Mike's taken hiatii in the past, so here's hoping that is just another one, and that all is well and he'll be back soon.

Would Dim Sum suffice?

You're more than welcome. You got the power to dissemenate over the airways, so do it! As for the other thing, I've been turning exponentially crankier the last few months as the Big Hawaii approaches. Been thinking about having an opulent commemorative bash with the theme of "A Half Century Of.....What, Exactly?" Oh well, Frank Hewitt gives me hope that if I stay active and true, even if if it requires (as I'm sure it will, at least in these parts) being part of the sub-underground, a handfull of people will appreciate my endeavors after I'm dead. So, as Peggy Lee so eloquently put it, let's break out the booze and have a ball!

Just goes to show you that the devil is indeed in the details... Hey, you HAD to be saving that image for the right moment, right? I mean, nobody tracks something like that down in 6 minutes (Oh wait, you're probably not on a dialup like m-m-mmmm, never mind) Google Image Search + Cable Internet = The Illusion of Quick-Wittedness

Birthday? Never heard of such a thing. Stopped having them last year.

You know who ought to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? The entire first Count Basie band, that's who.

Not yet...

The Cavett ABC show that I remember always had a big band. Seems that I remember that he came back with a smaller show on PBS(?) with a smaller band after being cancelled by ABC ca. 1972(?). But I'm not putting money on that.

No, they were all NYC-based at the time (late-60s/early-70s). Daniels was also with Thad/Mel at the time, remember? The band was led by Bob(by) Rosengarden. I'm thinking that Jerry Dodgion was lead alto.

Other Cavett house band regulars were Eddie Daniels, Danny Stiles, & Bill Watrous.

Randy Wood Lawrence Welk Johnny Hodges

I was born in 1955, I saw a horse shit in 1958 (if not before), and I became entranced w/Hendrix in 1967. So I got all the bases covered.

Not well enough, it seems...

One if by land...

We don't have basements in Texas. We're all doomed to die a fiery Red Death. Or is that Red State Death?
