I'm all for that, but otoh, aren't there laws against bait-and-switch on the books to protect the gullible from the predatory?

So, nobody's ever known of an instance where a woman has deliberately lied about her "fertility status" & gotten pregnant in order to "trap" a man, either personally or financially? To use the fender bender analogy, what if somebody deliberately involved you in an accident just to collect on your insurance? Would you then feel an obligation? If the driver was giving every indication that he was about to turn right and then at the very last second accelerated into a left turn, how is that in any way your fault, other than that you were on the road? Are you expected to base every single driving decision on the assumption that every driver is going to do the exact opposite of waht they signal? Apples and oranges, perhaps, but only to a point. This particular guy might not be a good example, and of course a child is a lot more important than a car, but I'm not about to say that the laws don't need some, shall we say, "refining" when it comes to cases such as this.

The frog's on his way to a gig!

And the people who heard them are still talking about them. I kid you not.

Dan's alive, well, chilling out/redirecting his time & energies, and occasionally lurking.

Ooops.

I hear ya' about No Problem. I've gone so far as to play "Joyous Lake" in an R&B band, and believe it or not, people would dance to it. But only early in the evening. Tony's duet w/Sonny at the beginning of "Silver City" on the live Don't Start The Carnival side is on my hypothetical Sonny Desert Island Disc.

Again I ask - is that LaWanda Page on the cover? I do believe it is.

Side Two of The Cutting Edge is weak, but Side One is just dandy. I've got the LP, so I only listen to Side One. Sonny could have been up in the mix more, though. Sounds like he's off-mike or something. Not fully miked, maybe. But that Masuo/Cranshaw/Mtume/Lee foursome gets into some pretty badass grooves to my ears, especially on the title cut - you could bounce a feather offa that bad boy! Horn Culture? I dunno...I know some people who really dig it, but it's never really hit me. Different strokes, I guess.

It was simply a project never completed. There is no "other half". Perhaps our erstwhile colleague is referring to the unreleased Lacy Trio session done for Atlantic?

Thanks, Chas. That's valuable information.

Thanks! Vicari is not who I was remembering, but over 30 years, I've probably morphed "former Woody Herman sideman" into "one of the "Brothers" type players (but a lesser one)" in my mind.

Yes, popping and then riding is something that most young men seem to enjoy.

Sonny's been through at least three, probably four or five, different "tonal phases" since his return in the 70s. They've all, however, been distinguished by what can only be described as a huge sound. The rasp has come and gone and come and gone etc. I remember when Sonny was on a Down Beat awards show on PBS ca. 1975 (Soundstage again). A bunch of us were sitting around watching that, and he did a duet w/McCoy on "In A Sentimental Mood" that was just awesome, but was also full of that rasp. Overflowing with it, in fact. The others in the room only knew of Sonny from the 50s and were more than a little, uh....perplexed by what they heard. Finally one guy said, with no small amount of befuddlement, "sounds like he's trying to imitate Archie Shepp". Oh well.... If you like this one, try The Cutting Edge. That one is lively and frisky and has rasp out the wazzoo.

We "popped" wheelies. POP! Why is "bike" pronounced "byke", yet "Nike" "ny-kee". That does not compute.
