I have one of the Cray Hightones on Vinyl. It would be nice if the Cray/Salgado work saw the light of day. I like Salgado's singing plus he's a damn good harmonica player.

Is the Wilkerson 2cd CONN now lost to the ages?

His playing is just a bit too avant garde for me. Not that it's wrong it just doesn't work for me. Admittedly it worked better on "Blue Spirits" but I just don't like his sound - it sounds like fresh chalk on a blackboard to me. On "Night Of The Cookers" it just wasn't a good fit IMO. It just seemed like he was out of step with the rest of the group.

Nothing will ever diminish Diz's music as far as I'm concerned but Diz the person got diminished in a hurry.

James Spaulding wrecked "Blue Spirits" for me and he wrecked "Night of the Cookers".

Belated Happy Birthday Couw !!!

When I lived in Arizona somebody told me about a diver who went to check out a car wreck that was in Roosevelt Lake,spotted a catfish that was as big as the car and got the hell out of there and that was long before there was an internet. Catfish can grow to be huge especially in larger bodies of water. I bet there are some in the Mississippi River that are gigantic.

Happy Birthday Dmitry.

Happy Birthday Ghost !!!

Happy 79 to Jimmy. Does anybody know how he's doing?

Happy birthday Deus!!!!

Mingus is one of those guys that I really haven't gotten into-that is until I checked out MINGUS AH UM and got absolutely floored!!!! These recommendations will help me get further up to speed.

As much as I dont want to I'm inclined to agree with RDK but if it's money for the estate than that's ok.

Which ones Chuck?

Alison hopefully you will find a doctor(s) who knows whats going on and give you some answers and some peace because god knows you deserve it. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you.

I saw the Butterfield group with Bishop, Mark Naftalin,Phillip Wilson,Dave Sanborn,Gene Dinwiddie and Keith Johnson. Not much jamming per se but it was a super show.

I suppose I deserved that.

Does anybody have any information on Wes playing a gig in Phoenix,Arizona prior to his passing?

Rainy it's a guy thing but I understand why you don't approve. In fairness to my fellow male posters I do think that for the most part they do a good job of getting past the superficial and judging artists on their individual merits. FWIW I don't miss the babe thread. Now don't get mad Rainy but can Rachel Ray actually cook?

Too many Birthdays-I can't deal!!! . Seriously-Happy Birthday!!!

Love your avatar. Come around more often. Happy Birthday.

Your realitively close to Taos. I'll be there tomorrow. Any cool record stores?
