Paypal? Oh, dear. That's making it too easy.

Fully in agreement with Hans' recs. For me Aftermath is their greatest album, followed by Between the Buttons. All of the early pre 65 is good too. Particularly Red Rooster. That was the first time I'd ever heard that. Goin' Home on Aftermath ranks up there for me. Not mentioned here but Their Satanic Majesties Request while ok was just a Sgt. Pepper clone, not really worth buying.

I guess I'll stick with my old copy.

Check ebay completed auctions. You never know.

Funny you should mention it, cuz Bernie and Waymon sound like musical soulmates. How long before we get a collaboration? I wonder if John Stirling (voice of the Yankees) likes Bernie's cd? I can hear it now "Burn, Bernie, burn."

I think the question is who is the most influential musician of all time. I couldn't pick one, I'd have to pick three: Armstrong, Duke and Parker. I believe they changed our music the most.

That's a double no. I guess she spent her time in the slammer listening to a lot of jazz.

I tell you I wasn't too happy for the Met fans rooting for Utley's streak to end. I would have liked to see it continue. It would have been something if he could have gotten past Rose's 44 so he just had 12 games to go.

Guy's just a cheater. This is a sport that needs to be really cleaned up or they need to make the Tour less demanding.

Less than a day to go.

Has any of this ever been issued before and how does one order it?

Don't know if this has been on but here's an old one of Dizzy,

I saw the Marlins the last few nights as they were playing the Mets. If they hadn't gotten off to such a terrible start -- people were picking them to lose over 100 -- who know what kind of race we'd have. A very excting team. Next year should be interesting in the NL East.

Who's playing trombone in So What?

If you want my opinion, the whole NL is pretty pathetic and that sort of includes my team, the Mets. Yes, they're a good team but great no and as good as some of the AL teams, I don't know.

That's a very strange song.

I don't Abreu think is such a hot deal for the Yanks. What does he have: all of 8 HRs. And he does walk a lot. For somebody who was counted on in Philly, that's pretty awful. To leave the RBI up to somebody else is not something to give Yankee fans confidence (as if I care).

I never saw him nor have I ever heard him (my loss) but the sound must be distinctive. RIP.

Looks like this could be a struggle for the Sox now to even make the playoffs.

He wasn't too worried about the Jews when it came to the Passion of the Christ so I'm not sure he's concerned about the bottom line that much.

That's a very good price. A couple of years ago I mentioned here that the Jazz Record Shop had one for $450 and it was quickly snapped up.

I have the complete Charlie Parker Bird's Eyes (22 Cds) on Philology on Ebay right now at a reasonable opening price, no reserve. I also have the Complete Monk on Prestige on Ebay, also at a low price.

I just heard that the Mets lost Duaner Sanchez for the year in a car accident. That's going to be a major crimp in their prospects in the post season.

Sorry but you're wrong. Left side of the infield is home grown. Valentin signed through free agency (but nobody wanted him). Catcher, right fielder and first base from trades. Third, fourth and fifth starters free agency (where again nobody wanted them) or trades. They've signed a couple of big names (Pedro, Beltran and Glavine) but that's how you build teams: home grown, trades and free agent signings.

well, here's one reason: the Tigers are the best team in baseball right now, the Twins are right behind them and they are playing each other right now, yet who is on the national ESPN game tonight? the Yankees!! Who was on the Fox game yesterday? The Red Sox! Yes, it's not the teams' fault, but I hate it when the networks always show the same teams every week! Do they actually think everyone east of California wants to see these same teams week after week? What does it take to put the Tigers or Twins on the game of the week? And the Mets have always been a favorite team to hate. Just because they are the Mets! One of the greatest baseball moments for me was Sept 99 when Chipper single-handedly eliminated the Mets from the NL East race (kinda like Beltran is doing now to the Braves!) That's a fact of life about the networks wanting east or west coast teams. As far as the Tigers this is the first time they've been good in about 30 years so I don't there is going to be a huge outpouring for the Tigers. If they play well for a couple of years, well, maybe. As for the Twins, they're a small target team, not much following I'd bet outside of the midwest or Minnesota. Rather be hated than ignored
