How about Roland Kirk's "Domino" on CD??

I have (or rather, at least had) two copies of "Lift Every Voice" on CD. I loaned one to a friend, who I think thought it was a gift - and now he's in Hong Kong for the next year, as his wife is now a dancer in the Honk Kong Ballet. But if it turns out that I still have two of these, one is most certainly yours, Conn500. I'll try to take a look for it sometime over the next week or so. Great disc, one that has grown and grown on me over the years.

How much are tickets??

I can see that by the time the Jack Johnson box comes out, that Borders will have probably had multiple training sessions for all their employees (along with retraining for the flunkies), on how not to accept this coupon, under even the most dire of circumstances. But I'm probably still gonna try anyway!!!

Shit.

You'll probably get a range of opinions about "Far Away Lands". I think it's a pretty good album, but not really quite in that "incredible" range. One of those things that's well worth picking up if you see if for anything less than $12, or perhaps even $14. Whether it's worth $18, however, really depends on how much you're into the specific sidemen on the album, and into other similar Hank LP's from the same general timeframe. If it's any help, I like both "Slice of the Top" and "Third Season" better than "Far Away Lands". I guess I'd probably give "Slice..." about 4 stars, and "Third Season" about 4.5 stars, and "Far Away..." only 3.5 stars (and I would understand if others only gave it 3 stars).

Well, I'm planning on trying to use the 40% off coupon on the new Miles "Jack Johnson" box next Tuesday. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't buy it for 6 months or more, since it's something that I know will be 'in print' for some time. But 40% off is too tempting not to try to go for.

YARRR. In honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day, waste time playing Popcap's Seven Seas: http://www.popcap.com/gameframe.php?theGame=sevenseas

They sound like they were lucky to have met each other. From the several times I've met and talked with Jason (usually only 5-10 minutes each time, always at gigs he's had here in Kansas City), and when I've exchanged a few e-mails with him (a couple times a year, at most) --- he strikes me as a very genuine, and genuinely very nice guy. I hope that they're very happy together, for a very, very long time.

Yeah, but are we there yet???

Call a vet, especially if the dog got hit in the face. Even if you don't take the dog into the vet, the vet may have some important advice to follow.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile:

Wow, I had not expected to have the board back up so quickly. Thanks Jim!!!! Free For All called me last night (we both live in Kansas City), and said: hey man, sumpthins gone real bad with the board. Well, I'm real glad it was so short-lived.

Do let us know how it turns out. We'll all be very interested to know!! - I'm sure.

Just testing the pic upload function...

I just noticed that the AAJ board is back up again, though it might just be for testing. The "front page" now says... FYI, the most recent post there (except for a couple posts just today, probably just within the last hour) dates back to 18-MAY-2003 11:51 PM, although it's possible there are some incremental backups they haven't applied yet.

Anthony Cox - Dark Metals (Antilles/Polygram 1992), with... Anthony Cox - Bass Dewey Redman - Tenor Michael Cain - Piano Billy Higgins - Drums, Guitar, Vocals Includes some of the best Dewey Redman on record, IMHO. I think a few others here have this CD as well, and can back this up. OOP probably, but highly recommended. (Yes, Billy Higgins really does play guitar and sing on this CD, on two cuts - both Brazilian folk tunes - and does so with great panash.)

Actually, I have given a passing thought to printing out color versions of the best covers from this thread, and sending them to Michael -- just for the heck of it. I probably won't, but the thought had crossed my mind, in terms of getting Michael to think again about the "Train Wreck", and "Chained", for possible release someday.

This is barely related at all (other than my question is, in fact, about "being related" to a famous jazz musician)... But I occasionally wonder what happened to Leon Henderson, Joe Henderson's brother - who played tenor on those two Kenny Cox BN albums in the late 60's. Were Leon and Joe at all close, and whatever became of Leon?? He was at least a decent player on those Cox LP's (and I think he was pretty interesting), and I would have liked to have heard more from him. The AMG only lists him as having played on both Kenny Cox LP's, and (straingly enough) one MC5 LP ("High Time", from 1971 --- BTW, I'm totally unfamiliar with MC5), and that's it. It also mentions that Leon worked with Kenny Cox, Charles Moore, Daniel Spencer, Ron Brooks, MC5 --- but it's too late for me to look up Moore, Spencer, and Brooks - to see if Leon is mentioned in any reviews of any albums of theirs (maybe I'll check tomorrow).

Well worth getting. Both the SQ and performances are excellent!!! $50 is a fairly decent price, though I've occasionally seen it go for closer to $40-$45 on eBay (not including shipping charges).

Anybody want to take this one on?? Andrew Hill - Chained (May, 1967), with... Ron Carter Teddy Robinson (dm) This session remains unreleased, although it was scheduled for release on King Records (out of Japan) as GXF-3080. I still often wonder about this session, and hope is does see the light of day sometime.

Maybe 5 or 6, definitely less than 10. Just some things I've stumbled on over the years, or were given by friends. I don't have a working turntable (and haven't for about 10 years), so my record (LP) collection is pretty small, maybe 100 to 125 records total.

How do you know the cost of baked goods at William Penn's family bakery? You check the pie rates of Penn's aunts.

A Pirate Joke A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and they take turns to tell their adventures on the seas. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, a hook, and an eye patch. The seaman asks "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?" The pirate replies "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off." "Wow!" said the seaman. "What about your hook"? "Well...", replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand off." "Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch"? "A seagull dropping fell into my eye.", replied the pirate. "You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously. "Well...", said the pirate, "..it was my first day with the hook."
