Yeah. I know. I have quite a few of the early (King) lps and a lot of these tracks are on them. I really should check...maybe ALL of them are on those lps.

Will that TT work with any amp ? It was 2002 when I bought it and I can't remember what the salesman said about compatibility. I should think it'll play with almost anything, because I've only got a bog-standard cheapo amp. I've got a piece of writing about it somewhere and I could look something up, if you like. MG I'll PM you.

Bechet "Jazz Classics Vol 1" on late 50s Blue Note vinyl.

so where does the scarf go? What scarf?

One of the world's oldest magic tricks with the greatest distraction technique I've ever seen.

I'd like to see that also, but I think the Fat Cat material is being withheld by Fat Cat's estate. IF it does come out it will most likely be on Jazzology. Unless Disconforme' beats them to the punch.

Happy Birthday, Dan. And many many more.

Excellent. Of the same expected high quality as the tunes originally issued on lp. I didn't bother with the RVGs. I had the lps from back in the day and the Sermon and Houseparty issues with the additional tracks (which BTW sound fine to me.)

Straight Dewars with ice water for a chaser. I know...very common...but HEY...it's good.

"Peg" Bates. Did they call him that before they called him "Peg Leg"?

Re the Red Bull thing....I tried some for the first time two weeks ago during a long ride while going on vacation. I was driving, felt tired, stopped at rest stop and saw some and bought a bottle. To my surprise, it seemed to work. Didn't make me feel speedy or anything, but about a half hour after I drank it I was awake. I tried it again on the way back. Same thing. Now I was curious. Can this really work ? I'm ususally not effected by suggestion so I don't think that was it. But who knows? When I went back to my office another guy who went on vacation at the same time coincidentally related a similar story to me. I asked him if he thought it was for real. He said he thought so and some friends of his swore by it. I have a tendency to be skeptical about things like this, but I have to say this seemed to work and I'm interested in other opinions on it from people who have tried it.

Just saw this. Man! I 've heard how painful that can be. I'm glad you're feeling better.

It sure made me laugh !

ALLEN SAID: "I own some AMAZING reissues of 1920s Brunswicks, old Deccas, Victors from as early as 1925, things that would astound you, that are so clear you feel like you are in the same room. " Allen, would you say the "RCA Victor Encyclopedia of Recorded Jazz" is a good example of that? I would. I've had that set since I was a teenager and I still think the sound on that set surpasses most of what I've heard in reissues since.

Not on cd, but some of Sharkey Bonano's Capitol and Southland records have Abie as a drummer. Good Stuff.

I'm a bassist (electric), not a guitarist, but my solution to this is to keep one ax strung with flats and another with rounds. Curently the flats are fender 9050s (50-105) and the rounds are ghs boomers (45-105). Usually I gravitate towards the rounds, but now and then I get a jones to play the flats.

DEEP emailed me this clip about a week or two ago. I laughed MAO when I opened the email.

Interesting opinions from Kyo and Mikeweil. I find myself usually fine with discographical order, but with some material I cull favorites onto a compilation cd, particularly if there are a lot of alternate takes. It's very subjective. On some material that I am very familiar with over a long period of time where I listened to it on vinyl, I find myself missing the lp order and I sometimes recreate the lps onto cdr, trying for the best sound sources. Two I recently did that with were Bud Freeman's "Comes Jazz" and "Wolverine Jazz".

No salt. The thing is to buy the melon whole. The pre cut pieces may be old and the texture and flavor are shot. The past couple of years I've been getting the seedless whole and they have been GREAT!

It's time to bring this one up. Is this show kickin' ass or what!
