very cool to see the European and Asian membership (although I have always been suspicious of those Antarcticans ...) wonder if the scales will start to tip as we drag our asses out of bed?

I keep coming back to this box, more so than any in recent memory. Miles and McLaughlin are in such great form throughout (plus this significantly expands the amount of McLaughlin available from this era). Sure, it is a bit tedious to listen to straight through. I loaded the whole thing on itunes and created a few of my own playlists. For example: Willie Nelson [Take 3] Johnny Bratton [Take 4] Archie Moore Go Ahead John [Part Two B] Duran [Take 6] Honky Tonk (Take 2) Little High People [Take 8] The Mask (Part One) Ali [Take 3] This makes it a little more digestable ...

But did it? I seem to remember coming across a stupidly high-priced lp of this album a few years ago?

yeah, I got this one too (the McDuff), was hoping it would be closer to Moon Rappin' which is one of the least deep fried McDuff lps, but outstanding nonetheless ... as you suggest, it is a little disappointing ...

yes, I must know too ... I am gonna be out that way next week ...

Once was all it took, huh? B-)

BTW - the Mecca of BBQ (and I won't bother to add the polite but insincere "in these parts" ): http://www.arthurbryantsbbq.com/

There is a BBQ thread somewhere on this board, you will probably find it entertaining. I think there are some regional rivalries Yes, the rub is the way to go ...

Sold!!! Will send PM ...

I live in the US and for me it is India (out of the four foreign countires I have visited). Fascinating on multiple levels ...

My son is 13, has been doing the private thing for about three years too. I brought hom electric over Christmas. I went with the Vox AD15VT, the little brother of the one AB is talking about. He loves it ... http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--VOXAD15VT

Yes, especially since more and more of the "underlying sessions" are reissued on CD. Perhaps these are being sold with the original bubble-wrap???

Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me (sorry, got that off TV).

I grew up in Wichita when this was going on ... pretty chilling at the time, although it still is. I am glad for the families that they caught this guy. Why do these guys so often otherwise seem "normal" ...

No man — not possible. We've been house-hunting for way too long now, and in a seller's market no less. Oh, wait. Wuzzat? ouch, but hopefully it is leading to what will be a happy home good luck!!!! I've bought five of them ... always thought I was in a buyer's market and felt like I overpaid each time ... but made money selling the first four ... it is hard to see that when you are in the heat of it though ... B-)

yes and otherwise experience a happy REALITY with family, friends, co-workers (as necessary ) ...

Dude, you are my new hero

not me the whole thing seems pretty absurd to me why don't we have a TV show celebrating the best teachers of the year? or most impactful charities? or spiritual leaders? of course I know why we don't and that's why I don't give a crap about the Oscars ...

Anybody have the new McDuff? Wondering how it compares to Moon Rappin'? Thanks

they are yours - send me your address in a PM ...

up (or down, whatever ...)

so when is the two year aniversary party??

damn fine ... list

The Coltrane and Wes tapes?
