All these thread have to be unhidden on an individual basis. I've done so for the very most recent, but to get them all is going to take more time than I have at one sitting or even one day. If there's any in particular that anybody wants/needs to be restored ASAP, let me know and I'll give it priority.

I'm just now waking up. WTF? Ok, wow, this is weird. Somehow Ghost got flagged as a spammer, and all the nigh lights thread were not delegec, but hiddesn/ no idea how that happened, but I'll try to fix as much as I can finr. David, you have been unflagged, so you should be able to resume posting as GOM. Weird shit.

A-Side done by Ralph Burns, actually. Not that I would have known of either before you bought them up!

Not a lot enthusiasm here? I get it. Here's another one, just in case anybody's curious.Frank Wess plays really good alto on the opener, to the surprise of,,,uh...nobody, right?

The Creator (who has a master plan) Samuel L. Jackson (who has a MasterCard) Tiger Woods (who has a Masters jacket)

Yeah, DUH! I though about Payne for the bari track, but it seemed a little too...un-boppy? Glad to know.

Sad for the loss, but eternally grateful for the life.

Quick scanning of the tracks, one know and some guesses: #2 - no idea who, but I very much like the use of Chinese cymbal to simulate a half-speed analog-ly recorded ride cymbal. And if that really is a sample, even better! #4 - Charles Davis? No, not the same intonation. But a very similar tone...Pat Patrick? Ray Anderson on 6? No idea on 8, sounds like a tribute to a Lacy/Waldron Monk tribute, but...too much sunshine in it to be that. Lovano on 9? Charlie Haden on 10? Michael Brecker on 11 https://www.allmusic.com/album/time-is-of-the-essence-mw0000671377 Anthony Davis/Jay Hoggard on 12?

If you've bought Stanley Turrentine Blue Note records and haven't come across any Buddy Johnson tunes, keep buying Stanley Turrentine Blue Note records. And even if you have come across any Buddy Johnson tunes, keep buying Stanley Turrentine Blue Note records.

Yeah, anything that has moving parts will wear out eventually.

and the comments after the article share similar concerns. Format longevity is a problem. There are lots of old tapes around with no readers left, as NASA discovered with data from the Lunar Orbiters (https://www.nasa.gov/topics.... I hit this myself when I left DEC with personal files stored on a DECTape, and found no one could read it! You fail to mention that magnetic media deteriorates over time. Some of the cheap products are worthless/unreadable/blank after only 10 years sitting on a shelf. Does tape physically "rot" away after so many years? I remember that being a concern years ago, in data and audio recording. The only problem with tape is long term data storage. Archival optical disks (~100 years) and archival optical M-DISCs (~1000 years) beat tape by a mile in that regard.

Is it any good? as a prime candidate for a karaoke machine, yea, it's DAMN good! Lovin' that Cool Train!

Of course it is, but that's not what the article is about.

not music, data storage. https://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/hardware/why-the-future-of-data-storage-is-still-magnetic-tape

Another "who knew?" Gerald Wilson date.

Who else besides Arno Marsh? Last we heard here, Arno was alive and well. Hope that's still the case. I do know Robert Farnon, although his later work more than his earlier.

Expressing regret is not the same as issuing a retraction.

ok, thanks. How many of the key people from these sessions are still alive? Hopefully they've been reached out to. I always love hearing recollections from people who were there.

Who is he?

now you're asking me questions I am not prepared to answer! It's a nice "funky blues" record, I've only played it once or twice, but remember being very happy with it. I didn't know the name at all, so didn't know what to expect. Very happily surprised.
