We still talkin' about Cilantro? Yes, although she grows other herbs as well. But not THAT one - we're both too old for that.

Only one, and it's one that to the best of my knowledge has not yet been reissued on CD. Definitely not American CD, anyway.

Keep the faith, Musical Marine. See you when you get home, ok?

Not this time!

The sandwich is remembered only because it was the cause of me thinking that Glen Campbell was George Benson! Hey Jim - do you have/have you heard that Columbia live thing w/the Grimes stuff on it I mentioned early? Pretty intense stuff!

LTB grows her/our own, so we have it at our ready disposal. And she uses it liberally. Yet another reason why I love that woman.

Rolf, perhaps?

I saw Glen Campell jam w/George Benson on a Midnight Special (an NBC TV music show for all you kids out there) last century, and Campbell more than held his own, to the point where when they started trading fours, I was in the kitchen making a sandwich not looking at the TV and assumed that what turned out to be Campell was in fact Benson, and vice-versa. Who knew?

I wonder if the Carrier disc I heard is noticably different than the one with Bley, et. al., or if we're hearing him differently? Only one way to find out...

Good guess in terms of the Motown connection, but no. The person in question was featured throughout the hit album not as a section player, rhythm or otherwise. And the time frame is late-60s for the BN album, early 70s for the hit album.

Ok, I don't want no trouble with the Trivia Police, so let me add that the hit album in question was on a Motown subsidiary label, not the Motown label per se. But the artist whose album it was was/is easily, readily, and ubiquitously refered to as a "Motown" artist, and justly so, matters of actual label notwithstanding.

Oh HELL yeah!

The series used to be called "Jazz Masters Of The .XXs", and is indeed most excellent. "JAzz Masters Of The 50s" by Joe Goldberg was somehow in the public library of little Gladewater, Tx when I first started getting into jazz, and I checked and rechecked it out (and read and reread it) continuously for at least 2.5 years before my folks finally got me a copy of my own. I still think it's a very good book.

What sideman on a fairly obscure late-1960s BN album went on to be featured quite prominently on a very high-profile Motown album from the early 1970s?

You can always bathe with it!

My son likes 311 quite a lot, and from what he's played me of them, I do too.

Well, fuck me naked and take a picture for your momma! I also have that album. "Borrowed" it from a cat I was on the road with. The guy left abruptly, left no forwarding address and didn't ask for it back before he left, so it's mine until further notice, right? Yeah, that's the ticket... Problem was, it was in somewhat, uh, "distressed" condition, so I've never really listened to it other than a few times over the last 20 years. Definitely not enough to "know" anything off of it. But now... Just in case, btw, what's the statute of limitations for somebody finding you and asking for thier stuff back?

Cilantro would make feces taste good. But there's more to it that that! Do we all love cilantro, or are some of us, uh.... Never mind. CELEBRATE CILANTRO!!!!!

HOWDY! A P P Y'all B I R T Have D A Good 'un Y

he got wombled Ohhhhhhh, so THAT'S what it was!

Preston Love also played in Basie's mid/late 40s band, and was a longtime associate of Johnny Otis. I've got that album, actually. Bought it just for the cover back in the day. Most of it has a weird tremelo effect running through it, which gives it an underwater Earl Bostic kind of sound, like if Sea Hunt had used instrumental R&B for a soundtrack, but the last two cuts drop the effects and are prime jump blues. I'm slowly but surely finding out that Johnny Otis' groups have provided safe have for more than a few above-average or better players over the years, which means that all those Otis and Otis related releases of the lst 25 or so years that I blew off becasue they were on homemade labels and because I thought that it was a bunch over past their prime cats are now looking a LOT more desireable. When they can be found that is. I didn't adopt this "carpe diem" crap just because it sounds good, doncha' know...

I wonder if Bob dole started talking about his johnson in the third person once he got that Viagra deal?

How 'bout that Roy Wood?

Looked at the site, looked nice. Listened to the samples, sounds nice. Are there plans for an English version and/or direct online ordering?

Not only can he sing, but he can dance just as good as he walk. Too bad the Army got him.
