The Magnificent Goldberg

Bill has another out on Doodlin' Jazz Another I will be getting in the new year. MG

Come on, Cootie's 1944 band was incredible! I can see you're not going to include "Cherry red" in your blues project, Allen MG

Thanks Hans. I did get a MS update when I conected this morning, so it looks like I'm covered. MG

Yesterday morning there was a report on BBCTV that a bunch of Chinese had hacked into a back door of Internet Explorer and could access all your codes and passwords etc. So my wife and I lept off the web all day, waiting for a TV announcement that it was OK now. Phoned my ISP last night to be told that the BBC hadn't reported it (!) and they didn't know anything about it. Took a chance this morning and found via Google an article in The Times to say it was only IE7 and that my wife's machine was OK, because she's running Vista. Also advising a number of changes to security settings in IE7, which I did. So then I tried to access my mailbox and got a message to say that it didn't like my security settings and would I please do this that and the other to them? So I did, wondering if I'd have to do that to every site I visited, but no, I got in here without any trouble. But it seems to me that the changes I made at Yahoo's request might have fucked up the security settings I upped earlier - in other words, using the internet at a security level consonant with avoiding this hacking problem is actually impossible from a practical point of view (at least in IE7). So I'm considering going over to Firefox. A number of questions: Can I import all my favourites from IE7 into Firefox, or will I have to start from scratch? (I assume the former, since the favourites are in Windows Explorer, too.) What do I need to run Firefox? What kind of Firefox do I need? Any help on these issues would be most welcome indeed! MG

I've seen those traffic lights before, but can't remember where. Where did you find that Aggie? MG

Thank you Cyril MG

I just picked this up. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/dec/1...vey-graham-dies I bought that first recording he made "3/4 AD". Always liked it, though I'm not really on that wavelength. RIP MG

I must get me some more Fred Anderson - only have the Velvet Lounge Delmark CD. So thanks for this Paul. Are there two Anderson albums called "Missing link"; one on Nessa and the other on some other label? The Anderson I've been vaguely thinking about is the one with Hamid Drake, on Eremite, I think, with the picture of them sitting together looking extremely mellow. Can't remember the title. How would you rate that against the ones you've listed? (silly question, but...) MG

That's correct - I believe it's a Fresh Sound pressing from the 1980s. Sounds pretty good too ! (Paid about £3 for it) I think mine was somewhere about that mark when it came out. MG Hah! Just dug mine out. Clifford's right. Mine was issued by EMI-Odeon SA, Madrid, but there's a sticker on it saying "reissued and distributed by Fresh Sound Records". And the label says "Fabricado en Espana by Discos CBS SA". But it's also got a little JASRAC logo on it, which was Japanese, I think. So it's got nearly everyone's fingers on it, this one. Even better is Sonny Criss' "Criss at the crossroads", which I just dug out. That's copyright 1959 & 1986 MCA Records SA, A Warner Communications Company (!) Special edition of WEA Records SA, by Fresh Sound Records. But again, manufactured by CBS Spain. This one doesn't have a JASRAC logo, though. By 1987, Fresh Sound weren't saying anything about the majors on the Criss "Live in Italy", which was of course an original FSR. And it was manufactured by Sonic SA. MG
