Congress should investigate ethical violations at music streaming businesses—just like they did with payola. Laws must be passed requiring full transparency. Even better, let’s prevent huge streaming platforms from promoting songs based on financial incentives. LOL @ #whatcenturyareyoulivinginbro? That's not a reality-based strategy. A reality-based strategy involves a lot of individual responsibility. But it's easier to whine about what other people are doing. Once again - lots of emotion and no workable plan for success. Government stepping in? In 2025? Grow the fuck up. Seriously.

A totally delightful mail order place out of Pennsylvania that featured a choice inventory of Japanese imports at totally affordable prices. I think they also sold HiFi accessories as well. Long story short, they vaporized without warning, one day they were there then one day they weren't. And as far as I know they never resurfaced Fortunately, I didn't have any outstanding orders, but that was total luck.

Us old fucks will remember the Red Trumpet catastrophe. Shit happens, as they say.

It is indeed! Quite the imagination, going back to his work with J-Mac. He made a few record after this one that are also interesting.

Harold Drankey - My Dog Rickey

Webster Lewis made interesting music.

Thank you!

DUCK!!!

Mahler's nervous breakdown has more sanity to me than what passes for normalcy these days. Exponentially more. Heard Runnicles guest-conduct with the DSO once, and on several CDs since. He deals!

Indeed!

And so I am. I was thinking about "Travelin' Light" and "Winter Wonderland" with David Izenzon on bass and Stu Martin on drums.

Didn't he do a RCA session with Sonny Rollins? One of the vault sessions? Maybe I'm wrong about that...

I love Ivie Anderson.
