here's the "child's play" date. maybe not a great date, but a pretty good one.

mek we dweet!

aptly named outfit. one can only hope their gigs feature this opening act: it works for me!

ahhh, lp facsimiles!!

i believe the less expensive cd is a 1999 reissue from germany. the other, more expensive disc, is a japanese remastered version released earlier this year.

Let me be the first to wish my friend Kevin a Happy Birthday! Here's to that computer-geekin', hybrid-drivin', wine-and-beer-sippin', SACD-lovin', CanAm-storin', jazz fan and all-around good guy!

I had a great time at the Jazz Showcase jams hosted by Ira Sullivan last time, and I hope he'll be back again this year. Let me know if you're planning to attend the festival and maybe we can hook up.

tsk, tsk. think nothing of it. btw, the concord/fantasy box set will be 3 cds. stitt recorded a lot more music for prestige in the late 40s-early 50s, so obviously there's more material on it than those 40 tracks.

perhaps you'll believe the n.y. times: Couple Tried to Hire Man to Kill Family, Police Say By TERRY AGUAYO Published: June 3, 2006 MIAMI, June 2 — A couple have been charged with trying to hire a hit man to kill their daughter-in-law, granddaughter and two step-grandchildren to prevent them from testifying at their son's rape trial. "We've had murder-for-hire cases in the past, but we've never had one where grandparents wanted to murder their innocent grandchildren," said Sgt. Christie Mysinger, a spokeswoman for the Lake County Sheriff's Office. "That just blows your mind." The police said that on Tuesday the couple went to a Best Western motel in Tavares, about 35 miles northwest of Orlando, to meet a man they thought was the hit man but who was actually an undercover officer. The couple were charged with four counts each of criminal conspiracy to commit murder and are being held without bail. The couple's 31-year-old son has been in jail since November and is awaiting trial on charges of sexually assaulting his 10-year-old daughter and 16-year-old stepdaughter. The family members' names are being withheld to protect the children's identities. While in jail, the authorities said, the couple's son told other inmates that he was looking for someone to kill his family and that he had outside help in hiring someone. One of the inmates alerted the authorities. Detectives immediately suspected the parents, the authorities said, and two undercover deputies arranged the meeting at the motel. No charges have been filed against the couple's son for his involvement in the plan, Sergeant Mysinger said. "We're talking to witnesses and tidying up our case before we file charges against him," she said. According to the arrest report, once the couple arrived at the motel, the woman offered $100 to the undercover officer while her husband waited outside. The woman called the $100 "a token" and promised more money upon completion of the crimes. She was arrested when she turned over the money and asked that everyone living in the house be killed. Her husband was arrested outside the motel. The police said they thought the total amount to be paid for the killings was $400.

okay, okay. it was me! i confess! damn, after 52 years i thought i'd finally escaped that rap!

with that logic, then this guy certainly is...oh hell, never mind.

that's hank kimball
