US3 We 5 Them

That picture came from Amazon. Apparently they sell this as a window sticker or something. I thought it was really weird, but

I don't want the CD version, so now we can all calm down! 🤡

Have you read Hit Men?

Right. The closest thing would be the quintet cuts without the bass overdubs. But that was on the initial release, albeit briefly, and has been on the big Mingus box for several decades now. I would imagine that at this point, the Internet can be your friend.

Oh my... Make mine: Lockjaw trumps anybody.

Gomez and Mortica are still the sexiest sitcom couple ever! Plus all the OG cast except Blossom Rock are here. So yes, Uncle Fester in fine form. Civilians Parley Baer and Vito Scotti are in tow. Veterans making it work! Guys like that amaze me to no end, they just know how to do it. It's 1977, it's NBC, and if you don't have a thing for the initial series and/or Morticia, don't waste you time. But I am. I still do, and I certainly did not!

My dog is also named Fiona, and my reaction is the same as yours.

Your turntable caught fire? Yikes!!!

They call this a novel, but I'm not sure that it really is. Reads more like history with the names changed to protect against lawsuits.

Can't tell if this corn dog is funny, cute, or creepy. Thoughts?

Paramount+ has a buttload full of Gunsmoke so we're going to be doing that for a while. I came of age in the Festus era so getting to see Dennis Weaver as Chester is proving to be quite the treat!

No need for a montuno of it's not that type of music. If it's not, do you save them for slower tempos? I think that a montuno on a ballad/bolero can be very sexy if it's all the way in the pocket! Good luck on the gig., Have fun with it!

No montunos?

Are we totally not considering any residual/subliminal African influences? Or are we accepting that as a given?

https://www.nps.gov/bowa/index.htm No more than 10 miles from my late in-laws retirement house. Passed by there for years, they had no idea what it was. Finally talked them into going. Pretty well-kept grounds of no small historical importance. Calling it a "gift shop" is perhaps careless, "visitor center" would be more like it. But they sold records!!!!

When asked (and I had to ask, because I knew a little bit about what it was), they described it as "bluegrass"... 😃

In the gift shop of the Booker T. Washington National Monument (at least when we visited there in the late 1990s) they had various LPs of Black String Music, mostly "historical" but a few of recent vintage, for sale in a big box. They had apparently learned some kind of lesson because on the front of the box was the none-too-subtle Magic Marker message NOT BLUES!!! NOT JAZZ!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
