Michael, however, took note of where they went wrong and vowed not to make the same mistakes himself.

You've never smelled really good burning poo.

Not having actively pursued Wilson arcania for, oh...30 or so years now, this is the first time I've har thisone. Glen Campbell has one helluva voice, ya' know?

No, Von is more important than Vista. Easily.

Indeed I do!!!!!! !

OK, so what's the deal with this photo? Sonny's got a lyre attached to his horn, like he's getting ready for marching band practice. And who's that with him? Looks like he's holding a mouthpiece, and others are on the table. Trying out some new pieces? And where did you find this? I did a "view image" and it comes up as being from sonnyrollins.com. But I couldn't find this image when I went to his website. That's Ronnie Scott. London, 65, most likely. Maybe the lyre is a joke about how he was walking around while he played back then (and still does today somewhat)? The picture came in the newsletter I signed up to receive. You can do it too!

Nah, I don't/can't read stuff like that any more. Cats are getting too far removed from the real time and place to talk to me about stuff like that in terms that matter to me. Not that they shouldn't be making terms that matter to them, I'm just saying...It's like I'll never hear Benny Goodman like my Uncle Doyle did, and they'll never hear Roscoe like I do. No matter how much everybody gets "right", after a certain age gap, like it or not, it becomes "history" instead of "your life" It's all good, that's life, but...I'm sure you can understand. I'm still writing my own "reviews" of this music, and probably will be until I die. That's the only ones I care about at this point. See the recent Signal to Noise review of the Congliptious reissue. Hard to find at the end of the reissues page. Sounds like cause for a complaint that they are giving too much review!

Are you serious, you got complaints like that? Dude, sir, that is just plain wrong.

As close to a hero as I'll probably have in this life:

You smile now, but I am going to use it to create hour-long house remixes of the AEC box, because Macs got it like 'dat, yo.

You go, Sonny Rollins, you GO!!!!!

Zero problems for me so far with all new machine/software...actually somehow got the dreaded "secure network" virus a few weeks ago & once I got over that initial WTF fear-and-dread was able to disable it simply be dragging the folder from the Start Menu to the Recycle bin & then going back and cleaning up. No need to restart in Safe Mode or anything... Pretty cool shit, that wsx. Sounds like (both here and everywhere else) that virtually all the issues w/Vista are with backwards comparability, especially w/installs over pre-existing installs. Since that was not a factor for me, I must say that I've been pretty darn pleased with Vista myself. So far. And someday I am going to try a Mac.

Everything I've read by & about Dave Dexter suggest to me that he was the type of guy who would pull Variety off the newsstand first, Down Beat second, not that there's anything wrong with that, not there was all that much of a difference between the two for a long time, and not that that didn't place him apart from executives at other big labels (although Capitol in 1964 was not yet wholly removed from its roots as an artist-driven indie), I'm just saying that as interesting as he is, he's not somebody i would have wanted handling beatles releases at the time, nor was he absent what today would be considered questionable racial attitudes, as i understand it. More Earl Wilson than either Earl Hines or Brian Wilson. Of course, nobody's perfect, and Dave Dexter certainly has a significant and important legacy, but so do Norman Rockwell & Milton Berle, neither of whom I would want handling beatles records then or now, and neither of whom i would consider true, lasting friends of jazz even if they did like it, and i don't know that they did or didn't.

Canada too. But I don't think those are the really good ones...

I mean, why are Nelson Eddy, George Jessell, & Peter O'Toole chasing Keeley Smith, and why is Billy May arranging it?

Damn...I can see booting the ESP & psych stuff, I mean there's at least a niche market...but a Shepp/Roach (as well as the other thing you mention) side that was pretty much totally obscure (I don't know what used markets you frequent these days, but I started looking for a copy almost immediately after hearing it in 1984, went to all the usual suspects and some unusual ones and came up totally empty, gave up on it about 10 years ago...) in whenever...that's pretty hardcore, unless there's an appeal to a market of which I know nothing about, which is distinctly possible these days.

Hell, the cat's nearly 83. If anything's gonna come back and haunt him, it better already have a lunch packed, a gas tank full, and an alarm set for 4:30 AM.

Damn, I was already 1/20 of a century old. Tempis fugit, eh?
