And then it went inside, where the reaction wasn’t reliant on the actions of others. It takes a certain responsibility to accept ownership of you own groove and not become a codependent.

Y'all are funny to think it would have made a difference. We got 40+ years now of proof that it was either gonna happen at any given moment or it wasn't, regardless of who the rhythm section was or wasn't. I got a bootleg of I'm old fashioned where the rhythm section wasn't all that good and it happened. The poor guys gave out and sonny kept right on letting it happen. You can say that jazz should be more "interactive" than that, but all Sonny needed was a rhythm section to not get in his way, which was more or less going to be where, when, and how he found it. Like it or don't like it, but that's how it was.

I get that, I really do, but how do you keep track of all your files at work? I've got hundreds, potentially thousands of CDrs lying around that I couldn't beging to keep a handle on. All of them, and many mre are also archived on my hard drive(s). It's actually harder to track the CDRs than it is the hard drive files, I just make sure that I have a consistent naming and filing system, same as I do at work. At first I actually tried the whole jewel(ish) cases and spine name thing, but you know really, life is short, and most things, let's be honest, we play long enough to get the idea and then file away. The stuff that really imprints, we ALWAYS know how to get to that stuff, no matter what format it's in. I like having a lot of shit lying around because I'm a hoarder in the services/pretenses of archiving. If all the 0s and 1s get called home one day in the Great Zombie Cloud Apocalypse, I got backup. Maybe I worry too much. Still, it was true then and its true now: OMG I JUST NOTICED - Chip & Jo are the Kris & Rita of The New Millennium!!!!!!!

For such supposedly happy music, this is actually pretty unsettling...

oh my god, yes.

They have been busy, and they have done excellent work.

Did he make the bridge?

yep. Dusty Groove has it for a wee bit less after postage: https://www.dustygroove.com/item/892637

I'm thinking not as well. Too bad, what was promised, and no doubt exists, was a buttload of stuff I'd pay good money to hear.

who's putting this out? I only have a cassette dub of the LP and would dearly love it both legitimately and improvedly. Ah, THOSE guys. figures. Sorry, Woody Herman Mars, this comes first. https://www.amazon.com/Amarcord-Nino-Rota-Various-Artists/dp/B07FSWH8PX/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1534375415&sr=1-2&keywords=Amarcord+Nino+Rota&dpID=51T1zFvzUQL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Last I heard, Necco was safe?

and if you really need physical media, get a heavy-duty burner and some industrial strength blanks. My main thing, though, is to stay ahead of the curve instead of behind the 8-ball. And even more seriously, if you're that worried about long-range functionality, hey, records are still your best entertainment value. You always gonna be able to Flintstone that motherfucker until life becomes unlivable. YOU DON'T EVEN NEED ELECTRICITY!!!! Seriously, take a lesson from your ancestors and lean how pedaling to generate motion works.

Well, sure they can't. Until they can. They got anybody with half a clue working on that now with somebody on the other end that also has half a clue? Of course, that's predicated on there being the possibility of ANYBODY involved having half a clue...good luck on that one. In the meantime, don't announce a less than "essential" release and then send a ransom note. Under no circumstances is that a good idea, especially when nobody cares THAT much if the hostage dies or not. Amateur. On a completely unrelated matter, still waiting for that Joe Daley set from that guy on the other thread.

I have no real opinion other than the guy's obviously gone through some changes (no pun intended?)

wouldn't make any difference.

maybe it was a regional thing. We had it in all the grocery's once upon a time, not that very long ago. Not the candy corn or the circus peanuts, just things that were already individually wrapped. But I see that a lot of my favorites are no longer made, like those Neopolitan coconut things. mmmmmmmGOOD! Here's what's left: http://www.brachs.com/product-finder/

Is it just here, of have the Brach mix-and-match system, put it all in a bag and pay by weight at the checkout gone to the ways of yesteryear? Don't really buy much candy by the piece anymore, but wanted to last week and found nothing like what I remembered at Kroger. And really liked how there was an honor system box where you could eat a piece for a nickel. Is Brach still alive?

Or maybe he shoulda just done what he did.

He's changed a little bit since then...

That was after the show had permanenlty moved west. This clip is from 1965, when they were just visiting. Interesting to me is that this clip was from the "first fifteen", the optional segment that was aired for 15 minutes before the "hard" begnning of the show at the bottom of the hour. I think that tradition started with Steve Allen? No matter, at some point, Johnny decided he wanted no part of it since there were very few stations left who aired it, the time instead going to local news. So that slot went to Ed until finally, it was dropped altogether. Which leave me wondering...what was typical content of that quarter hour, and how much f it survives? If it was things like this, th band playng and otherwise interacting...I don't recal how "jazz" oriented Skitch Henderson's bands were, but tehn again, who knows what they played in these little preliminary segments taht were getting limited viewership? If this clip was 1965, Porcino would have been 40. The guy in the middle of the section looks older than that. The guy at the end of the section is John Boener, so...

Right! Right! Right! Could Mosaic offer a better download pacakge than Amazon? https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_srch_drd_B009FUMCNY?ie=UTF8&field-keywords=Woody%20Herman%20the%20legendary%20third%20herd&index=digital-music&search-type=ss QUITE right! Delightfully supplemental, but non-imperative.

See, here's the crux thing right here: With the slowing of sales of CDs, we need to be assured that there is enough demand for this set before incurring the costs and commitment to issue this body of work. The Mosaic business model is becoming harder and harder to sustain and therefore we'll need a strong response for preorders before we are able to proceed. CDs, selling CDs, that's why they're flaking out like this. Not providing the product in an economically viable multi-tiered format, selling the fucking CDs. and I know, contractual baggage won't allow them to ever do anything but that or vinyl, but geez, contracts are only binding until they're not. They're asking me to subsidize their fossil fuel model because they don't want to figure out how to at least offer a hybrid (and just offer one, not even build on, just offer one). Well, ok, what kind of a car are you asking me to buy? 2nd-tier Woody Herman? Some live Louis Armstrong? What else? Anything that I gives me an electrical jolt making me need the music and not just the idea of the packaging of the company selling it? At what point do I stop getting jerked around to Support Mosaic By Any Means Necessary and just say thanks for the memories, you'll always have a special place in my heart. At some point, evolve or die, right?

Jazz keep be beggin'. What's wrong with that picture? I'm tired of it. And really - once you preorder this thing, is there no changing your mind? Is this a final sale or a pledge? You know, that guy that does Mode records, he probably sells even less units than Mosaic. He offers a lot of different options to his customers, but I don't know that I've ever gotten a ransom note from him.
