Lemme pop it in and get back to you. (no wisecracks, please!)

It might be a talking mule, or it might be Jessica Lange. Feel lucky?

Y'all do whatcha gotta do to stay safe. And to protect your collections! Here's directing some focused and directed positive mental/spiritual energy (ie -a prayer) your way. Hope nobody's offended by that.

Dizzy used to introduce that song by saying that he wrote it on a garbage can lid in Henderson, Tx, so if you pass through Kilgore on the way home, stop by and say "howdy" to my aunt and uncle. They'll be good for a meal and some beer, too.

Hey - I like the second BN Grant Green as much as the first one! But not quite as much as the third one.

Discographical information is as follows - Carlton LP 12/104 (released in 1958) Apparently this has been reissued on CD in Japan, but seeing as how all the Carlton master tapes have been mysteriously lost (see HERE.) it's an LP dub, and not an unobvious one either). Tunes are: Crazy Rhythm Patsy Stuffy (yes, Hawk's tune) Savoy (as in Stompin' at the...) The Man I Love Hot Rod Gully Jumper Nitecap Topsy Sleepy Time Down South Playing time is between 36-37 minutes. Personnel is Ellis; Tony Morell as/fl; Jerry Christy - b; Bennie Steele - dr The other players are competent, featured as "relief", and no more. It's really Ellis' show here. Found another Ellis album (aside from some squaredance calling records on Decca tthat are co-led by a "Lloyd Ellis", may or may not be the same guy) HERE. You gotta love the title (at least I do) - SO TALL, SO COOL. Sounds like a Dexter side!

I think Little Debbie's getting too big for her bloomers, that's what I think.

Yankee.

But they miss YOU! Do you hear them crying your name? Do you see that strange rustling movement in the shrubs outside your house? Do you hear the "click" on the phone lines every time you make a call? Have you seen any pods under your bed lately? It is those discs, my friend, doing all that is within there power to unite with you. They are powerful creatures, and will stop at nothing to achieve their goal, including anthromorphisation. Resistance is futile. My advice? Buy them anyway. You don't have to actually LISTEN to them, just have them in your possession. That is the only way that they will be happy. And that is the only way that they will let you have a moment's peace. Hear me now and believe me later. This from one who knows.

There was talk this morning on AAJ about working out the Nads. That usually puts a smile on MY face!

Well, as fate would have it, a friend sent me a dub of this album, and "superpicker" seems an apt description. Not really "jazz" as we know it (although all the tunes have a "West Coast" kind of groove to them), but the guy's got pretty impressive chops - very clean, very fleet, a fat tone on the bottom end of the axe (that always impresses me for some reason), total ease with harmonics, the whole shebang of guitaristic techniques flawlessly executed in good taste. And he doesn't NOT swing. Not a side I'm likely to listen to w/any regularity, but for those who are "guitar geeks", I'd think that this one would be worth a checkout or two. I enjoyed/appreciated it as a display of an instrument being very well-played, and I got a corner of my plate reserved for that type of thing. As for being a Vegas sideman, let us not forget that James Moody toiled in those same pits for a few years in the late-60s/early-70s, as did Red Rodney & Carl Fontana (I think). A deathbed of creative opportunities, but a hotbead of highly skilled instrumentalists. In those days, you had to be a helluva player to work on that circuit.

Your loss, dude. He's coming out of a Cannonball-esque thing here, Heath's showing the first inklings of a Trane influence, and the rhythm section swings like they did back in those days. Collectables is cheap. Dig in the sofa and see what's there. Trust me!

You meant to tell me that "Peanuts Hucko" ISN'T an assumed name?

Whazzup with THIS?

Does the lack of a response mean that this item is not in discographies or that there is a suspicion that the inquiry is somehow bogus? If it's the latter, I assure you that it's not. Real album, real details. If it's the former, oh well!

I had the requisite obis, but: A) I don't wear a watch either B) I kinda liked having the obis and C) The combination of Blue Note and timepieces has a less than illustrious history, as witnessed by

Made for mixin'!

Glad to return one of many favors owed.

No reason why a thread can't operate on multiple layers simultaneously, especially if it was started that way.

How do you take your eggs?

SIDE ONE - Straight No Filter Chain Reaction Soft Impressions SIDE TWO - Third Time Around Hank's Waltz The Feelin's Good

It's a very good album. Enjoy!

It's a Bunky Green record with Donald Byrd (and Jimmy Heath, Wynton Kelley, Larry Ridley, and Jimmy Cobb). Currently available on Collectables: although that's not the original cover. If that matters.

There's a Wonder/Hostess Thrift Shop 1.6 miles from my house. 3 pkgs of Twinkies for a buck, and all kinds of bread for 65 cents a loaf. HANG ON HOSTESS!!!

You eat grits? My respect has just more than doubled!
