Sounds like a project for either Bear Family or Collectables, to go from one end of the quality spectrum to the other. There's a Gleason album with sitars? Wow... Just what was Gleason's role in all these things anyway? I doubt he arranged. Did he even show up for the dates, or what? I've heard that there's one that features Lawrence Brown. That would be something to hear.

I don't know. That's a good question.

It was just a comedy clip about "The Mobley Hotel" from the old (early 90s) Night After Night show. Nothing to do w/Hank. but pretty funny.

Not online that I know of. Might've been in Mojo or some similar pub. Ca. 1993.

Hank didn't need the money. He was in the hotel business:

Yeah, Europa Jazz, that's the label! "Country Man" is the tune in question. Side 1, Track 1. Can't miss it. Unless you're on Side 2... Bought a beat-up copy of the GM original a few years ago. It might have complete personnel. But it's buried in one of the mountainstacks.

Yeah. there's a shufflebluz on there talking about "the man I love is a country man", right? That shit'll rock you for days! When I was a mere teen, the local East Texas soul station (690 KZEY-AM, aka Soul 69) had a Sunday afternoon jazz show (as does the local AM oldskool soul station - 730 KKDA-AM aka Soul 73 - today, amybe there's a thing about Sunday afternoon jazz shows on AM R&B stations?) hosted by a lady named Teddi (forget her last name, but I have a reel to reel tape of one of her shows in the closet somewhere, and I met her a few years later after she moved to FW, she was a friend of the mom of the singer of the R&B band I was in at the time, but I forgot to ask her what that song was). It was a good show, and especially welcome in KraKKerland, but Miss Teddi damn near never backannounced. And she played that song almost every Sunday. So there's this groovy blues that I'm hearing weekly and I don't have even half a clue as to what it is. But I had heard some og the Jones/Lewis Solid State sides, and I knew that they had done an album w/Ruth Brown, and Alnam's arrangement on this cut sounded like it could ahve been a Thad chart, so I just assumed that that was what it was, and set about looking for the Jones/Lewis/Brown side. When I finally found it, hey, guess what, that song wasn't on there. So what to do about that... Fast-forward 10 or so years, and I'n browsing a cutout bin somewhere and see a Dakota Staton side on Il Gigante de Jazz (the white covered series) and there's a tune on there that has a title that makes ne believe that this, at last, is the one that Miss Teddi used to jam on Sundays. Well, for $1.99 I figgured whatthehell, picked it up & took it home. Lo and behold, this was it. Another quest completed. Moral of the story - backannounciong saves time!

I think some perspective is in order. 1.) These are college kids and are not as sophisticated or experienced as some of us. A lot of us in that position, at that age would have wilted in the glare of the media, seeing and hearing yourself discussed on the radio, TV, newspapers, magazines, the internet, 24 hours a day. I know I wouldn't have been prepared for that when I was in college, perhaps not even now. 2.) They are female athletes. College athletes are sheltered or isolated from a lot of these types of upheavals. I think female athletes are less prepared for this than male athletes because sports are male dominated and there isn't as much exposure for them to begin with. 3.) Most athletes that I've heard interviewed on societal concerns or world events . . . . . well, let's just say they haven't been that impressive. And that applies to professional athletes, also. So, I say cut them some slack. Try to imagine what it would feel like to be made the subject of national, even world wide, negativity at such a young age. Let's not come down so hard of the victims. No problem with any of that, and for the reasons you state. Which goes to the advice/counselling/whatever that these young women have been receiving. As I said earlier, I don't think that it is all that it should have been, Rightly or wrongly, coaches take on the role of a "parental" figure. I know that I have tried to instil in my kids that their self-esteem is theirs alone to have or not have. My daughter in particular has been the object of some taunting, because she's got a very extroverted personality, non-traditional interests in music and other entertainment, and she refuses to "play dumb" to get boys interested in her. So of course, she's had an adoloscence full of unpleasant taunts from her peers. She's come home from school many a time wanting to report every last incident of verbal harassment, and we've encouraged her not to, telling here to instead hold her head even higher and be even more who she is even more defiantly. It's worked. The taunts have gone down dramatically, and the respect she gets has gone up in equal measure. We've seen what has happened with other kids her age who report similar occurances - the offenders get called in, "dealt with", and pretty soon, everything goes back where it was in the beginning. Sometimes it even gets worse. That's because when you let somebody else handle your respect for you, it becomes their responsibility, not yours. And they just don't/won't/can't handle it like it needs to be handled. The writer who compared Imus to a schoolyard brat was right on. This whole incident is nothing more than a playground insult on a grander scale. The recipient went to the principal, the principal called the brat into the office and administered "by the book" disciplinary action. And now what? Will Imus never again taunt? I doubt it. Do the women have the satisfaction of knowing that they're strong enough on their own to withstand the interference of assholes that is an ongoing part of the life of everybody who continuously sees to rise above the masses? I don't know, but this was a chance to prove that, and it wasn't proven. Leadership. Where was the leadership? Where were the voices to tell these women that Imus is a nobody compared to what they are on the way to becoming? Where was the guidance to let these women know that they are of the future & that Imus is of the past, a tired past that is struggling in vain to stay alive and that if you feed into, it just gets that much more of a lease on life? Where was the new militancy, the one that is going to keep on moving ahead no matter what, the one that is not going to waste time dealing with impotent irrelevanicies such as Imus, the one that realizes that the biggest blow of all to people like this is to remain blazingly indifferent to them? Where was that leadership? Not at Rutgers. I don't blame the women, but I do blame their adult leaders who supposedly have their best interests at heart. They're as blind as Imus is ignunt, and that's a freakin' shame.

The people are all of us. And we all need to wake the fuck up. Difficulty of accomplishing that task is no excuse for not undertaking it. That's why we're where we are now in the first place.

Sorry Larry, but when I heard the team captain - the team captain - say that all that the team had accomplishes on & off the court had been "taken away" (I believe that was the exact phrase she used) by Imus' comments, I nearly went ballistic. Taken away from whom? By whom? This is supposed to be a strong individual? A simple "We don't really know who Don Imus is, and if this is any indicator, we don't really care to know, but apparently he is a small man with an even smaller sense of propriety. We have better things to do with our lives than engage ourselves in this type of petty nonsense, so please, let's leave it to those for whom such things have relevancy. We pity them, but we can't be entrapped by them and their pettiness." would have done the trick. That would have been Rutgersese for "Don Imus is a pathetic excuse of a man. We so ain't got time to be bothered, so fuck him and fuck all y'all who think we do". And that's what needed to be said.

Two questions - Didn't most bands back then play 3-4 sets a night (matinees excluded) no matter what the hours were? Didn't a lot of clubs back then have intermission pianists and/or local bands on the bill to fill out the night? My point being that even if Sonny Stitts' contract was for 9:20 PM to 3:00 AM, he was probably not the only performer you'd ear during those hours. I'm thinkingthat out of those 5.5 hours, that Stitt would only play 4 hourlong (more or lesss) sets and that somebody else would be on during his breaks. 3-4 sets on a club date is still pretty much the norm, no matter how it's spaced. At least it is around here. Still, those matinees! No wonder those old cats could play at the level they did. The only way to do it is to do it!

Concede personal strength the system and the system will use it. Don't anybody get me wrong - I'm glad Imus was fired. But if anybody thinks that he was fired for anything even remotely resembling "moral" reasons, grow up. And contrary to the impression I might have left, I do understand the indignation of the Rutgers women. I'm just disappointed that they handled it in such a pussyass manner, and even more disappointed (although not surprised) that that was apparently their first course of action - turning a non-criminal personal grivance (and personal it ultimately is, no matter how much it speaks to broader issues) over to the system, which is rife with characters on every end of the ideological spectum who live for shit like this, bottom-feeders who lurk in wait of somebody who doesn't realize that the shortest distance between two points is to handle your own goddamn business and to handle it well. And that includes bringing a weasel like Imus down to size your own damn self, leaving him exposed for who he really is, and not go crying to the system, who will now use him as an object of both martyrdom & evil, all in the cause of blinding people to the power they have within themself. Of such things are industries made, and by such things are empires created. But whose industry & whose empire is this going to be, the Rutgers womens'? I think not. It could have been, it should have been, but they blew it. Piss-poor guidance, that's what they got, and too late now. Hopefully a lesson will be learned, but good luck on that one. Culture of Community & Culture of Dependence are not the same thing, but it seems that in too many minds they have become that. The best communities are comprised of people who come together out of strength, not of neediness. We all got needs, but we all got strength too. Ain't enough people nurturing the strength and way too many people nurturing the neediness. Fuck that. You got a score to settle that don't involve the law, settle it your own damnself. Have some self-respect, be a mutherfukkin gangster about it (and that's what we all deep down inside dig about gangsters - in spite of how odious they are otherwise, they handle their own business) and get it done quickly and rightly. Anything else, and you're gonna be somebody else's bitch (no irony intended). These women could/should have been able to cut Imus down to size their ownself. Shouldn't have been too hard. They're champions, and champions get it done. Instead, they fed into the steretype/industry of victimhood, and here we go again, more fire and next to no heat, the system doing what it does best - generating an illusion of substance while ultimately keeping things exactly the same. Power to the people (and as Duke said, the people are my people), and fuck the system.

I wasn't aware that "sibling organ funk" was a unique genre. Continuing adult education - it's why I read the internet daily.
