Is there supposed to be an image?

Remind me not to include any Hector Fajardo on my BFT!

So, how "enjoyable" are you, Larry?

New Tolliver was recorded November, 1977 in Paris. The band consists of Tolliver (tp), Nathan Page (guitar), Steve Novosel (bass) and Alvin Queen (drs). Tracks are: "Earl's World", "Impact", "Compassion" and "Thruth". Sorry, I don't have the Brooks... This appears to be the same as Strata-East CD SECD 9011, Charles Tolliver COMPASSION. However, the CD lists recording location as Soundwave Studios, New York. I've got the Strata-East/Bellaphon CD. Has it been issued in any other form(s) besides these two?

Reason i say that is because the Mastersounds never, to my knowledge, went in for the overt "classical" tinges that the MJQ did, instead going for a more "block" type group sound, ala Shearing (whose sound, it must be noted, was not originally the hackneyed lounge fodder it became).

So Rachel, I take it you don't work in ticket sales.

A word to the wise...

In that photo, she's kinda got that "perpetual PMS" look to her, accented by the ill-fitting, ugly-ass ensemble that NEVER looked cool. To say nothing of the helmet-head hair. In short, the LAST combination of elements I'd want to get to know. "Come to me"? No, babe, I'm staying as far the hell away as I can! Experience is the best teacher.

If you have to ask...

Damn straight!

Vernard's recorded a fair amount of stuff over the years for local/regional Gospel lables. Might be hard to find. I don't have but his first(?) LP myself. But if you start hunting used Gospel LPs online and elsewhere (try thrift shops, especially those "in the hood"), you never know what you'll find. As for CDs, it's just been relatively recently that Vernard's gotten "exposure", so what you find on AMG snd such is probably all the "name brand" stuff that there's been.

Especially if he drove one of those water cars that George Fenneman used in the Lipton Instant Iced Tea commercial!

Fuuny thing is that by the time TBB was a hit, Davey Jones & The Monkees were serious "has-beens" w/no resect at all. So it was a totally unhip thing to focus on. As was the show itself in those days. Wait long enough, and everything gets hip, I guess.

This has to be one of the most ridiculous comments I've ever read on this or any other board. I might not be so blunt about it, but... Then again, I might be so blunt about it.

But with a cargo door?

Well, here's a true story: In the late 1970s. I worked as an aide in a psychiatric hospital. Part of the gig was to mingle with the patients, playing Scrabble, shooting the bull, etc. One day I'm sitting arounf talking to one patient who's half-conversing while all the while looking out the window. All of a sudden, he jumps up and says, "LOOK, IT'S JESUS!!!" I turned around, and all I saw was a white panel truck. "Dude," I said, "that's just a panel truck. Relax." The patient said, quite emphatically, "DAMMIT JIM, I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JESUS AND A PANEL TRUCK!" One of us had to be wrong....

Congrats, Jim! But, did you remember to rotate your tires? Oddly enough, I had spent that morning at Firestone getting an allignment and a rotation.

NEVER AGAIN! is my favorite, but the next one on Muse, FEELIN IT TOGETHER, might also be.

Vernard's a Fort Worth cat, and has been making records for between 25-30 years!

Not enough...

From what I've heard of The Mastersounds, they're were closer to Shearing than MJQ, all things considered.

Wasn't "Tramp" one of those L.A. sides? I wondered what you waz thinkin'...

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! NOT gonna happen!

WHOA!!!!

Little Dee's not in the picture, though.
