....you mean it hasn't been released on CD~

I thought Celeste may have been his wife or girlfriend !

...do you mean that Parlan is playing a celesta?

I read Straight Life years ago -- always said it should be subtitled "From Stan Kenton to San Quentin..."

....very sad but I would agree.

...funny how one simple question turns into a free for all ! Thanks Jim!

....Gil Melle'?

I feel so.......violated!

I've seen Ira several times over the past couple years playing in Chicago. Trumpet, tenor, flute....you name it, he plays it.....and well!!! Very friendly guy and always eager to help the younger musicians!

What about Ron Artest?

There will be several teams interested in Artest if the Pacers let him go; it seems crazy at this particular time but there have been players crazier than Artest (they didn't necessarily go into the crowd, which seems to be the "thing" that will hang him) that have gone on the market and been picked up. As all things do, this will blow over (it may take a while ) but there are teams out there that would take him. I do think he may have played his final game for the Pacers! Mark

That's Hollywood!

I've been listening to this RVG for the past 20 minutes or so as I've made my way through these posts. I like the recording a lot, but don't have anything to compare it to. Sounds pretty damn good for something recorded almost 51 years ago!

Now that's a hell of a first post . I'm sure Jim will be touched when he sees it!

I was wondering when someone would bring up Boots! I think my dad had that one also; don't know if I ever heard it though.

Who doesn't .

wow, cool....I did believe in god until a few minutes ago. Now that I see some celebrities and a few wanna-be celebrities don't, I think I'll change the way I look at things .

No sh**!

Dirty, Dirty, Dirty!

I jsut saw it on the local news.......WOW is right! Mark
