  2. I have all three and wouldn't take for them.
  3. All of the above are incorrect. The correct answer is Doin' Alright.
  4. Yeah, but are you old enough to understand?
  5. And oh by the way - who is/was Micki Lynn and what's her story? The way she says "I'm a GOOD girl" at the end of that one medley is just plain ol' freaky, and the way she leans into Von's opening note on "Call Me" suggests a lady who knew what time it was, even if, perhaps, her train left on a different track than his.
  6. I recall seeing a Cadet LP of a couple of singers, a live recording in Vegas, up on Ebay and being quite surprised to see Von listed in the backing group. I checked out the Argo/Cadet discography and if I remember correctly, this was the album: LP*-4057 - Carryin' On - Milt Trenier & Micki Lynn [1967] So I'd say the answer, Jim, is that Von *was* gigging in Vegas EDIT: Pretty sure I'm right, here's an image of the album cover: I've had the pleasure of checking this one out for a few weeks now, and find Chuck's evaluation spot on. Considering that this is "show business" of the old-school variety (meaning professionalism of the highest level, and the preference for hard work over gimmickry as a tool to win an audience), I've got no problem saying that it's a pretty groovy side, all things considered. And to hear Von on "Call Me" is just too damn cool for words. Just two eight bar intervals, but WHOA! I spent abut two hours last night playing that one little segment over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what a lounge gig should be!

  18. Love the concept, and am glad to see it being refined. Let it evolve through its various growing pains. And yes, consider it as only one source. That's good policy, period, not just with Wikipedia.
