Got to agree with both of these. "Hot and Cool" is quite worth getting, particularly for Carl Perkins, and "This Time the Drum's On Me" is VERY worth it. I'm with the school of thought that says since there's so little mid-50's Dexter on record, one might as well get it all.

I had no idea... Glad to hear it was caught in time and that you are recovering. My very best wishes go out to you! (And congrats on getting the Anita O'Day box! It's a keeper!)

Take a leaf from Lisa Simpson's book: "Coltrane"

Mobley

Love the bottom pictograph one. Kind of says it all.

Wonderful! Congrats and best wishes!

No, I don't have a single favorite. Too hard to choose.

I find myself recognizing a lot of his photos, but must admit to being only vaguely aware of the name.

"334" by Thomas Disch. Hardly sf at all. Also "The Space Merchants" by Pohl & Kornbluth. Might be too "sci-fi" for you though, as it presents a nightmare future in which corporations and manipulative advertising have taken over society, and we all know that couldn't happen, right? Then there's that OTHER Edgar Pangborn post-apocolyptic novel, "Davy," which is so light and happy that it hardly qualifies as dystopian, despite the setting. It almost makes you wish you could be lucky enough to live in such a world.

BTW, since when is sex an "addiction"?

Night of the Singing Dead

Probably.

I'd give my left nut to have Tiger and Jack go toe to toe, both their primes, using today's equipment. That's the only way the "who's best" argument can ever be resolved. I'd even throw Hogan or Bobby Jones into that mix. If you've ever seen either of their swings, you know why. Oh, most definitely throw in Ben Hogan! Can't forget him.

I don't care what anyone says, I still like Kind of Blue.

Yes! But no doubt I'll be getting this Select, despite the overlap with my collection.

"59"???? That's just not right. BTW, Al Green did a nice cover of "The Letter" way back when.

When I was a little kid I used to get Daniel Boone and Davey Crockett mixed up. (The former was a "man---was a big man," the latter was king of the wild frontier. That's the way to keep'em straight.)

I also really dig the Conn. 10", Tom. A friend was good enough to burn me a copy of Frivolous Sal.

Just got At Ease with Coleman Hawkins from Newbury Comics. If they want to sell jazz albums for very low prices, I'm happy to take advantage.

I always thought it was a little strange how he and brother James Arness don't appear to have any family resemblance to one another, at least to my eyes. Could they have been adopted? But then I suppose brothers don't have to look like each other.

Don't make me gag-gag.

More Dexter. Still liking it.

A CD of Art Pepper's The Way It Was! Really something of a compilation album, but a very fine one. I've had it on vinyl for ages and have been meaning to get a CD of it for some time now. Ordered this from Newbury, oddly enough...

He wasn't a part of the main story, he had a supporting role - he played the companion of an elderly clinic patient who doesn't really want sex as often as modern chemistry creates the ability, and it turns out neither one really wants sex but thinks the other one does. And then House figures out that they aren't even married but are carrying on an affair. Pretty funny, as I recall. Yep, I definitely missed that one.

That makes me like him even more!
