  5. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4748292.stm Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal. The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders. They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi. "We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said. Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat. "When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up". Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case. "They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.
  6. You would be quackers not to -_-
  7. You should seek out later Mal - after his breakdown and recovery. The later stuff is wonderful.
  8. from this site http://www.salinger.org and its FAQ page Is he still alive? Salinger is still alive and living what some have called a "reclusive" life. He has been seen and surreptitiously photographed for Time and People magazines, among others. He lives in the same house he bought back in 1953 in Cornish, New Hampshire. We are loathe to include that bit of information here, lest people go to bother him there, but the town has become so associated with him, and his residence there so publicized, that not including it would be a disservice.
  9. dunno but its 2.54 long
  10. i had bossa nova soul samba by Ike Quebec Was he a visionary or what...he is ahead of these new guys with added nova AND samba - anything less would be like mp3 ripped at 45k yuk!
  11. I have had Reflections for some time now and love it to bits. I also have many of Mal Waldron cds from Prestige (had the lps before too). Loved to listen to them for another view on life.

    its them bloody geeks again
  13. I hate to sound completely ignorant, particularly as a) an English major, and b) one who loves Salinger's writing, but did he pass on? Do you mean did he die? Nope do not think so Andy
  14. dunno I will still have lots of blue notes etc (as long as they do not all rot) and if I am honest when I am there I hope I have learnt to appreciate more of what I have and crave less for what I do not Music wise of course! and yes I am being smarmy but sometimes I miss having the old cds back out and have a delve into nostalgia. Yes sure I have a zillion and one ways to access mp3 etc but sat with a mosaic box or a pile of Sonny Clark cds is my idea of heaven. Spent years building my collection....got 98-99% of what I wanted originally and found new stuff many times over...have I listened to all of it (sssshhh- no I ain't...got years left though) In the future we will probably demand more, instant supplies and there I fear they will have us over the barrell as we crave a copy of a rare Kenny Burrell session and the big boys say - help yourself - download or what ever for $5 and its yours for a year and then its gone.......that is what I fear. As for crappy quality Cds David- I dunno........I had a whole stash of records- some lovely, some even lovelier, some - well they were cheap . Maybe save my old Japanese Blue Notes I do not miss em any more if I am honest. I have the same on cds now save the odd one I never wanted and do not miss it. I do prefer to have a retail cd though as a cdr misses artwork and notes although comes a close second if it ain't on cd yet Quality products in my collection, probably like yours I cherish as I did within my record collection. I treated my Box set of the Other Side of Blue Note from Japan with reverence, same with my Tina Brooks mosaic set but as for the old tatty 70's Blue notes...well I had em but they were not as nice. Its the same with cds in my opinion... I picked up the rare tracks 4 cd japanese blue note thing (along the same line as the box set above but for the 4000 series.......) not as nice? Uhmmm yes and no in different ways Where was I ? Ok ranting maybe The Future mate will mean mega corps getting more of you dough for less foot tappin music thats for sure and it sure has gotta sving man
  15. It is very nice and well worth a reissue ( in of of course my humblest of opinion) Nice selection of different material that I am eternally grateful to have found.
  16. hmmmmmmmmmm
  17. then that would push me to Sonny Rollins but he was born in 1930 wasn't he?
  18. Actually , thinking about it again I would go with Johnny Hodges perhaps...ooooohh now I am being indecisive
  19. charlie parker?
  20. I am devastated (and hungry now) Off for more revision
  21. I remember him talking on the radio BBC Radio 3 and he mentioned John Coltrane as his inspiration etc...is that right...do I get the chocolates?
  22. I know we have a youtube thread but saw this and thought it needed special attention Lots of organ stuff here enjoy wallow etc
  23. listened to this again last night and yes I feel it is much more Larry Young than Patton. Did enjoy it though and read references to it in the Sharon Green book . The sound ain't so good on my copy ( 32 jazz) but it still cooks! As a quick test I whipped it out and shoved in the Grant Green His Majesty King Funk from verve with Larry Young and it sounded just like the Iron City combo..... mind you I have been wrong about it for this long (never noticed it before )
  24. Gosh Next thing they might ask for a cuddle (eeewww!) Thin end of the wedge I am afraid Get yer ya yas out...(musically speaking of course!) would be my next request
  25. humbled by praise (with head in virtual 'e' record bin waiting for next challenge!) Actually this is kind of fun.....who is next? I guess I miss the ol days when I used to have records *sniff* and rooting through record collection praying for a new find but this internet stuff sure comes a close second.
