Wow.

Look's like Frank's place is on the bench now.

That one really touches me...always has.

You're saying that you "have loved her"...sounds kinda personal... (TMI = Too Much Information) Meant as attempted humor, but apparently didn't work. Sorry. I dug the side she made w/J-Mac, and one of her other BN trio dates, forget which one..what's she been up to that she was disappeared for 7 years?

yeah, that one I have...what a trip!

Deep Purple Nino Tempo & April Stevens Bob & Ray

How was Bristol, anyway? Used to make a pit-stop there every summer while driving to Va., when the in-laws lived there.

TMI, perhaps?

You & me both, bro!

Does Chick turn up in any more "unexpected" Verve sessions/context, like Herbie did?

Indeed.

Drop away! Please!

In the age of digital and exact copying and downloading and file-sharing and all that, if you feel that your whims truly need to met, and they're not, it's your own fault.

"Expressive"? I don't know what that means...at least not w/o an explanation of what the expectations/parameters/whatever are. In some situations, the highest form of "expression" is to just play the music. I think a Monk rhythm section is one of those situations. Others might have done different, but better? I'm not sure about that...that tandem had a pretty distinctive personality & they swung like a mofo. What other kind of "expression" would you be looking for? FWIW, though, I feel about Ben Riley like you do about these two, more often than not. So yeah, a great deal of subjectivity is involved here...

I notice that iTunes does not offer the original cover, so here ya' go:

I mean, for real, where is Stix? Because Wayne was the first one to leave, and there were "rumors" about ruffled feathers over that amongst the rest over the years. Maybe everybody but Stix got over it? Anyway, all the videos I can find of Terrail Moody are bashy drum solos, and who is Damian Harris other than the film guy? Wilton Felder, though, that's the guy!

Ford Knox Don Knotts Annie Potts

Donde esta Senor Stix?

Not me. Ore was in the pocket & Dunlop swung like crazy, with attitude. "Creative" is relative to what is attempting to be created. With Monk, it's as much about a groove on the bottom as it is anything else anywhere else. Ore & Dunlop certainly created that. Monk liked to dance.

Almost went here too...maybe next time.
