Didn't Bird so a guest spot on Jerry Lester's Broadway Open House? "Almost Like Being In Love"? Seems like I remember reading about that somewhere.

Definitely. That was nice.

There'll be enough someday. Billy Harper is a true healer. 'Nuff said.

That's Mondo Grosso, who I gather was the premier Japanese "Acid-Jazz" of the 90s. Good stuff, and a group/scene I wouldn't mind checking out at leisure in the future. But Monday's moved way, way beyond that... And yeah, today's Saturday, and I do go out and play. For a Memorial Day "extravagnza" featuring a Bob Hope impersonator hosting a "Cavalcade Of Stars" which is also a bunch of "celebrety impersonators". Don't think I'll be going to church on Sunday, but after all that, you best believe I'll be getting down on my knees to pray...

Don't know nearly as much about Dekker as I should, but I do know that he was a pioneer, and that "The Israelites" was just the tip of the iceberg.

There was actually a tangental personnel and/or personal connection between the Bonzos & The New Vaudeville Band, but damned if I remember what it is, and damned if I care. But I do remember seeing the NVB on, I think, Hollywood Palace back in the day, and they had a pretty off-the-wall stage schtick. Come to find out, they stole it from the Bonzos. That I do remember.

Well, I don't think I'm in any way a stereotypical eltitist jazz fan, but I gotta tell ya', the Idol show don't do much for me at all. Different strokes, and all that, but like a friend of mine once said when I responded to his dissing of the Elvis Sun sides as music for ignorant hillbillies by saying that it was soulful music for ignorant hillbillies, "Fine. Let them have it then!"

Definitely a joke.

What's up w/the heart attack on the way to the hospital? And why is the family suddenly "satisfied" witht he police account? Hmmmm....

They get the joke.

My god....

Gimme the Bonzos any damn day.

The only thing that would make these renditions more perfect would be vocals by Darlene Edwards.

Who ia Katharine McPhee? Seriously.

I'll take your word for that, but how about his liner notes? Stanley Dance was a bad muthafukkah.

That's Earl, brother!

Hold off a few days, Rod. More "content" is coming your way shortly.

Best wishes and deepest thanks to Generalissimo Alfredisson Organissimo!
