It's not misprounciating that bothers me nearly as so much as it is misspeling.

Dangling a participle is one thing, but surrendering a prerogative is quite the another.

And a really funny guy as it turns out. Who knew?

Don't you mean "This thread have done gone down the shitter"?

Hate to get back on topic, really I do, but...overlooked...Maynard Ferguson's Color Him Wild (later reissued as Dues). Ok, the format was past the pint of no return as far as "relevancy" goes, and even when it was relevant, Maynard's band was always more a "showcase" than it was a "vital creative force" relative to the overall jazz scene at any given time. Now, having said that, this is a very, very good album. The arrangements are all fresh (again, relative to the world they inhabit), the soloists, all fine, and the rhythm section (Mike Abene, Ron Mcclure, & Tony Inzalaco) plays for keeps. And in Willie Maiden's "Tinsel" & Rob McConnell's (for whom on I usually have no use) "Come Rain Or Come Shine", there's two of the best "traditional" big band charts of the 1960s, period. And that's in pretty good company to be, truthfully. Maynard was at the begin of a career/personal decline during this time, and I don't know how much attention this one got in its time. But it does seem to be mostly overlooked today, and it's too fine a work to so be.

King Felix & Adrian Beltre with some friendly trash-talking: http://deadspin.com/5912371/felix-hernandez-and-adrian-beltre-spent-last-nights-game-talking-trash I'm firmly on record now as saying that Adrian Beltre is about as fun a player to watch both out of and inside the dugout as there is in the game today.

Did they check to make sure it wasn't just the battery?

Then CD it will be for me.

No, I haven't heard it. I think it was only briefly available. Lots of four letter words and off-color jokes which would have been unseemly for the younger audience Kenton was aiming at in the Creative World years. "Hey mom and dad, just listen to this Stan Kenton album I bought at the high school concert!" Not the public image he wanted. But I'll talk to a friend of mine who is really the "go to guy" for Kenton. I'm sure he has a copy and will make a CDR for me. Wonder if it includes a story Sweets liked to tell. He was trying to get a woman to have anal sex with him, and she demurred, ostensibly on the grounds that it might hurt. To which Sweets said, "It's no bigger than your average turd." Wow, this is weird...I think I found the recording in question in the OP, and check it out:

Well....I got the Carnegie Hall Hep CD pictured above, and it has neither this version of Artist In Rhythm, or Spirals. It does have some good art Pepper, but that's not what I was looking for. So...any idea as to whaere the perfomance in the YouTube video can be located? Is it uber-rare or topp-secrett or some such?

If it's truly fixable, you can donate it to Goodwill. Or even better, find some local electronic wonkgeek who would get a kick out of taking it apart and fixing it up. Such people do exist. Or even still, sell it on eBay to somebody who wants it for parts. No matter, looks as if there's still a market: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=ibm%20selectric%20ii&clk_rvr_id=345301947191&adpos=1t1&MT_ID=70&crlp=10900957604_2416792&tt_encode=raw&keyword=ibm+selectric+ii&geo_id=9932&adgroup_id=3262492484

It's mostly gonna be downhill from here, but the fields are far from fallow.

Don't know about that, but any Album Covers With Sexy Mouths (Or Lips) tread that doesn't start of with this cover is not getting of to a good start! Which gives me an idea....
