  1. The ruin is a tin mine - you find these dotted all over parts of Cornwall. Normally thought of as a rural idyll, Cornwall was actually one of our earliest large-scale industrial areas. The island is St Michael's Mount near Penzance which was, indeed, founded by monks from Mont St. Michel, a (not so) short boat ride away! Enjoyed those NY shots - it is such a photogenic city. Must go back! Love the cow too...I hate to think how many 'cows in a field' photos I've taken. Can't resist! we may be birds of a feather. just bettin' you dig elgar(especially gerontius and the cello concerto), delius, and finzi, too.
  2. koss portapro headphones these early 1980's headphones absolutely unchanged (about $30 including shipping, from amazon) are awesome sounding. to my ears, you wont find better for $150. mine sound great, and they have a free replacement warranty, no questions asked. send koss 6 bucks for shipping, and get a new pair. if style isnt your thing, and sound is, and, like me, you dont have that much money, do your ears a great favor. true, they arent closed ear, but you'll love them, very likely. i bought another set, just in case i lose this pair. (bluelake, wkcr, and kbcs replays sound awesome on the pod). after about 3 hours of the very slightly overemphasized bass, i've had enough. that's about my listening limit. they fold neatly into their little bag/case for travel. they blow my sony earbuds away.
  3. ...havent hungered for steaks or burgers lately. ............................ must be getting old.
  4. lauren reminds me of that awesome beezboll term, "over but low".
  5. that was helpful. thanks for taking the time, and for the clarification. have you moved? i dont recall seeing 'florida'?
  6. when i heard or read ' on the' ....................musical instrument, a musician sitting or reclining on their instrument comes to mind, a funny picture indeed. isnt 'at the' or something else more accurate and appropriate?
  7. glad you caught them. i was thinking the same thing.
  8. there were no commercial billie-basie recordings that i know of.
  9. kcr now and for next several hours playing basie broadcasts from the mid 40s with billie and jimmy.
  10. i relistened to the entire midnight-3am bloc on my walk/run today, editting out the very few promos, of course. that was pure heaven. thanks for the jessica, too. she has softened her touch a great deal.
  11. an awesomeshow . its already on my ipod, and will be for quite some time. if i owned only early lester, early bean in europe, and 30's billie, i would never thirst for music.
  12. pres and bird birthday celebrations back to back starting midnight eastern(pres would be 100), running for several days on wkcr, AND, AFTER OUT ON BLUELAKE, AT MIDNIGHT, OF COURSE.

  14. i own, since they were released, most of the capitol items mentioned, and most of the gleason, as well. i have long noticed the difference, but ascribed it to the mixes. my mono of only the lonely contains an extra track, but, to me, that extra cut doesnt sound like it is from the same session. does anyone know why. i would love to own cd rereleases of the mono recordings of these items. where's nessa when you need him?
  15. i just a heard a wonderful recording of a 1980 town hall concert with willie ruff, dwike mitchell, and diz. this leads me to wonder whether: 1. this quality recording has been reissued 2. how much original jazz material was issue by book of the.......? if this recording is indicative, they mave have an awesome catalogue. this subdued spacy diz is magnificent.
  16. one of my spiritual homes hidden on some railroad tracks between 2 prisons, one gothic, with an old potters field for inmates where i can watch hundreds of cattle graze and look down at sunsets. my soul needs at least one sunset there per week.
  17. the forgotten score to mickey one by eddie sauter and stan getz(just slightly post focus) was a pure delight for me for many decades, and the cryptic movie was equally splendid. some of stan's happiest and most sensitive playing............ it was apparently recorded after stan's father's death. that may have had something to do with the beauty. the mickey polka is something that not easily leaves the head.
  18. how could we not note that abominating screecher, kenny g, anytime? hopefully, joe and kenny are not planning a reelease. when in vegas a few years ago, his new years eve tickets were going for 3 times that of earth, wind, and fire at the mgm.
  19. i'll drink to that. has mr. organissimo ever worked a ball game? he'd be awesome jazzing a cubs, brewers, or tigers game, or maybe a hockey game.
  20. lots of footnotes from the knowledgeable ben young. http://www.columbia.edu/cu/wkcr/
  21. unreal. probably for fred, too.
