David, I hope you and your family are bearing up, and I'm just selfish enough to be damned glad to see you back!

Deus, I've never before regretted the admonishment not to give live bunnies as pets on Easter...

Ouch!

Thirty years! Wow...as this is my most vivid high school sports memory, I guess I can no longer claim to be "prematurely balding", eh? I've seen the television replay of this, but never really enjoyed it as I didn't see it on TV the night it happened, as I was at my after-school job. It was just the radio for me. Back in the late eighties a friend gave me one of those "talking baseball card" players with, among others, the Aaron card, and that had the radio call on it. I swear, it brought tears to my eyes to hear it again. Chrome, I hear you about what Aaron went through. I was old enough to know about the death threats and all when he was going through it, but of course didn't realize the extent of the problem until I read the book. But when I think about Aaron integrating the South Carolina minors...well, not to be disrespectful, but Jackie Robinson doesn't seem quite as brave, you know? I agree that Aaron doesn't get the respect he deserves, just as Roger Maris didn't. The "Holy Ruth" is not to be taken lightly...

I think quite a few have difficulty hearing his playing over the volume of his mouth. As for me, I picked up a Wynton disc early in my jazz listening, but just didn't connect with it. It didn't sound particularly awful or anything, just didn't move me. Now, after all the Wynton discussions I've heard and read (both "from" and "about"), I really don't think I could give his music a fair chance anyway.

Lee Ritenour. Stanley Clarke's stuff as a leader. I really should get rid of those discs. But then I personally think that's because my taste developed...

Just the T/K/M set by itself here. Here's hoping nothing hits "running low" for a while, so I can wait until the "summer load up" sale...

I'd be pissed! On the other hand, I'd also be on eBay, writing up this rare, in demand variation!

I think sums it up perfectly...

I'm embarrassed to say this is the position I'm in at the moment , I keep trying to cut down on my purchases but this internet makes it sooo difficult. This all sounds so familiar...

Wish this thread had been around BEFORE I ordered...of course I can always order again; at the very least the Ivan Rosenberg has my curiosity hopping up on it's cat feet... This is the best of the batch from my order... Andy McWain Quartet: Starfish

Bruce's post reminds me... Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker) /Parliament

I dunno; what instrument does he play?

Positive...I don't have it either!

I used to wonder why my father would waste time in the afternoon with a nap. At 46, I'm beginning to understand...

Bet that one gets edited!

Not this time, Sandy!

Same here, Bol.

Yeah, that's a big mistake us "old farts" make sometimes; since we were intimidated by "out" stuff at first, we assume they will be as well, and end up avoiding the very stuff that would pull them in!

I keep thinking the J. J. set has got to be getting close, and in fact already bought it based on that, but it still keeps hanging in there!

I don't know if this really qualifies in the sense we're talking here, but how about Frank Sinatra/Nelson Riddle?

One word: Sousa!

Okay, well, that's a good point...

Brandon's pulling your leg, Berigan. That's the famous Hubble photograph of the Tree Nebula, located in the summer sky in the constellation Abboreal.
