Man with the Golden Arm

the squirrels in my neighborhood are a tougher bunch.

How close were you to the loud guy in the audience whose screaming almost drowns out the band? man i remember when i got that box long ago ... pulled off my woofers and went in and strangled that guy - actually i just messed up his hair which really made him mad. WEEEHOOOOO!

a guy at work here, near forty, had been having throat probs with nasty halitosis and coughing up stuff and his regular doc couldn't figure it out. sure enough he's got to have them old tonsils yanked. my Mom had viral labyrinthitis last year and it goofed her up big time. feel for ya after hearing her stories. not to be outdone tho Dad scored a heavy duty case of "shingles" that still persists almost a year later. THAT is some crazy pain!!! Rod, that neighborhood you live in should help I would imagine.

thanks ... I had a few downloads left on a trial run and scooped the three blues from the "Jazz, Blues and Moore" album. I think some of the tunes on that goofy looking comp might be from the "Bedazzled" soundtrack. Your fellow countrymen over on the AAJ are no doubt singing praises and well they should after listening to "Sooz Blooz" just now.

Hans is not only watching baseball, but at 4:30 AM? Ball games are live on cable TV over here, but unfortunately (for me) mostly in the middle of our night... You clearly didn't take a peek at my profile His walk-off HR was amazing Console yourself in knowing that my 11 yr old daughter did not get home from Fenway til 1 AM. Her FIRST Sox game!!!! Having Manny and Papi et al... (two guys who's posters loom above her bed) get things rolling and finish it off like they did has turned her head around. One sweet game for the memories! Sure wished I'd been there. Now it looks like I might be needing to off some jazz to afford more tickets.

have a riot! something to read the politics forum by.

Just ran across a new release today that features a slew of folks having fun for the little ones. The art is not my cuppatea but the sounds sure beat Raffi with a switch. Courtesy of Rope A Dope rekkids: babylovesjazz! ... at least check Medeski etc on this one: duckellington and "organissimo" could do w/ a link there

One of the first 45's I ever bought!!! I remember sitting in front of the folks one piece "cabinet" and listening to the "stereo effect" like it was "Whole Lotta Love" or somethin'.

... at least in NYC you don't have to ask.

jeez you eee eww guys, doesn't that wolff have a wicked FN cool turntable thus enabling his superiority complex. bow down on your FNEEZ. Mel's probs are machts nichts.

and just when i thought they were finished!

I like the Frenchiness of this one - Mabern lays down beautiful groundwork and Shepp sours over the top just to keep you from making it background music. Kind of like taking a nice pee in the Tuileries.

just playing around with an e-music trial and lo and behold: Barry Adamson - 'Stranger on the Sofa' dwnld cut: "Who Killed Big Bird" - a big greasy boot in the tailfeathers did ...

only got a chance to set the hook once and she got away ... should have brought that lacrosse stick for a net ....

and no doubt she has a time with salmon chu-chi lime leaf but the finger lickin' thing i'd imagine makes it all moot.

Well every Hammond Forum needs it's proper footing. Zipped by here last weekend from this side whilst trying to nab some stripers with the fisherman next door (and btw his better half's footwear ARE jive-ass!) Link to the historical page: HAMMOND Organissimo owes itself a tour when on tour!

it's scary and you are never prepared when you drive into it and tune in to listen to the local weather and traffic announcements. believe you me last time i was there i waited in the rain for hours and you were late.

"wassat? tiger's 12 under ?? ... i have to pee"

I sold the Sony Japanese issue of Zorn's "Cynical Hysterie Hour" when I heard it was to be re-released by Tzadik on eBay for over $150!!!! I guess I was the former and the buyer the latter...

That warning is not strong enough!!! ooof ... Theisman... nice that LT was on top of the call for the medic.

NFL Hardest Hits looking for some Butkus (in here) and Jim Brown but check Earl Campbell schoolin' Isiah Robertson about halfway thru... he's not even at full steam.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family, Kevin. (My dad was also a lineman - Ohio Bell - and then long distance toll repair as well. Amazing that they could climb poles like a logger and get down and suture bundles of wire like a surgeon AND fix anything!!) Thanks for sharing your heartfelt memories.

i think it is Sep 26th ... so you'll just have to surprise that dog for his namesake's belated birthday.

the "LINK" sez it is and even shows a nice little quicktime in what looks to be finely restored glorious black and white. the Monk is even nicer "film-wise", but these are compressed and reduced so who knows about the graininess of the final product.

nice ... thanks LINK
