Orders from Dusty Groove, CD Baby & Amazon, all placed later than the Worlds order have all arrived. I e-mailed Worlds. They replied saying they had done their job by mailing the CDs & now it's up to the post office.

"Bourgeois" is the funniest part of this thread. It's fine (IMO) to like what you like. However when you start to state that what you like is better than what someone else likes I get annoyed. What makes any one of us the almighty arbiter of what's better / good?

I know (other than listing what isn't in stock yet) that it's the post office when it comes to shipping time. I'm just saying that for less shipping cost on the same size order, you get 1st class mail from Dusty Groove & orders do arrive on time. Here for more $ you get Media Mail which seems to take forever. 11 days & counting so far. I had ordered enough to get free shipping. Then the 15% off sale took over & I was charged shipping since the discount reduced it below the free shipping threshold. That all took place after I placed the order. Still saved $1.15. Oh, boy!!

Me too.

So I order 2 CDs from the Worlds Records site on Jan. 1. They were shipped on Jan. 17, so I presume they didn't have them in stock. 10 days later the CDs are still NOT delivered. $4+ to ship 2 CDs. FWIW, DG shipped me 2 CDs on Jan. 23 for $1 less shipping, & they have already been delivered. Is this typical for Worlds? Why charge more for media mail than others charge for 1st class? I'll think twice before I order from them again!!

Just finished the cookies.

Very nice 1st post. Welcome for sure.

Timothy Hallinan: A Nail Through The Heart

Art Pepper

Shorter is a more advanced player and writer, but I generally find Mobley more enjoyable and I return to his recordings more frequently. I don't rate players any longer, I came to the conclusion that it's pointless, I like who I like because I like them. Right - it's all good if you like it. Simple as that for me.

Include me on the + side.

Yep - you missed it.

Francine Prose: My New American Life

How about Getz with Clarke / Boland.

Empire Of The Summer Moon is a good read. It may or may not be "history" depending on your definition.

C.J. Box: Cold Wind

Great session. I also like The Big Challenge & The Big Reunion.

Nice list. I'll just go with those.

Karl Marlantes: Matterhorn (A Novel Of The Vietnam War)

Chris Cleave: Little Bee

That's not a "sale", it's an auction. Just sayin'.

Regular is "down" to $2.73 here in Santa Fe.

Much better than if it was Newt's or Mitt's favorite.
