  1. Hasil Adkins, are you aware of this?

  3. Kate Stelnick now has her own website: http://www.geocities.com/katestelnickpage/ According to it, she now weighs 115 pounds. Surely eating that bigass burger could'nt have done that to her. OR COULD IT????? She's a pretty girl: But when I was 19, I weighed 145, ate like a pig, and never gained weight. Then, something went wrong. HORRIBLY wrong... Kirstie Alley, meet the new kid in town.
  4. It is indeed!
  5. Please.
  6. Put out by Savoy relatively recently... And 32 Jazz before that. And Muse before that.
  7. Yeah, headphones and duct tape immoratalized forever!
  8. Agreed. He's one of those writers who you know won't always (if ever) give you the full picture, but the part that he does give you that's not colored by those "shortcomings", you can pretty much take to the bank (no "profit" joke intended, btw).
  9. Some of them bluegrass cats are pretty heavy players. Walk around with your ears open, and you're liable to hear some incredible stuff.
  10. I'm impressed to find out that Tico Torres is apparently quite skilled at roof repair.
  11. How does this South Side baseballic affiliation affect your relationship with the other members of the mafia?
  12. BUT I'M DOING A ROAD GIG TODAY DAMMIT!!!
  13. I found the CD used a few years ago. The album it reproduces is one of those singles complialtions htat he put out in between "concept" albums. Some good-enough stuff on there, but a lot of "ring-a-ding-ding" type fluff that's far from the cream of that particular crop, and some Jimmy Bowen-produced MOR pop stuff, none of it even remotely memorable. If you just want that one song and don't care about the album per se, I'd highly recommend getting the song in that compilation that kulu mentions. Much better stuff on there overall.
  14. Who'd you order from, Lon? I did the CDU thing and it's shipped but has not arrived yet.
  15. Wal-Mart gonna be the death of us all.
  16. Yeah, those notes are a hoot. Schuller is obviously taken aback by Southern lifestyle in general, and Southern African-Amerciacn lifestyle in particular. The essay reads more like an anthropological writing by some 19th century explorer "observing the natives" than it does liner notes to a jazz album. Not to dis him, he's a great writer in a lot of ways, but just as you can't take the country out of the boy, you can't put it in him either, and with jazz, that's not always a good thing...

    John Dennis

    Still wondering... As far as I know, John Dennis was black. Willie Dennis was not. Well, that narrows the chances, but doesn't eliminate them entirely...
  18. Danny Bank was probably the third bari player I knew by name (Carney & Mulligan being the first two), thanks to his appearance on a Music Minus One album that my high school had called FOR SAXES ONLY. It was an album of sax section w/rhythm section pieces composed and arranged by Bob Wilber, "minus" a tenor player on one side and an alto on the other, with you, the saxophonist in the comfort of your own whereever, playing the missing part. The section included Hilton Jefferson and Wilber on altos, Jerome Richardson & Seldon Powell on tenors, and the hero of our story, Danny Bank on bari, he being the only sax player to be heard on every tune on both sides of the album. Bank shows up on all kinds of larger ensemble dates, easily as many as Pepper Adams, and probably a lot more because of his doubling ability. It's easy to get the impression that the NYC studio scene of the 50s & 60s wasn't very competitive, so often do we see the same section players on album after album after album. That would be incorrect - the competition was fierce. guys like Danny Bank got the call so many times becasue they were master musicians, and good deliver the total package of section playing (which is becoming something of a lost art afaic) quickly, consistently and reliably every time out. In short, Danny Bank is a master musician!
  19. PRETTY please?
  20. Jack Sheldon needs to write an autobiography. Preferably his.
  21. So what, she kept the semen in her mouth and then put it where, and then did what when to impregnate herself? Can semen survive such transport over such time?
  22. Some, not all. Still waiting for somebody to get on the stick & get the REAL BLACK, BROWN, & BEAUTIFUL out. That one needs to be heard.
  23. Will this help us know why she didn't come?
  24. WHOA! You RULE!
  25. Psss the salt then!
