Do they really need to have those on fruit? Are cashiers so dumb they can't remember the code for a peach? They have to scan it... which leads into another story... Don't you hate checking out at a grocery and something doesn't scan... so the cashier just sits there and tries it 5 MILLION TIMES. TYPE THE DAMN CODE IN YOU MORON! What is wrong with people? Also, what's with not saying "Thank You" anymore? I buy $100 worth of groceries and the person doesn't even look me in the eyes, much less talk to me.

Don is the MAN! Another giant we lost too soon. He's really not on enough recordings, either. Have you got the Muse dates? Those are killer!

Scottb, I actually had to get on CDStreet's case about not shipping the discs. They are supposed to ship them within 48hours. I was pretty upset with the guy I talked to on the phone and it looks like the newer orders are getting shipped rather quickly. Sorry for the delay. I emailed Michael Ricci at AllAboutJazz about reviewing our disc, but haven't heard back from him. He's probably inudated with the BNBBers!

I agree with that logic.

Thanks Al!!! I appreciate your kind words. RDK, someone specifically asked for the Discography forum, so I think I'll keep that. I do like your idea of combining Re-issues and New Releases though... we'll see.

"Let's give Adam and Eve another chance to show us how to love one another"?!??!?! WHAT!??!

Got this in the ole inbox today... Good Lord, who comes up with this shit?

I haven't heard much Lucky Thompson. I have a McGriff record with him on it that's smokin! Any suggestions?

I think it's Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. What that name means, we'll never know. All of his hits had something to do with underage girls.

That begs the question: Do we want this to be primarily a jazz board, or is it a music board? If the latter, a misc. music thread is obviously not needed. But if we want it to be primarily a jazz board, then I can make a misc. music forum... no problem. Talk amongst yourselves!

Noj, The Mosaic box covers his Bluenote Quintet/Sextet dates. The records you have are from his later period on CTI. So there's no overlap. I would highly reccommend this box! Do they have samples up on the Mosaic page?

Sounds good...

Ah yes... forgot about that one...

He said that it was out in the last email I got from him. That would be neat if it's available via Cadence. You could always call them. I believe they have an actual print catalog they can send you. I still need to send them 25 of our discs... just haven't gotten there yet.

See, that's where I was coming from too. But I do a lot of highway driving at night and the stock lights on my '99 Voyager stink. These help immensely. If it helps me see better coming and going to gigs, I'm gonna do it!

Yeah, the stuff with Wes is fantastic. It's a shame they only did two records together.

Done and done! I think the suggestion for a seperate Politics forum is a good'un.

Hey thanks guys! I hope you enjoy it. Consider posting a review (good or bad) in these forums. Saint Vitus, yeah CDstreet ships them. It's just easier that way!

When were the tracks recorded? I haven't heard of this. Does it have stateside release?

Is there a discography of Patton anywhere? If not we should compile one!

Man, this thing just keeps getting better and better the more I listen to it. Funny story: I had this on my Christmas wishlist that I gave to my wife. Christmas morning came and went and no box. She kept saying "I couldn't afford it. I bought you this nice shirt and socks... don't you like them?" Big guilt trip. So we go to my sisters to have Christmas dinner with the extended family and the siblings exchange gifts (I have six siblings). Guess what one of my gifts was!!! OH I LOVE MY LITTLE SISTER! Who had help from my brother. And my wife was involved too! Tricky! Anyway, Stanley is my all-time favorite tenor player, bar none. This box ROOLS!

As a musician I would say CD-Rs if it's OOP or really hard to find. But that's just me. If you want to trade CD-Rs of in-print material, just do it via the PM fuction.

Well, it is our board afterall, so we have to have some marketing! You can check out our debut CD at the homepage... If ya like it, take it home!!! You can also use this particular forum to post a review if you have the disc. All comments welcome!

I'll have to check out the clips. It's called B3Bombers but there's only one organist? And no Dr. Lonnie Smith!?!?!

Berigan, I think what we should do as a community is have a poll asking "politics or no politics". This place is for you guys. I can do without politics too, but if enough people want it, then it's cool with me. I'll just stay out of it! Does that sound cool?
