I met a female alto clarinet player when I was working in a record store some time back, always wondered what happened to her...

According to www.measuringworth.com, 5 pounds sterling in 1974 is now worth: 38.80 using the retail price index £39.80 using the GDP deflator £62.10 using the average earnings £75.20 using the per capita GDP and then there's the relative worth of pounds versus dollars... £82.60 using the share of GDP Does anyone else have probs from not having enough room to type/see what you're typing?

OMG are you serious? Any adequate explication of the long history of an aesthetic preference for distorted/dirty/impure (in sound or otherwise) could fill volumes...so, in short, hell yes some of us like it like that! Or are you asking something much more specific about this particular frequency of B3 sound?

Sorry to hear that he's gone, yes I have been reading his recent NYR stuff, with mixed feelings - have to go back and review to say anything more intelligent than that and I don't really have time...hopefully someone else will have something more substantive to add.

Thank you. Left SK on the 29th, got home yesterday. Can anyone think of another pro sports (if that's what the CFL is) where a team represents the whoole province/state/whatever as the Riders do?

Saw the Calgary v. SK game, the last half anyway in the Bar in Saskatoon while watching my brother's friend play 'dueling pianos'. The Riders stunk, but it was small potatoes next to my dad dying that week...

Dude! Makin' me feel old... You never heard "Green Onions" or anything by Otis Redding or Sam & Dave?

Some of the rec's above have sax (but are otherwise excellent), hmm maybe Jimmy Smith's Root Down (quite unlike his other work)?

Do the MGs fit yer def of "instrumental rock"? Do the MGs fit yer def of "instrumental rock"?

Absolutely, reminds me I need to get looking for the album of Hank W he did with Joe Pass. Thanks for posting this. The only Roy I got now is the one with Gatemouth Brown & arito.

The army corps of engineers had a thing about it, rivers meandering that is.

Good for you Allen, but Greil went into his fat Elvis stage a long time ago....

So, how is the Braxton Tristano. Konitz had some rather harsh things to say about it, but he can just be that way.

Pet Thounds

Much prefer PT which sounds fine to me. The reconstructed Smile is mere ear candy, IMHO YMMV etc.

Back to the original topic, it's kinda 'god in the ____' and equally wishful thinking....

"Betcha, By Golly, Wow!" I love it too.

This proceedure (Fucking Goddamn Mutilation) was done to my mother when she was 13 (in the US, she's Danish/Scots-Irish). She was scarred for life, I grew up with the consequences. She recovered, more or less, eventually. People who defend/excuse this as culture should be shot. Yes, it does make me upset.

Perhaps they had a contract with someone else close by (the're everywhere) that precluded any other vendor with street access within a certain distance?

Somebody else suggested this, so hear goes, I think the alternate of Herbie Hancock's "Blind Man" is way better than the master (and I don't even own it!) It's that 'extra note' Herbie talked about in the bass line, makes it way funkier. Now it's your turn...

I didn't mean "learned from records" as a putdown, merely descriptive - if anything that fact may have helped him acheive his particular greatness. It also puts a different spin on the 'sold his soul to the devil' if you believe in a romanticist vision of an oral tradition oand that's what you think 'the blues' was...

This mastered way too fast stuff is old news isn't it, seems I remember hearing about it some years back. It only makes sense that Clapton would love RJ, they both learned blues the same way - from records, in Johnson's case while he was shacked up with robt Jr Lockwood's mom. Kinda ironical that Clapton's best work, Layla, was also sped up...

I remember something Glyn Johns said regarding the Stones that might be appropo here - something to the effect that first take would be good, second take great, then they beat it to death doing ten more and pick the sixth one, mix it funny and put that out, who knows why.

It is 'quiet Kenny' in a kinda loud setting, but it works for me...

konitz, ornette, rollins - any two of these would probably be great, all three maybe not? my time machine/lost tapes fantasy would involve Rollins & Lee Morgan together, or Lou D, Stanley T, Grant G, John P & Idris M, or Lester & Gil Evans, or?
