That Walter Bishop album is quite nice, though I like other stuff I've got of his better. Re Garnett: all I've got of his is on this Charles Earland - Slammin' & jammin' - Savant This is from 1997. Is it typical of his post 70s work, his pre-70s work or nothing else he's done? MG

I see you can get all three and a half CDs of MCS on Document from Amazon UK - but the DLs are a good bit more expensive than the CDs. Grrrrr! This is a bunch of gospel music that I've missed out on. I guess if you've got so many 78s of them, they must be pretty good, eh? MG

Basil Kirchin!!!! No. I don't think I really know what library recordings are, unless they're stuff Muzak used to rent out. I don't have any of those. Waiting anxiously to see what you've id'd. MG

12 – E-bow and "Please Send Me Someone to Love." It's not Frisell, is it? I appreciate the organist's enthusiasm. I'd like to hang out at the bar where this band plays. I don't know what E-bow is. It's not the Percy Mayfield song. Nor Frisell. 13 – The tenor-guitar unison isn't as together as it could be, but then again, that's not the point. Love the tenor's dark, acidic sound. Do I sense Pat Martino? And an electric piano along with the organ? This is fun. I don't THINK the piano's electric. I know the guitarist isn't Pat Martino. I'm pretty sure Martino hadn't made any records when this was done. 14 -- Didn't care for the vocal arrangement at first, but warmed to it after the words kicked in. The organist plays off of the arrangement beautifully. 15 – Some really beautiful blues from the tenor player. I mean really beautiful. I mean makes-my-day beautiful. Is that somebody like Grover Washington? The guitar player tries, but the tenor is the star. Not someone like Grover Washington. But he is the star of this. 16 – Sweet, but doesn't tell me as much as 15 did. Earl Bostic? I confess, I'm burned out on Fats Domino-style triplets right now. Oh well, sorry you're burned out on Fats type triplets. It's not Earl Bostic. 17 – Recorded on the cheap and the piano is skeevy, but these players mean every note. Nice. Thank you, MG! These will be staying on the MP3 player for quite a while after this month. Really glad you liked this stuff, Spoon. MG

I'm surprised there's no Michael Jackson in there - nor Supremes, Temps, 4 Tops, Springsteen, Madonna, Bee-Gees or Beatles. I WAS surprised to see the Inkspots in there, though. MG
