Didn't he know Jesus was already dead? What a maroon! Hey, the record ends in him being crucified again. Not much of a surprise ending there... -

Meader tried to come back as Jesus http://eil.com/shop/artistlist.asp?artistname=Vaughn-Meader A damn good effort, imo, but Jesus proved to be an even tougher act to follow than JFK. Them's the breaks. -
Ok, sh'es purty, and I'd "do" her" till the cows came home (& I'd hire somebody to kep them distracted and/or lost), but homegirl does have a chin that is a dealbreaker as far as possibly procreating goes.

Yes. The arrangement is kept intact from the original and each player in the section gets 16 bars. -

Why the hell aren't you writing album notes? Your analyses are very insightful. Hey, I'm a populist. You ain't gotta buy no album - or anything - to get'em here. Not sure how truly insightful they really are, though, but thanks for the compliment, glad you get some good out of them. Your appreciation is appreciated!

No dude, they interrupted to announce that shots had been fired, not that Kennedy had been shot. Big difference. KLIF was the Top 40 station in town then, a Gordon McLendon station, and no slouch when it came to "instant coverage". What you're hearing here is the confusion of the event as it happened. Only a handful of people knew right of the bat that Kennedy had been shot. Everything else was rumor and speculation, until the official announcement was made, after which... -

We're about the same age and came up in a lot of the same ways, so I know what you're saying, and I know how all that makes you feel, because it has made me feel the same way (or worse, not for nothing did Galio & I get along so well...). But, and I say this after no small amount of wrestling, maybe, maybe it's less important for a 20 year old drummer in 2008 to get inside this shit like we did then because it's less important for them to be/play like those guys now. I mean, ok, we're talking a style that for the sake of broad argument is,,,40 years old. Now, when we were glomming it all in, say, 1978, were we really getting into players from 1938? I mean, I had a reputation at NT for having more Lester Young & Coleman Hawkins sides than anybody (as well as Ayler, AEC, etc, but that was my personal eccentricity, or so it was said...), but to put it in context, one of my buddies one day said, "hey, you're the only guy with any Lester Young sides..." And so I was, and truthfully, at that time, in that place, as evil as it seemed then, it was probably not that evil a scenario, that cats were not too keen on going so far back. They had things to do now, and although the ones who really went on to matter eventually went back, it was because they felt the pull to connect to family, not because they felt that it was..."required" or something. What I do remember was checking out Sid Catlett the first time, because of Max Roach, who adovocated for Big Sid. Well, hey, if you dig Max, you got to dig Big Sid, and then one thing leads to another. But a lot of cats didn't really dig Max all that much, they thought he was a "bebop" drummer (an easy enough fallacy to swallow in the pre-CD Hear It ALL At Once Golden Age...), and all they wanted to know was Elvin/Tony/Billy/Joe etc. They had no time for Max, or Philly, or AT, or Klook, never mind a cat like Denzil Best or Shadow Wilson. And forget about anybody earlier than that, save Buddy Rich. That had all kinda gotten lumped into one compressed "style" thing that you learned if you wanted/needed to, but it was definitely "then", and not readily apparent to have anything to do with right now, which when you're young and on fire is really the only place that matters. And truthfully, as a place to be at a certain time, if you got that going good for you, hey, don't waste it. you got the rest of your life to be old, right? And if the point gets made that there's no more right now left relative to the spiritual continuum as it intersects with the musical, then whoa, that's a whole 'nother point to ponder tight there, if it comes to that. Like I said, this whole historical myopia really used to bug me, but everything coming full circle now, and with so much of what I thought to be hip and badass in my youth falling into the "established tradition" for today's youth, I can't say that if cats can't look backward because they're too busy looking forward, hey, go ahead on, c'est la vie. Eventually the call to family will beckon to those for whom it should. Seems like shit always works out that way. And for those who won't look back (or ahead) just because they're too lazy or stupid or plain ol' ignunt, hey...there's a niche for everybody, and when there's not, consider the herd thinned. Back in the day, you came out of the family, because the family was healthy and self-sustaining. The family was there to help you find yourself. Now, you gotta find yourself and then go looking for the family. And truthfully, I don't know that finding them before you've more or less found yourself is such a good thing... But that's just me.

Ask him if he remembers the Rainbow Room gig w/Teo, will ya? It might be interesting to hear what he thinks/thought of Teo through the years.

It occurs to me that the letter "U" is one over from the letter "T". So let's make "CTI" "CUI". Now, let's follow this "one over" principal on our new acronym. "CUI" now becomes "ICU". So you see, the progression from CTI to ICU has been a logical one based on some very simple, easy to follow principals. Now, let's look at "ICU" and put the "T" back. We now have "TCU" (Freddy's not from Fort Worth is he? Didn't think so...) Now, anybody can see that "C" is really a little more than half of an "O". The object of life being to fulfill it's fullest potential, let's encourage/manifest that and make/most fully realize "TCU" into "TOU". Again, life is nothing if not a series of events guided by some underlying inevitabilities, in this case, the "one over" principal. Therefore, it is only fitting that "TOU" becomes "OUT". Getting OUT of the ICU is therefore inevitable for Freddie, and the sooner the better!

Or maybe it's a blues lick that the white folks took over & turned into something else. We all know how that goes...
