Did I miss the 50th of "Live/Dead", or did they not do one? If not, do we know why? "Live/Dead" is my favorite album of theirs - not saying it is their best, but it has the longest run and fondest memories for me.

I own and like the Garnett, Young, Willis, and Wilkens.

@tkeithPlease let me know where to start! @webbcity So it turns that in addition to 7 and 14, I also own 6 (which I love), 10, 13. I really need to get more familiar with what's on my shelves! Fun BFT! I'm not a big fan of the "mature" Ricky Ford, which explains my reticence on #2. I liked him as a kid with Mingus and on his first album, "Loxodonta Africana". I may do some sleuthing based on Thom's work and your feedback to him. I may have semi-wooden ears, but I'm great at google searches!

What has kept me away is the film soundtrack music on the second disc. Please report back on that after you give it a listen!

Anyone gotten a shipping notice yet on the On The Corner set?

Cool, where can I join a fantasy Korean Baseball League!

Thom and Tim, sounds like you two listen to a lot of the same music. You'd almost think you knew each other and had hung out together or something .

BREAKING NEWS The Trump administration is privately projecting daily coronavirus deaths to nearly double by June 1, even as it presses states to reopen. Monday, May 4, 2020 11:42 AM EST The projections, based on modeling by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and pulled together in chart form by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, forecast about 3,000 daily deaths, and 200,000 new cases each day by the end of this month, up from about 25,000 cases now.

Let me know what that is when you figure it out. Whatever that job/career is, that's what I want to be when I grow up!

This was the first one I bought by him back in the day. Much in need of CD issue:

Get this next. It's even better:

The confirmed case #'s are gonna skyrocket if/when we get serious about universal testing.

My understanding is that the Black Byrd concept was offered to Morgan prior to Byrd and he turned it down. 1972-1975 Blue Note was all over the place, so impossible to project what way Morgan's albums would have gone. Hubbard's Columbia recordings are a better listen in retrospect than they were at the time, and some of them are quite good.

Don't know. I read an interview like that, but also read where Helen Morgan basically was keeping it all together for him while he did whatever. Or maybe he was recovered and sound due to her previous help? And I think any number of artists in any number of genres could feel like they are underrepresented in mass media. Don't see easy answers, but if I'm Dick Cavett in the early 70's, I need to consider viewership to stay on the air. ABC was not publicly funded non-profit PBS. Something like PBS or the NEA seems like a more suitable area to make the appeal. Just thinking out loud here, I don't have the answers, but at least this may spur more interesting posts from people who are a lot more informed than I am and have thought through this stuff a lot more than I have. I haven't seen "I Called Him Morgan", am going from articles I have read the past few years. Why did Helen Morgan get a very short jail sentence? Looking forward to receiving more enlightenment through this thread.

I had the same impression.

Yes, farther north in Jersey is horrendous, but we are talking about shades of bad rather than good vs. bad. And of course all of these numbers are only a fraction of the actual infections in these counties because of the lack of testing. We have a prison in our county that reported having 6 cases, so they chose to test the whole prison population, and it was actually 177 rather than 6.

Saw him at Penn's Landing in 1988. His group included Vic Juris, and the communication between the two was uncanny. Not sure if he was with Eddie Jefferson, who I saw at the Empty Foxhole in the 70's. I always enjoyed his playing a lot.

I wish! We qualify. I just checked online, and it says we do qualify, where last week it said it didn't have enough info to find us or something. We have not yet filed 2019 return, which may be part of the slowdown, but we owe enough (by design - I'd rather take an interest free loan from the gvt than give one to them) that it's not going to make me speed up filing. Looks like it is just a matter of all things (usually) come to those who wait.

Can't see him on Strata-East for any number of non-music reasons. Guys like Tolliver, Cowell, and Harper have always seemed to have their personal acts together, and Strata-East was "musician owned and run". None of that sounds like Morgan.

Haven't gotten our checks yet (not direct deposit). How concerned should I be?

Correct, but both areas are bad, as are the other Philadelphia collar counties (Delaware, Chester, Bucks), and the Greater Philly Metro counties in New Jersey (Camden, Burlington, Glouster). Montgomery County has half the population of Philadelphia County, and covers 3.5 times the area, so 7:1 population density difference.

same here In what ways?
