I love that session. Great repertoire. Ellington's "The Mystery Song"!

Jimi crack corn and he don't care...

But my real favorite is that guy who discovered that thing... ...you know. Can't think of his name right now. Real important, big scientist dude. Name escapes me. That guy!

Frankenstein? Yeah, him! Szilard, not only because his name is an anagram for "lizards" but also because he wrote some great science fiction stories as well as being a great nuclear physicist (the guy who thought up the chain reaction!).

Maybe they could sell the numbers separately?

Happy Birthday, Jim! And thanks for everything!

Payin' dues is what it's called.... ...payin' dues. Back in my day, we used to get shocked all the time... ...AND WE LIKED IT!

Cain't blame ya.

I don't have this box, but I likes me some Bobby Hackett .

That explains the "Chessy" aroma...

Let's hear more...

I'm loving this "alternate universe."

Jes' keep 'em comin'

Payin' dues is what it's called.... ...payin' dues.

Ouch!

Thanks for that, Larry. I was curious about the Ohlsson interpretstions not only because they were released on the audiophile Arabesque label, but also because he made an appearance -- very much appreciated -- at my high school in the late 1970's, which I have nostalgic memories of. He is, indeed, a big man with big hands, as you surmised. So whose version do you recommend?

I must admit that all of the "Idols" are musically worthless, as far as I'm concerned. Sociology be damned!

He is, after all, arguably the greatest Australian recording artist of all time, for whatever that's worth...

Not sure, but it is pretty good. Guy I seem to recall that the author of Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser, gave them pretty good marks.

MEAT!

No disrespect to anyone on the board, but the fact that Mosaic does not ship in numerical order seems to have been clarified numerous times in many threads that I can remember. Yet it still seems that on practically every thread that deals with the availiabilty of the Mosaic sets, people still say something to the effect of "well, I just got shipped number _____, so we are still safe" or "I just got shipped number_____, hurry up and get yours!" I'm not sure why this is. Mosaic has indicated to myself and other board members that they don't ship in numerical order. Perhaps this fact should be clarified in its own thread? The numbering system still seems to cause alot of stir around here. Like I said, I don't mean any disrespect to anyone, and I'm sorry to vent this in your thread, Big Al. Anyways, carry on. P.S. For my money, those early Selects are still some of the best products Mosaic has ever released. Get em while you can. My understanding is that "Selects" ship in random order, but their other sets ship sequentially. Am I wrong?

One of those 'steins, anyway...

I mean, Eistein...

OK, seriously, Eisenstein...

Antony van Leeuwenhoek, just 'cause I dig his name...
