I nominate something you said here for the Organissimo Quote of the Year award: Sorry, this, and several other cuts, are a bit too much like jazz for my tastes. So soon? Well, it's true - I'm an R&B fan who likes SOME jazz a lot. Glad to see the thing works, anyway. MG

I still can't paste or upload a Word doc, but I THINK I can upload a .txt file. Here goes. BFT118.txt Seems to work... MG

Nice trifecta! Thanks. Usually, I get "nice try fella". Oh, it's an American gambling term, I see. Wondered why I'd never heard of it. MG Piano Red Speckled Red Rufus Gore

Oh, never HEARD of this - not even the label. MG I must try to get some Bootsie Barnes. I think he made three, all for his own label. Is this one of them? MG

I haven't got used to 2013 yet - it went by so quickly! Happy 2014 to all. MG

Thank you, Jeff. (Can't even upload a Word doc. Says I'm not permitted to do that.) MG

Oh shit, I can't paste on the board, still. Dammit. I've sent my answers to Jeff Crompton and asked him to post them for me MH

Concord. Well, it's a BAD reason, actually, but may be the truth. Fantasy didn't get around to a lot of stuff before the company was sold to Concord. I never heard any of those Galaxy albums of Red Garland. I guess they're good, eh? MG

None of the JJ & Kai albums crossed over and made the pop album charts, but it was popular all right. Kai had a hit album - 'More' - in 1963. Spent almost 6 months on the pop charts. MG

Yes, I forgot to put 'Swiss movement' down on my list. MG

Bloody breezy today. People's recycling blown all over the road. Gotta say thank you to the collection team who cleared it all up. MG
