After reading this thread my normally sweet natured 4 yr old had a total meltdown the vnext morning, that'll learn me...

I've certasinly heard Cream, Yardbirds and Hendrix about as much on oldies as I remember hearing them on air back in the day, still too little and only the obvious cuts. And no shortage of Motown either in the two weeks my Studebaker's radio has worked out of the last year and a half (What else than oldies are you gonna play on an AM radio?). But I haven't listened enough to notice any change in formnat, I always wish they'd play more doo wop...

I absolutely love Five Live, dodgey sound and all, it's the best document of what club bands of that era sounded like plus I like Relf's harmonica, and agree that you want to get Roger in mono (or mono and stereo). I'm less fond of Page era stuf (although the two cuts with Beck and Page are spectacular), still prefer to Led Zep tho', but certainly wish I'd bought Cumular Limit when it was available at sane prices. Had the Live at the Anderson Theater LP, sold it for too little $, interesting but not spectacular. If you get tired of howlin' Relf's inadequate vocals there's always Them...

Guy, Of course, you're right. I could claim a typo, but it was just a brain fart. On a not quite wholey unrelated subject, I heard a swinging instrumental of "The Night Before" in a restaurant a while back, anyone have any idea who it might have been? Don't Let Me Down, Dana

"Go Now" is nice period Brit pop, and I love that the're named after a Slim Harpo instrumental...but they definitely took a wrong turn for me and epitimize everything I dislike about semi-prog classic rock or whatever you wanna call their thing...

"Rain" is, as I'm sure most of you know, available of the current odds 'n ends album, Past Masters I. I am somewhat surprised that "Rain", which I remember as a double A-side receiving plenty o' airplay, would be considered at all abscure, or any other Beatles recording given official release. But then I'm 52 so I've been hearing them as long as I've been interested in music... I think that there are lots of great covers, as well as even more pointless ones, jazz and otherwise, and we're discussing them because some of us like to get (our minds, at least) out of the jazz ghetto now & again. All you need is love, Dana

Well, I clicked and there's music that's perfectly dancable and there's people dancin' but it don't really look to me like the're actually dancin' to that particular music, or is the sync just a little off...

Two from my college daze: "Love is never having to say 'how was it'" "Lee Morgan cooks" to which I added "Hank Mobley does the dishes". coulda sworn I'd already posted this, who knows where it ended up...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think anyone's mentioned my fav rav: Bird, Diz, Bud & the (still) great Roy Haynes, Summit Meeting @ Birdland (among other issues), 1950? amazing Bird break and for me Roy swings more than Max...

Prarie Home Companion insipid? I guess it helps if you've lived in MN, as I have, or have some connection to the Lutherans, as my wife does. Even then some times it's funnier than others, as is the Simpsons.

A 45 of the same performance should have more volume and presence, and, of course, be in mono. Blue Note 45s however often weren't the same as the LP tracks, they might be edited, a wholey different performance of the same tune, or something that was never on an album back in the day. Some of these variations show up on CD, not all. So...of course the're collectable, to varying degrees depending on exactly what it is...

Cassandra Wilson - Blue Skies singer, trio, standards, v. nice in a nice but more than just nice sort of way...

I used to be much more taken with this than I am now, now it just seems like fairly typical late Pepper, enjoyable but no big deal...

OUT TO LUNCH love the cover, love the record too None of my other fav's are on this list either...

I finished and enjoyed this book, but it sure seemed like he skated over any and all hard Q's.

"labourer" by the 49th Parallel from Alberta "Work to Do" by the Isley Bros. "Work With Me Annie" by Hank Ballard

Heard Dewey live only once, with the KJ American Quartet, and felt that none of his records did him justice in terms of toneor performance. Hope he's doing better soon...

I swear I saw something where Donald and Albert gave different pronunciations for Ayler...

Damn, there's a lot of Small Faces on there, and they rock!

I do have a copy of the CD in question. It is rather rockish as I recall but it does feature my bud, tenor saxophonist Scott Fultz who also lead a more straightahead Hank trib band called Straight No Filter in the late 80s - early 90s in the Twin Cities. The latter project was quite good but I don't think they ever put any product out although I have a tape of me reading my Hank poem that was played on MN radio back in the day...Scott has a web site chronicling his current doings.

Saw Johnny et al in Van, WA today. Unfortunately didn't have a chance to talk to them after. Nonetheless, I would strongly recommend going to see them to all of you anywhere near their upcoming swing east. dana

re Booker, you realize that sometimes it's Isaac Hayes instead of or in addition to Booker on Keyboards? I would also add that I enjoy the other Memphibian R&B instrumentals as much as the MGs and would love to see/hear a box that also had Mar-Keys, etc. on it...the MGs box did have "Hole In the Wall" by the Packers, but I have other inclusion/exclusion issues with it..."Yank Me Doodle" anyone?

No change for me: Muddy, Wolf, Magic Sam, and pretty much anything with the MG's either on their own or backing singers.

I thought the whole issue was pretty good. Does anybody else buy the critics poll issue like I do just so I can add up the votes split between established and new star catagories when they don't know where to put 'em? i can't believe some of the peoples that still gets new star votes!

jeez, sorry to be a thread killer, but 'South Bend rules, Detroit drools'. Oh, and the height of NASCARwas when they actually were more or less stock cars and Hudson Hornets were kicking Big 3 butt. And yes, there are definite analogies to be drawn here to jazz fandom, but I'll leave that to you...
