  1. Glanced at the article. Glad they could hear the difference on the $100,000 speaker system. Wondering how it would sound fed through my $80 Sony boombox and $60 Sennheiser headphones setup?
  2. Just sour grapes over the Rangers playing 36 games against the Astros/Dodgers?
  3. I do miss baseball, have lived and breathed it since I was seven years old, have spent much of my life with my ears glued to hall-of-fame broadcasters (Bob Prince as a kid, Harry Kalas and Richie Ashburn as an adult) but everyone needs to stay safe. I will welcome whatever they come up with.,
  4. Tyner Tolliver Handy selects. McLean Blakey Elvin big boxes.
  5. The lack of social distancing shown in many of the NFL draft player's houses was frightening.

    Love Higgins on the title tune of this.
  7. Ace is miles ahead of Charly in every regard. Sundazed is fabulous, sort of a better Rhino, founded by Bob Irwin. Great remastering on Sundazed. And their old catalogs were wonderful reading, very humorous.

    Love the Steeplechase Albums with Clifford Jordan.
  9. Never understood how Bobby Fuller's "Let Her Dance" didn't become a huge hit song.
  10. Yes, very good work and totally legit, licensed, etc. Look Ma, no amplifiers or power cords! This, on the other hand, is real and freakin' fantastic. And this is pretty great.
  11. So much for the "no-politics edition", but how can we possibly help ourselves, LOL !!!
  12. Also with Gary Bartz on the great "I've Known Rivers" Montreux set. Happy birthday.
  13. Well. that would certainly sway the voting numbers.

  15. Also kills 99.9% of those drinking it.

  17. They're hardly alone in that, though those are some strange moves they made.
  18. Tenor saxophonist Bootsie Barnes, 82, has passed from Covid-19. He was a constant factor on the Philly scene for decades, a fine player. Here is more from the Philadelphia Inquirer: https://www.inquirer.com/health/coronavirus/live/coronavirus-covid-19-philadelphia-pennsylvania-new-jersey-deaths-confirmed-case-updates-news-20200423.html Robert ‘Bootsie’ Barnes, noted Philly tenor saxophonist, dies of coronavirus at 82 MICHAEL BRYANT / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Local legend tenormen Bootsie Barnes (left) and Larry McKenna. To celebrate their 80th birthdays they recorded the 2018 album "The More I See You." Barnes died Wednesday from the coronavirus. Robert “Bootsie” Barnes, the Philadelphia tenor sax player who played with Lee Morgan, Philly Joe Jones and Albert “Tootie” Heath among many other jazz luminaries, died on Wednesday at Lankanau Medical Center in Wynnewood at age 82. His wife, Sandra Tuner-Barnes, confirmed her husband’s death on Thursday. She said he had been hospitalized for 22 days, and the cause of death was coronavirus. Mr. Barnes was widely respected and well known in the jazz world for his hard driving playing, earthy tone and adventurous spirit. He grew up in the Richard Allen Homes in North Philadelphia, was particularly in demand as horn player who paired off with organists in the great Philadelphia tradition, teaming with Jimmy Smith, Brother Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff, Trudy Pitts and Shirley Scott. When starting out, he also frequently played with his childhood friend Bill Cosby whom he met in kindergarten, and who was a jazz drummer before he moved on to comedy.I In the 1970s, Mr. Barnes toured with saxophonist Sonny Stitt. Over the decades, he served as a mentor to generations of young Philadelphia jazz musicians. In recent years, he frequently played with fellow Philly sax man Larry McKenna, with whom he recorded the 2018 album The More I See You, in celebration of both of their 80th birthdays. — Dan DeLuca
