Perhaps the $60 billion is for the entire class and Chet Baker's estate is just the named plaintiff acting on behalf of the class.

Today is unfortunately a sad day in the annals of music: the day John Lennon died. Continue to rest in peace and continued thanks.

The problem is we break so many oaths

You don't want too too much do you

I started to listen to this tonight and thanks Durium: beautiful music. I'm not sure I would hazard any guesses although on the early tracks I'm thinking Django on one and Slam Stewart on another. Found track 2 very contemplative; no idea who however.

I don't know about the RVG but wasn't there a few Columbia CDs a couple of years back that had the tendency to really screw up your computer. I remember a Dexter cd being one of them, maybe Manhattan Symphony or something like that.

Thanks for posting Brownie. Isn't David Weiss a member here?

Steak and sausage on the grill, even though it's snowing

I went and looked at the FIFA rankings and I have to agree: Group B looks tough. So you agree with yourself. That's good. Sorry meant Group G :blush2:

Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if any of these are repressings because I saw a Dizzy set and I think it may be similar to one I bought several years ago. As I'm not home right now, I need to check.

Interesting articles. Thanks for posting. Slightly off topic but a few years ago the Times ran a fascinating series on how Steinway makes its pianos.

There's a site that coordinates online auctions; I think its called onlineauctioneers.com or something like that. Auction houses usually charge a twenty percent buyers fee on top of the final price.

Maybe that's the update.

I can't speak for the other stores here in Jersey but at Rockaway, there was a customer who used to trade in a lot of his jazz cds and I picked quite a few good things at cheap prices.

Just got an email saying they're increasing the discounts to 50%!

Agreed. Wouldn't these look good in your collection

No excuse this time. Only 3 teams of formation dustbins would be easier.. That's not very nice. Are you saying we can't play football worth a darn . I went and looked at the FIFA rankings and I have to agree: Group B looks tough.

I wonder if the seller realistically thinks anyone will bid or he's just taking a shot in the dark.

I don't know about Group G being the Group of Death; I think Group B could be very tough. The Group of laughter (for lack of a better term) looks to be Group H; Spain look to have it easy (fortunately). As the Number 1 ranked team, I guess you're supposed to get a few bennies.

I listened to some of the music samples. Nice playing. Interesting titles to some of the songs

That was and has been a sticking point.

You didn't write that did you Allen Very nice, seriously.

What a voice. Not too effete, right Jim I had major crushes on her when I was a teenager in the 60s in those Muriel ads.

Summer of 1949 was a wonderful book, a good read (as just about anything Halberstam did). Bill James is not one of my favorites so I wouldn't give much credence to what a statistic obsessed person like him had to say about one of our great journalists.

Didn't know we took 'em that seriously.
