Mingus worked in Rey's band. I remember the King Family show, and it was as described above. The only cool thing was that Alvino had his console guitar hooked up to run his voice through it or something. It was called a "talking guitar". Pretty nifty.

Same here!

The Xanadu stuff is PRIME!

I just contacted him through the Mosaic site. Anybody can do it! It's a small operation, staffwise, so just specify in the body of your message that it's for Mike. Odds are pretty godd that he'll be the one to read it first anyway. I've sent occasional mail, postal and e-, for about 20 years now and have never failed to get a response in kind.

Y'all are just plain WRONG!

I JUST GOT AN E-MAIL FROM MICHAEL CUSCUNA!!!!!!!!!!! I'm influencing reissue policy!!!!!!

"I Wanna Be Like You" ROCKS!

Sorta the Marshall Royal of R&B. An unsung hero, for sure. Somebody needs to start a Johnny Otis thread around here. RIP, and thanks.

Just got a call from Dex. He says "Thanx!" to all.

Ditka.

Truth is what you have left over when you take the facts out. No, wait a minute, that's Reagan... Truth is... Oh hell, I don't know! If you have to know, you'll never ask!

HASPY BIRSDAY JIM!!!

Tell me something I DON'T know! Economy of expression - another trait I admire so much in Miles. Oh, the irony...

Gay? no. But there have been rumors about Miles being bisexual. The revised edition of the Ian Carr biography touches on this without stating anything definitively, and there's been "word on the street" (ALWAYS a reliable source, doncha' know... ) for as long as I can remember.

Got your Googles open? Ready? Ok... Find me a scan of the ORIGINAL cover to Charles Earland's LEAVING THIS PLANET. Do that, and THEN I'll wish you a haspy birsday!

My copy's on the way. Hang tight.

5-5-3-6-5-3 = "Ring Around The Rosey". So, which came first?

Where were you when the Manson trial was going on?

Does the CD spine look like this? I don't THINK so! Red, black, and green. Can you tell your babies what they mean?

Leaving WHAT planet?

THIS is the original, and still the best!

...but HATE that cover!

LOVE that album...

Ok, THAT DOES IT!!!!!
