I like how Happy Housewifes had the Happy Babies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swm5vPZrl9c

Of course. duh! The classics never go out of style.

Got to checkout and didn't see any place to enter a promo code other than in the comments...can't afford to buy what all I had in the cart w/o that discount...do you (or anybody else) know for sure how this thing works?

More of the former. Whenever somebody wants to cop an explicit "Blakey feel", it seems like it's usually that mid-tempoed hard-backbeat groove. You hear somebody else do that, and it's impossible to think anything besides BLAKEY! Although, the "Blakey Latin" feel as exemplified on "A Night In Tunisia" is pretty distinctive as well. So's the "Elvin Latin" feel, but Elvin is one of the most distinctive drummers ever, regardless of what "groove" is being put forth, so... When it comes to "pace" that carries over to all tempos, I'd have to say that Dexter Gordon had one. He had a very distinctive/personal way of finding his space inside any given tempo. Part of that is the time of his tone, but it's just as much the tone of his time, how he neither overfills or underfills the space that each note occupies with his tone - although he quite often fills it to right to the breaking point! But that's what creates his pace, right there, how his sound defines the beginning and end of each note's "place" in the time. True, any competent musician will do this. But only a master musician will do it so distinctively!

Great idea for a bar, this one is:

Art Blakey

The history of the LDS church is not without..."colorful" chapters, especially once they reached what is now referred to as "The Old West". I would imagine that there are quite a few songs such as the ones found here that have been "hidden away" and/or "lost" for whatever reason(s) once the group began to actively mainstream itself.

How about Happy Secretaries who yearned to be Happy Housewifes?

Ok, I found the song, it's called "Vanessa". I have a Chet Atkins version, but there's definitely some Happy Housewife version of it that was omnipresent at the dawn of the Space Age. Here's the Atkins version: BINGO! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMBDwFvyWw4 Forgot about that waltz part (it's been several decades since last heard)...but Happy Housewifes dreamed of waltzing too, I'm sure.

The one I'm trying to remember is not a whole lot unlike this one.

Are the prices listed the sale prices?

Tried to warn you...

What label is the Kullhammer on? Moserobie or something else?

Square on the one.. 1 _ _& 3_ _& 1& 2& 3& 4e&-

First thing first - huge thanks to Jeff Crompton for his invaluable assistance in the finalization of this group of tunes. He had the skills, the software, and the time, to do some tweaking that I didn't, and his work made a difference, a very positive difference. Trust me. He also created the RAR file and the uploading to RapidShare. Jeff Crompton is a good guy. Now, for the music itself... Again, the emphasis here is on lighter things (I heard that purists won't like it, and they probably won't!), with a fair amount of whimsy as a chaser. Making it into a hard copy, a playlist, or an m3u file, starting it playing, and then doing nothing for the next 58:07 will give you the "full effect" (or as much of one as is there to be had) of all that. But if that's not an option/preference, no worries. A few "warnings" - the tune that comes on after the Nat Cole piece (hardly giving anything away here, btw...) comes on SUPERLOUD due to it being a super-compressed Amazon MP3 file of a tune that was designed to be super compressed in the first place. Jeff & I both tried to make it a little less BOOOOOMMMM, but there was only so much that could be done. The contrast was intentional, an example of the aforementioned whimsy, but only up to a point, so..fair warning on that one. Also, if you play the cuts individually, there will be a ten-second gap at the top of the last selection. That's intentional, and was put there to create a faux "hidden track" at the end of the disc.for those who might be listening uninterruptedly. Other than that, enjoy!

Ok, I remembered the session (after a while!) but had to peek to confirm the exact number - "Inner Space" on Elvin's The Prime Element two-fer. No idea what the CD issue was (or if there was one, other than the Mosaic).

My pleasure! Link sent via PM.

A potential problem with the link - The link address itself is good, but for some reason the hyperlink (underlined portion that you click on) broke at the space between "BFT" and "105.rar". If all else fails, you can copy the entire address from your PM, paste it into your browser, and go from there. The file is still active. Sorry for any inconvenience...I should have checked that before sending. My bad, completely.

I'll check it out, thanks. Not sure that I'm looking for anything specific in music other than not being able to easily identify what I'm not looking for and then not hear anything that overrides it, or at least questions it. Earye of the behearolder, etc.
