Harold Lloyd, that's him on the clock doin' his own stunts, right? OMG, that's crazy, funny too.

Do without? Hell, I want more! Like a Harry Warren or Lerner & Lowe or.... but if I had to go all Sesame St and say which one othese is not like the others, it would be the Johnny Mercer, or the Ellintons, but I like them.

Wouldn't have thought they had that kind of money to throw around anymore, F1 cars are notoriously made out of unobtainium....

I could swear I'd posted this already, but none of the music posted in this thread does anything at all for me, for whatever that's worth...

MLL for me - my dad was a huge fan of his "Honky Tonk Train" and of trains in general, honky tonks not so much. But I'vwe come to appreciate them both, and Pete Johnson and many other properly two-handed pianists, over the years.

Old ones too?

I've always assumed that his use of electric bass came down to his allegiance to Bob Cranshaw, who happened to switch to electric bass (due to back problems, I read somewhere). When I saw Sonny in Detroit last year, Cranshaw was on upright, while he was on electric the previous two times that I'd seen him. Regarding who Sonny should play with, I think he could poach Joe Lovano's Us Five group for some gigs or recording and make some great music. Poach the band and fry Joe?

Bernadette is also full on paranoid/obcessive, not that there's anything wrong with that - in a song!

two guys who don't belong on the same bandstand, but does it matter?

A sure sign that it's over?

No, I think Lee's "they" refers to Lester & Warne being able to do that mentally without the aids available now.

This is so Saskatoon, in so many ways, it could take forever to explain.

and maybe they were hoping he'd bring some new tunes?

Makes perfect sense iff (mathematical, if but only if) you remember that Williams was a huge Beatles fan - see/hear his versions of "Fool on the Hill" and Blackbird"...coulda been great, as long as Tony refrained from singing!

George Jones had a gift, a stunning voice, which he choose how to use, sometimes well... Ray Price was less gifted but made himself a great singer by woking at it, and a great band leader too before he disbanded the Cherokee Cowboys, but it's true that he hasn't garned the widespread appreciation that George did.

A special favorite George Jones performance is his version of "Trouble in Mind" from his Bob Wills tribute album.

He stopped loving her today...

I didn't quite see what the point of this article was, but I loves me some Willie!

And Phil Woods + that wonderful rhythm section on Musique du Bois

I thought it was Gator Tail, but maybe I'm thinking of a different Clovers record...love the Clovers and their version of Blue Velvett, their best ballad?

I used to really enjoy his show with Cisco, even though I'm not much of a film guy and often disagreed with 'em both. Fantasized 'bout having a similar show discussing music...

I think I'll pass on this one in any format - rather too much of a good thing, as is 48 minutes of Sonny playing "Four", diminishing returns and all that, YMMV

Let me know if you didn't get the gist of what I was saying. I did not get it. Any relationship between Motian and Mobley? Even I got what he was sayin', and I'm not particularly inclined to...

I thought this fine recording was recently reissued, no?

The GG I'm hoping to see released is/are(?) the 2 outtakes from Carryin' On - two Jimmy Webb Tunes IIRC. That and everything else he ever set to tape!
