  1. I wish my paycheck had this problem...can we attempt replication in that environment, you know, in the name of testing? I wish my paycheck had this problem...can we attempt replication in that environment, you know, in the name of testing?
  2. I have no idea how to fix it. I have no idea how to fix it.
  3. It's fine. It's a hodges Easy Listening album. Welk loved Hodges and gave him the royal treatment in every regard, arrangers, money, limo service, everything. Keep in mind, it is an easy listening record, not too much "jazz" on it. But Johnny Hodges didn't ever play bullshit, ever.
  4. Seems that the only remaining Select is the Woody Herman...I can give strong recs for that one with the stipulation that if you won't like "that type of thing" in general, then you probably won't like this either. Otherwise, it was great, fiery, swinging band that brought it every time out, and played for keeps...they meant it, if you know what I mean.
  5. Ok, that numbering system is definitely not totally linear sequential. Pretty sure they didn't get almost 3793 orders overnight.
  6. Just curious - what was the order # on the email they sent you to confirm receipt of that order?
  7. Pitch correction needed on that tape, right? Pitch correction needed on that tape, right?
  8. Wow...if order #s are truly system-generate sequentially in the order of submission, business is booming? My single CD order came in as #31189853, my Goodman order, again, submitted quite literally two minutes or less later, came back as #31189990. I know that boxes are not shipped sequentially, but shouldn't orders follow a linear chronology? Or is there any chance that they went to different servers or something and a digit in the order signifies that?
  9. As noted, the Goodman is on backorder, and I really don't "have" to have it, but I'll feel better about not having it if I at least try to get it now. Hedging bets, though, I placed a separate order for some single CDs....not really sure how organized the warehouse/shipping thing is going to be right now, don't want to lose items in hand while waiting for another that will never come back. My Boogie-Woogie select arrived yesterday, and the Jamal is hopefully en route, so hopefully they got somebody on point to keep it between the lines for the duration.
  10. Pretty damn excellent!
  11. Yeah, I got the Bennedetti, I wouldn't NOT get it. But I'm also a "Bird freak", him being, imo, one of the few people in any field to whom the term "genius" fully applies.
  12. Include the live shows as well. There aren't that many, iirc.
  13. Sam Mele, Major League Player, Manager and Scout, Dies at 95 Casey Stengel, center, with Minnesota’s manager, Sam Mele, left, and Dodgers Manager Walter Alston before a World Series game in 1965. Credit Herb Scharfman/Sports Imagery, via Getty Images https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/03/sports/baseball/sam-mele-dead-managed-twins-to-world-series.html?_r=0 Mele was considered a low-key manager, but he asserted his authority in a 1965 spring training game in an incident that might have played a role in the Twins’ pennant-winning run. Mele had been unhappy with Versalles’s play at shortstop, and when Versalles seemed to make a halfhearted attempt to field a grounder against the Mets, Mele yanked him. As recounted in The New York Times, Versalles headed for the clubhouse after the inning, but Mele told him: “Go sit in the dugout and watch the game. You might learn something.” When Versalles hesitated, Billy Martin, Mele’s third-base coach, beckoned Versalles to sit next to him. “O.K., for you I go,” Versalles told Martin. “You’ll do it for me,” Mele retorted, “and that will cost you $100.” Versalles: “Why not make it $200?” Mele: “O.K., it’s $200.” Versalles: “Why not $300?” Mele: “That’s what it is, $300.” Martin made Versalles his reclamation project during the season, encouraging him to hustle and praising him when he did. “He’s the only one who helped me all the time,” Versalles said when he won the league’s Most Valuable Player Award, putting the spring training embarrassment behind him. “He inspired me.”
  14. Here's a 2010 overview of the four. Don't think there's any download links: http://thecahokian.blogspot.com/2010/06/echoes-of-past-life-listening-to-alice.html Also still available from the place where the musics were at one time offered: http://www.innerpath.com/swamini-turiyasangitananda-alice-coltrane/
  15. Yes, some (two?) of the cassettes (four in total, right?) saw CD issue, all have been blogged. But really, I would buy this anyway, just for that cover, the colors (accentuated, imo, by the font and the placement of the title).
  16. Luis Olmo, a Pioneering Puerto Rican Baseball Player, Dies at 97 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/02/sports/baseball/luis-olmo-died-brooklyn-dodger-from-puerto-rico.html?_r=0 Olmo, who played mostly in the outfield, arrived at Ebbets Field a year after Hiram Bithorn, a right-handed pitcher, became the first Puerto Rican major leaguer when he joined the Chicago Cubs. Cubans had appeared in the majors before Bithorn and Olmo arrived. Whatever their nationality, all of the early Latino players possessed a qualification that ownership demanded: They were white. Latinos began making a significant impact in American baseball only after Jackie Robinson broke the modern major league color barrier with the 1947 Dodgers........ "I batted .313 in 1945 and I was making $6,000,” he told The New York Times at one commemorative event. “I asked Branch Rickey for $10,000. He offered me $6,500. I went to Mexico for $25,000 and expenses.” He added: “I still remember the Dodger fans, lots of Puerto Ricans even in those days. They would talk to me in Spanish. Almost always nice things, except when you struck out.”
  17. Yeah, I'm preordered as well. Those robes, the colors, stunning...
  18. Last I looked, a user does have a certain amount of space on their account to upload items, that can then be posted as attachments using the Insert other media button.
  19. Yep.
  20. . Nope. gotta leave at least one character.
  21. Pretty sure we have that now? I don't think you can post a blank box, but I think you can edit down to one? You can definitely delete a post other than an opening one with no impact to anything else.
  22. There's a difference between editing out the content of an opening post and deleting the post itself. Not being too much of a delete myself, I don't know, maybe there's a popup that warns you that if you delete this post you delete the entire thread. Or maybe not. On the reare occasion I have to delete a thread (usually a duplicate), I do it as a moderator. No idea what the poster interface does. anybody have recent experience with that?
