  2. Timeless across all boundaries. But seriously, he could get to the ladies like a good pop star should. RIP.
  3. We've known for a few months that we were going to become grandparents around June. Today we learned it will be a girl! Best Christmas ever!

    And they helped make the babies. You don't have a Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame without the babies being made.
  6. Ha, this album was heretofore unknown to me, although the contents certainly weren't! Released in 1949 as both a 78 album and a 10" LP with a variety of covers.

  7. That box bugs me becuase it's two different eras in one set. Rather they'd have front-loaded it with the post-Musicraft work and left off the post-Bethlehem work. There's enough more to have made that a set itself.

    Just saying, "standing the test of time" is a trailing indicator always, a predictive one speculatively. At best.
  10. A lot of singles, but some key LPs also! Liberian Suite, Masterpieces, and Uptown (Hi-Fi or otherwise), these were originally all LP issues, 10" or 12". All that aside, give me Kitty or give me deaf! Sonny Greer got THAT pocket this time!

    The whole thing about "timeless" and "classic" and all that stuff...the older I get, the more silly it seems, I mean, something that's not yet 50 (or even 100) years old, by what vanity do we convince ourselves that it's going to be appreciated for the remainder of time? As long as there's _____, the music of _____ will live? How is that supposed to work, exactly? Is that a promise or a threat? Maybe both, maybe we won't be afforded the luxury of not having the music of _____ kept in our faces no matter where we go.The conqueror's impulses never leave, once they have the land and the bodies, they then go for the minds, and they do use all senses to get there, including the ears. Now we have recordings on demand, hell, without demand. Before that we had recordings by choice/affordability. Before that we just had manuscript. Before that we just had live performances and other oral traditions. The historical trend is away from self-determined relevancy towards an strongly "suggested" consensus, only some of which appears organically. Timeless? Listen for the sound of a wounded heart screaming in anguish, or a crazy person laughing in delirium. Listen for the sound, if you can find it, of a people who sing the songs they sing the way they sing them because that's the only way they've ever heard them sung )or think it is...). There's your timelessness (at least as it pertains to humans). Anything on a record or a piece of paper, that's a commodity. It might be other things, but documentation for the purpose of preservation automatically means that whoever controls the documentation guides the preservation, including the guesswork of trying to conform to an orthodoxy of perception over actual comprehension. A "timeless quality", can only exist as long as something exists to present it to a people who are there to have it presented, and then only if they are there in such a way so as to be disposed to embracing whatever that quality is. That's a helluva whole lot of specifics to impose on something as non-specific as "time", so...good luck with all that. Traditions are not guaranteed survival, cultures damn sure aren't, and humans are not required for creation to sustain itself. If time is indeed a construct of limited human consciousness, then how the hell does anything having a "timeless quality" or some such amount to too much more than a further restriction of an already restricted premise? Earlier this week, I hear Sonny Rollins playing "Winter Wonderland" in Kroger. Once I did the math of who owns what and how this got there, was I left with anything else or provable, quantifiable value? I mean, it made me laugh like hell to hear that music just...melting all over Kroger, but if anybody else besides me noticed, it only has life there for as long as somebody puts it there. And at some point, I'd expect somebody to say, hey, what is it with this weirdass melting Christmas song, get that shit out of here! And then, hey, so much for "timelessness", right? In the meadow we will build a snowman. We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown. He'll say "Are you married?" We'll say "No, man! But you can do the job while you're around."

    Will we be hungry then? And if so, what'll be on the menu? Most importantly - will we need to tip?

    In order for something to be timeless, wouldn't you have to be around when time is gone to see if it's still there?

  17. Live recording from 1957. Pretty engaging music.
