Can anyone help me locate a copy of this 1998 Koch release featuring Ronnie Cuber with the Netherlands Metropole Orchestra? Thanks in advance.

maybe because he's not. that's just my personal opinion, and you're certainly welcome to disagree.

well, i didn't want to mention it, but the connoisseur is also available used online for under $10.

forgive me, but is anyone really going to spend $18 for the connoisseur of Little Johnny C. when they can buy the rvg for $10?

not once, since i got neutered.

allow me to put on my shrink suit for just a minute. some parents make the mistake of thinking that if they disguise a serious conversation, their kids won't be affected by it. the trouble is, children are very good at picking up the stress or the emotional tone of the problem their parents are discussing. what they're left with is the sense that something is wrong, but they have no idea what it is. that's a recipe for fear, helplessness, and anxiety. i'm not saying you should treat children like adults. instead, sometimes its good to let them know you're going somewhere to discuss "some grownup things" together. that's often enough information for the younger ones. if they ask "what kind of grownup things?" you might say just a word or two, like "about money," or something else that's relevant but age-appropriate. always reassure them that you're talking "to make things better." that gives kids a valuable lesson that if you have a problem, you work together to solve it. of course, it's up to each couple to decide what's best for their family. however, we frequently see children in therapy because they're upset about things happening in the family that have been kept hidden "to protect the kids."

actually, it's on the HighNote label, not Uptown. B-)

for those who might not follow links: Report: Chappelle Checks Into Facility May 11, 10:13 PM EST The Associated Press Comedy Central star Dave Chappelle has checked himself into a mental health facility in South Africa, the magazine Entertainment Weekly reported on Wednesday. The comedian's whereabouts and condition have been unknown since Comedy Central abruptly announced last week that the planned May 31 launch of the third season of "Chappelle's Show" had been postponed and production halted. Chappelle flew from Newark, N.J., to South Africa on April 28 for treatment, said the magazine, quoting a source close to the show it would not identify. Entertainment Weekly said it had corroborating sources for its story. "We don't know where he is," Comedy Central spokesman Tony Fox said. "We've heard about South Africa. We don't know. We haven't talked to Dave." Chappelle's spokesman, Matt Labov, would not comment on the magazine's story. "It seems like the issues he's contending with are really quite serious," said Dade Hayes, a senior editor at Entertainment Weekly. "It isn't a case of him spending a weekend someplace recuperating from exhaustion." The magazine's sources say Chappelle is still in the facility, which was not named, Hayes said. Chappelle's representatives have denied that the comedian was abusing drugs. Chappelle reportedly signed a $50 million deal with Comedy Central for two more seasons of his show, a payday made possible because of the explosive sales of the show's first season DVD. The magazine said Chappelle had shot four to five episodes' worth of sketches for the new season, but none of its onstage introductions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I also want to wish this very talented individual all the best.

the word is "kifujin." here's a guide to the sounding out of vowels: A - Ta(da), ... I - (The letter) E, chief, (Spanish word) si U - you, to, true E - Thames (river), fetch, net O - No, pole, profession, ... (cut these sounds short) i read that all syllables receive the same amount of stress or emphasis. it's “yo-ko-ha-ma” not “yo-KA-HA-ma,“ and “mi-tsu-bi-shi” not “meats-U-bi-shi.” so, my only-so-slightly-educated guess at the correct pronunciation is: "kee-foo-jeen" i hope this helps, and congrats on your upcoming addition to your family.

Acording to the RIAA, "Bootleg recordings are illegal recordings of live or broadcast music." I don't see why Mike should change the title. It's obvious what he's looking for, and he's being honest and open about.

in that case, might i recommend this one?

here's my write-in candidate: for the youngsters, that's john mitchell, nixon's attorney general who was convicted of conspiracy and other charges connected to Watergate.

for those of you who missed the mosaic, collectables has reissued most of the dates included in the box set, albeit spread across several cds: Jimmy Giuffre Three - Atlantic 1254 (1957) The Music Man - Atlantic 1276 (1958) Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet - Atlantic 1238 (1956) contains The Four Brothers Sound - Atlantic 1295 (1958) contains Trav'lin' Light - Atlantic 1282 (1958) contains Western Suite - Atlantic 1330 (1958)

wilkerson died in 1986, so the b.b. king date could have been his last. i might be wrong, but i don't think fred "hootin and tootin'" jackson and fred jackson jr. are the same person (perhaps father and son?). the latter, whom you cited, is a very active r&b saxophonist who continues to record (his recent credits include earth, wind, and fire's 2004 release).

when you really think about it, we're all black, since the first humans evolved in africa about 2 million years ago.

sorry to break the news to someone born twenty years after the fact, but zeppelin is considered one the original heavy metal bands.

I'm not sure if anyone else will find this local tale of "dis-organzied crime" as amusing as I do. Anyway, here it is: Police Arrest Men Who Claimed To Find Buried Treasure LAWRENCE (AP) -- Two men who made national headlines by claiming they found a buried treasure in a back yard were charged Friday with stealing the collection of old currency from a house where they were working. Days after Barry Billcliff, 27, of Manchester, N.H., and Timothy Crebase, 22, of Methuen, went on the circuit of national TV shows to tell their tale of finding the stash have now been charged with receiving stolen property, conspiracy and accessory after the fact, Methuen Police Lt. Kevin Martin said. The arrest, in fact, interrupted their planned appearance Thursday night on ABC’s "Jimmy Kimmel Live" because they were being booked by police around the time the show was airing. They were to have been interviewed from the yard where they claimed they had found the money while digging. They were to be arraigned Friday morning in Lawrence District Court. Crebase told investigators the men found the money in the gutter of a barn they were hired to repair in Newbury, police said. "We got an anonymous tip two days ago," Capt. Kris McCarthy told the Eagle-Tribune newspaper of Lawrence. "These guys are roofers. They found the money on the job site. The story after that was all made up." The men said they found 1,800 bank notes and bills dating between 1899 and 1928 while digging in the yard of the house Crebase rents. The materials had a face value of about $7,000. Domenic Mangano, owner of the Village Coin Shop in Plaistow, N.H., examined the find and said the currency was authentic. He gave varying estimates of its worth, ranging from $50,000 to $100,000. The men’s stories, though, attracted suspicion because of discrepancies. The depth of the buried crate, for example, ranged from 9 inches to 2 feet. The men also gave conflicting reasons for digging in Crebase’s yard. They told one reporter they were preparing to plant a tree. In other reports, they said they were trying to remove a small tree or dig up the roots of a shrub that was damaging the home’s foundation. Even Billcliff’s name was the subject of confusion. He complained to the Eagle-Tribune that some media had misspelled it Villcliff, but told The Boston Globe that he had purposely given the wrong spelling so that "people wouldn’t try to track me down or come looking for me." Billcliff insisted the discrepancies in the story of how the money came to be found could be explained. "It’s like watching a car accident," he told the Eagle-Tribune. "Sometimes someone will say something and someone else will say something slightly different, but mostly it’s the same." Christine Tetlow, of Manchester, N.H., who identified herself as a longtime friend of Billcliff, defended him. "They did not steal this money," she said. "He’s the nicest guy in the world. He’d give the shirt off his back to anybody. If you need money, he’ll be the first person to step up and give it to you and never ask to get it back." "I guess that 15 minutes of fame" did them in, Tetlow said. The men made several appearances on national television this week, and police noticed details of the story changed with each appearance. Police Chief Joseph E. Solomon told ABC’s "Good Morning America" that authorities might never have suspected anything had the men not sought publicity. "Had they just put the money away or, you know, gone somewhere outside of the area and sold a little money at a time, I don’t think anybody would have known or suspected anything," Solomon said. "Sometimes wanting to be famous is really the downfall of people." (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

great thread. puts me in the mood to start my own harry allen hissy fit.

you'd better keep going back further than that. drugs have always been present in the lives of some musicians, including those who play jazz. here's an excerpt from a book on louis armstrong, a quote from pops himself: "Speaking of 1931 - we did call ourselves Vipers, which could have been anybody from all walks of life that smoked and respected gage. That was our cute little name for marijuana, and it was a misdemeanor in those days. Much different from the pressure and charges the law lays on a guy who smokes pot - a later name for the same thing which is cute to hear nowadays. We always looked at pot as a sort of medicine, a cheap drunk and with much better thoughts than one that's full of liquor."

you can drive that baby to the airport to take a flight in this honey, the bumble bee!

on the other hand, it certainly wins the "truth in advertising" award.

all kidding aside, you might do better by picking a more obscure artist. sales staff are more apt to frequently clean up or restock a popular artist's section, and there's goes your hidden booty.
