Lyin' To Myself, by Louis Armstrong (Decca, mid-1930s)

Based on your contact with him, do you think that he will ever provide the answers to his recent Blindfold Test? I would really like to know the artists and song titles, especially on the second disc. I miss reading his posts, too.

What are the rarities?

I have that Zappa but it is really worth getting--some genuinely exciting improvisation.

I am glad that Allan is all right. I thought that maybe his wife had pulled the plug, literally or figuratively, on his internet use.

Hines is a big favorite of mine. I grabbed every Hines LP which I discovered in the Music Exchange's $1/album liquidation sale, which I have described elsewhere on this forum. There were quite a few Hines LPs from after 1960. I found a lode of them in a box of mostly polka music. That's the way that the Music Exchange's $1 sale goes. I have also learned that Amoeba bought what they wanted from the Music Exchange's 1 million LPs, before the rest of the collection was put on sale to the public. It is surprising how much great music remains.
