17 Before the singing I tought Film Noir music then it became Richard Wagner's take on spirituals and the blues.

It might help Mosiac ascertain the number of sets for the first run.

Coleman Hawkins Quartet Live at the London House Chicago, Ill. My Cd is on Gambit

Don't you recognice the still from; Det sjunde akkordeon ?

I try to collect all original Columbia 6 eye editions from the 56-62 period. But transatlantic postage is putting me off to fill the gaps: 'Anatomy of a murder', 'Blues in Orbit' is a Phillips edition, 'Piano in the Foreground' a french CBS and the 'Midnight in Paris' cover is damaged. Yes EP's and ordinary 45's

My display wall. All records can easly taken of the wall and replaced by other records. Made by my builder who had a record store before becoming a builder.

Just finished 'Charlie Christian the genius of the electric guitar' Disc 4.

This afternoon 'Charlie Christian the genius of the electric guitar' Disc 2. And now Disc 3.

After playing Benny Goodman 'The complete RCA Victor small group recordings' for the second time this week-end I'm baffeled that I didn't remember it better. The only track I don't like is 'Sweet Lorraine' beacause of the brushes as used by Dave Tough. My first tought was that the master was damaged. Now playing 'Charlie Christian the genius of the electric guitar' Disc 1.

There are many extra new bulletins with updates about the flooding on dutch public TV. Here in Haarlem north of the rivers I'm safe. The flood is still in the province of Limburg. The coming days the exces water will flow throug the broad rivers in the southern part of the country. After previous floods a lot of space was created to accomodate the extra water. Not much trouble expected there.

Continued with disc 2 and now playing disc 3.
