i cart around a tiny rca pearl($15)with usb plug and keep at hand an inexpensive external drive of 500 g.of music. 1 aaa battery lasts at least 50 hours. there is the rechargable battery option, of course. with a nice set of phones, the sound is fabulous. moving the music in and out is effortless. i reduce the file sizes to 64 k. by using mp3 pro. i put my vinyls, cds, radio programs, and tapes on the ext. drive. the pearls are all but extinct, so i have purchased 4 backups. the rca pearl is not sexy, trendy, or costly, but, then, i'm not either.

max roach music all day, on the anniversary of his birth. ....one of my favorite annual broadcasts on wkcr. max roach radio

worrisome, to me, is that the recent seattle victory would help the nfl rationalize expanding the field of playoff teams. the league has never let anything get in the way of making another 10 million bucks.

i'm bumbling around looking for am stations doing colt or jet broadcasts. network shills don't do it for me. give me homers any day.

thanks for the enlightenment.

january gazette thanks, folks.

monk and mulligan is about as disparate a pairing as these ears can stomach. i have a pairing of pee wee russell and red allen--now that's good. has anyone mentioned the metheny-ornette disasters?

"worn out old w(h)ore-horses?"

square on!!! wonder what the feds would say about that double header i threw down last evening?

the local wosu outlet is now carrying classical music, albeit mostly the classical top 50. at least, that foregoes the dread npr signal.

progress

ted is the guest host on wkcr until 9pm eastern, playing some great sides, if you enjoy early lee konitz and his amazing compatriots. he just mentioned studying with lenny from 48 to 55. wkcr

wosu makes changes npr all day, all the time. there, of course, will be a minor satellite playing canned classics. jazz and classical music with intelligent commentary are becoming a thing of the past. in my half century years of listening to wosu-am and fm, there were many splendid hosts and commentators who daily shared their love and knowledge of music, and taste, and a piece of their lives with us listeners. i miss their companionship. one article suggests that my local satellite will carry the news service and another says that classical will be broadcast. time will tell.

how kind. thank you, sir.

awesomw--thanks

if walls could sing

AMEN! "I gave up on this dream a long time ago." ......but you still love it with your heart, soul, and dollars. thank you.

rich conaty was recounting vince giordano's band last tuesday night performing some first time sight-playing big band charts from the 30s. is sight reading done in solo, group, and band competitions? to a nonmusician, it would seem that this could make for some remarkably memorable and forgettable experiences.

dozens were rushing into our ymca this morning at 8, precisely when the sun was breaking over the horizon. it troubled me that no one stopped to look at a 3 minute sunrise............ this song came to mind. for free

thanks, larry.

after finishing recording my broadcasts for the week, saturday and half of sunday are days of silence. i treasure them.

in the late 60s-early 70s, i recall going to the music store 2 or 3 times a day for my newest 'fix'. now, i go(online) maybe 5 times a year. has the music changed, or have i?

yours is the big O post of the year. thank you.
