Connor tribute on UK impulse!, correct? But what will Russell tribute be on?

Puppet Beatles move looser than real Beatles. Except Ringo.

Oh god, now I've been an asshole. I apologize! Better go take a shower. Wait, that was yesterday...maybe a towelette, just to show my sincerity. Seriously, all in jest. I like the crusty as well as the sweet. Hell, I like pie. Jazz is pie.

THAT's the spirit!

jesusfuckingchrist, are these the last days or what?

Nah, I mostly stay inside these days. It's easier, safer, and more technology-appropriate! Nevertheless, when I get that bug up my ass to just get out and go looking for stuff...I go. But there's not too much left. Glad I did it when I did

Bought as an object, will be kept as such, on the shelves right next to my early 70s UA (NOT Blue Note!) two-fer of the BN sessions. Bought primarily out of curiosity, which was rewarded. Raggedyasstightness and BOOTSY! Damn good band, and I'm reminded again how the one place in school where the classical/jazz/New Music divides were not absolutely non-overcome-able was the percussion department. Hello, African diaspora in full effect., to this day, all we need is a drummer for people who only need a beat, but even if you don't, STILL all you need is a drummer - if it's the right drummer. Otherwise, all you need is a good bassist. Out Of The Cool is a totally different record with "Sister Sadie" leading off Side One. Who knew? Will get to the McFarland half tomorrow, it's been decades since I heard it, I think... Moral of the story - if you clear all the CDs off the lid on your turntable, you can play records on it. Bigger moral of the story - you can put CDs in places you didn't know you had, especially if you do it when nobody's looking. Sorry if that sounds obscene, but I'm waiting for LTB to find them. Then we can talk about sounding obscene.

Wish he was here to celebrate it....

Capuchin Swing, yes...the first time I heard it was in...1981? And I had been listening to a lot of rap at the time. There was one spot on Side 2 where Jackie played this one lick and I said HOLY SHIT, THAT'S A RAP LINE!!! Because, you know, it was. I've never been able to find it again, maybe I was a little stoned at the time, but yes, Jackie's rhythm/voice, very "street" sometimes, how could it not be, and there's all that to think about as well, not unlike Max playing with the break-dancers, continuitizing certain things so not everybody wakes up one day and has forgotten. Because most people will, just as a fact of life, so, build your defenses as/where you can.

Well hell, does this mean hospital hot dogs? Eeeeewwwww..... GET WELL!

Been there done that, for real. Back in the road days, traveled with a turntable, a Sony reel-to-reel deck with phono inputs and detachable speakers, and a trunk (eventually two trunks) of selected LPs., mostly the fun-rare stuff (of which there was more of back then before CD Reissue Revolution), almost nothing "common". And of course, sometimes the urge would come on to listen to a "common" old favorite. Well, you know how it is, you get the urge for something and it ain't there, you go looking for it, right? I don't care what it is, you go looking for it. Y'all know what I mean. End result, getting out of the hotel room, venturing off into all sorts of places (planned and unplanned), meeting all kinds of people, and often enough finding/not finding the original quest was insignificant compared to the time spent venturing out, the money spent to stimulate local economies, and, especially, the delight of not finding what I left to go looking for, but finding something I never thought to look for, record or otherwise. Try driving through rural Mississippi or suburban Chicago or ANYWHERE in Calgary trying to find a pawnshop or junk shop in search of an MP3. Why, I never!

That one looks like it could easily have been considered for an LT-Series Blue Note cover. (not everybody likes those photos/covers, but I've always really dug them). Nice work!

No, she started with her first husband and went from there. Very animated and delightful conversationalist, a bit scattered, but in a way that was not incompatible with her music.

Dennis James Dennis Day Doris Day

Well, back when they REALLY sold records, that's how it was calculated, I believe. So, fact relative to back in the day, medium and measurement alike, each in their own way, and alone together, hello, new day in the morning..

Took the shower, felt good, but remain haunted by the Sly line about dying young is hard to take, drying off is harder...how true it is.

Just found this on the PBS Roku station, Joni Mitchell was on there too, from a few days ago, and am just fixing to start Herbie. Also lurking there is Dave Koz, who I will skip, and Al Jarreau, who I will not, because I think Al Jarreau has thought a lot about what he was doing, and I wonder if he's thinking the same thing that I thought he was thinking when I was thinking about him thinking about it. But Wayne was a hoot! I say as long as you're not crazy, you can be as crazy as you want/need/feel, Hello, what do you say after "Once Upon A Time"? !!!!

Who remembers Eddie Gladden these days? Hello, cymbals to Heaven!

Your family thanks you! It's just me and the little woman these days (well, there's still the dog, but you know dogs, they revel in the funk), and her sniffer's not as particular as it once was, so between the Roku and the Ambien, the key word there really is "probably". Definitely by Friday, though. Gonna go to Fred Moomey's on Saturday to buy a Christmas tree, it's an annual tradition (as opposed to a bi-weekly tradition, I suppose), gotta smell good for that, at least goin' in. Fresh pine can only cover up so much, ya' know.

B-List Hans & Franz Brian Pumper

I'll probably be taking a shower this evening!

Bought comparatively cheaply as an object, very pleasantly suprised that it's in much better condition than the one I borrowed/nearly ended up stealing from my band director, except for an unrepairable scratch/needle-stick on "Lover Man" which really sucks, but hey, $12 for an object, carpe diem. Also bought as an object, because I remember the first time I saw this in a record store, I so did not understand the concept of bootleg labels releasing unissued stolen studio stuff from 40 years previously, I just thought well, this is WEIRD, every bit of it, and seeing this cover again, yead, it still looks weird. And there's a drawing of a dachshund on the label, part of the design. The more you know, the more you know you don't know. Bought for the music, enjoyed for the music, and jesus, it sounds like there's an L.A. studio band involved on Side Two, either that or a Carla Bley band recorded really well. Delightful!

Heard this on a podcast today, sounded really interesting. Stuff like this can be had dirt cheap used at Amazon.
