceries. "It's quite an experience to have a pistol pointed in your face," said Barry, who is now a city council member, reports The Washington Post. A police spokesman said the department is investigating the complaint. Barry told a local television station he gave the youths left after he gave them a couple of dollars. But they returned and pointed a gun to his head and took his wallet, which contained cash and credit cards, Barry said. Barry served four terms as mayor and was elected to the city council in 2004.

I agree.........but I'd also like to see them spit out a few other Savoys like Bley's 'Footloose' and Kenny Clarke's 'Klook's Clique'. At least that Bley was out in circulation for a short while as a mini-lp, the Clarke hasn't ever been available as a cd. I don't know if Bley's 'Floater Syndrome' is still around? ..be nice to have that one in circulation again. They can fix the typo that says it was recorded on September 12, 1693.

No.....but I did see your New Years thread post and popped on over to Netflix to see if it was available. Series 1 is in the queue, babe. Got a boatload of these to get through first....

I just watched the 'Case of the Silk Stocking' and imo this Rupert Everett character is the best Holmes......post-Basil Rathbone.

Anything new in CouponWorld? 2nd of Jan. seems like a good time to dash out and buy

Not all.....only that Iancy Korossy guy!

Anyone playing dress up and doing the New Years Day dinner thing? Not something we've done before.......but..... cruising the grocery store aisles on Fri., saw that they had turkey at 24 cents/lb so I lugged home a 22 lb unit thinking that it might be fun for us to break out the china from last weekend and have a sit down. The bird's now in the oven.....gonna scoop up all sorts of odds & ends for the stuffing in the casserole-- leftover hamburger buns, potato sandwich bread...a baguette....w/some green onions, raisins, chopped apples....maybe some clear onion broth and an egg. Hmmm, what else to toss in there???? Woah, this is weird.......no relatives hanging about the place either.

The Jazztet at the Five Spot (11/59)

Currently working our way through Season 2 (disc 4). I had to roll my eyes in disgust at the way the bed-hopping Brenda lets Nate twist a bit after coming clean re: his Seattle 'adventure,' all the while failing to utter a peep about her own latest round of 'activities' (ahem) with complete strangers. Quite clever also of the show's creators -- shocking, actually -- to craft a scene where Nate is attacked by his conscience when his four smiling couldawouldashouldabeen children suddenly appear. You could almost hear jaws dropping across the nation.

The recipe with or without eggs?

Could be............but it sounds to me like you might actually be talking about Yusef Lateef on 'Judyful' from the Fuller Sextet "Images" Savoy one? Coincidentally, I saw the Curtis Fuller Quintet last weekend w/Ronnie Matthews and Lou Hayes. It was Fuller's B'day and Freddy Cole stopped by to sing a couple of numbers, which was a real treat! After the show Hayes had a cd or two rattling around in his bag so I bought 'Dreamin of Cannonball' off him (he was a bit miffed that he had to pack up his own kit). So that then, was my last CD purchase.

How's the Pim Jacobs?
