She must be three now! MG

Happens all the time. If the person is drunk, on drugs, driving on a suspended license, is on parole, is undocumented, they are likely to flee. Not to mention good old stupidity. You are right that it can be a stolen vehicle, and sometimes it is, but it is surprising the number of incidents like these that occur with cars that are not stolen. Ufortunately, this happens frequently around here. Six and a half million people are in the nine county Bay Area and a commensurate number of jackasses are part of the popluation. Ah yes! Turn themselves in when straight/sober. But get done for a much more serious crime. Jackasses indeed. MG

Oh, it's not something you can download, then. I certainly wouldn't get it for myself. Apart from "Stupidity" I've got all the ones I want on it. MG

Hey, has that got the great "Sock it to 'em J B pts 1 & 2" by Rex Garvin & the Mighty Cravers? MG MG CD List 1. Sock It to 'Em J.B., Pt. 1 - Rex Garvin, 2. Show Me - Joe Tex 3. Funky Street - Arthur Conley 4. See-Saw - Don Covay 5. Save Me - Aretha Franklin 6. Baby What I Mean - The Drifters 7. Things Get Better - Eddie Floyd 8. Cool Jerk - The Capitols 9.

Walkin' Up a One Way Street - Willie Tee 29. Open the Door to Your Heart - Darrell Banks 30. Sock It to 'Em J.B., Pt. 2 [instrumental] - Rex Garvin, Thaks SS1. A lot of that stuff is pretty duff. If you want to D/L one or two cuts, the one you MUST get is "Stupidity" - one of the great anthems of early (1963) soul. And of course "Sock it to "em, JB" BOTH parts. "Cry no more", if I recall, was pretty good too. I dare say you've got most of the other things on other compilations or whatever. MG PS Now I come to think of it, they missed a great one by not putting the A side of "Stupidity" on - "Can't nobody love you" - real heavy soul preaching. One of the 45s I most regret not keeping.

Thanks you all very much - that's very educative! MG

I can't imagine anyone doing that who wasn't in a stolen car - they'd be completely traceable through the license plate. MG

Sun Ra Ra Mu Sharles Earland

What's it conected to - the chimes? Yes - I used to have the 45 of "Guachi guarra" and liked it a lot. The only one of Cal's I've got now is "Huracan", which I think is fabulous. MG

We're off! As with the main disc, more bets placed with myself as to the outcome! MG

Here we go. I should mention that I've placed bets with myself as to who is likely to identify these tracks, so if, in response to a comment I go YEAHHHH!, you'll know I've got one right. MG

Put me down for the Onzy - wanted the LPs for a while. He did the arrangements on Groove Holmes' Warner Bros/Loma releases, in case that's been forgotten. MG

I've got this one, because Gloria Coleman is on one track. One I hardly ever play. MG

Robin Hood Alan-a-Dale Maid Marian

Oh dear - ordered "Blue John" and "Bottoms up". Couldn't resist. MG

Cab Calloway - The scat song - Quadromania - a fabulous intro to Cab's recordings. I love this stuff! MG

Bill Jennings Bill Jones Bob Azzara

The car was probably stolen. MG

I didn't know vibes had a motor. I just thought it was something you hit. What does the motor do? MG

Just arrived from CD Baby Got the Turner because Arnold Sterling is in the band. (Discovered it Googling for Arnold a while back.) Looking forward to hearing both of these. MG

Gil Scott-Heron Delmer "Mighty Mouth" Evans The Last Poets

I BET YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD TIME (far too good for a ninety-year-old). All the very best, though. MG

The Riddler Cat Woman The Joker

Thanks folks. I'm only getting occasional notifications of posts onto this thread, so I haven't seen anything since my last post 'til now. When I get back into proper jazz buying mode again, I'll go for those two recommendations. MG

AHHHH! I want that one! That's Earl Turbinton on sax - he was on Reuben Wilson's "A grovy situation". He played one of the most amazing and gripping solos I've ever heard at Professor Longhair's funeral. That's in the film "Piano players rarely ever play together". MG
