There's a lesson to be learned just by comparing the word "bad" in each version.

Contrast and compare: Same words, different story.

Exactly. Blues from source cultures is no different. And it's a language that you DO speak! Ok, listen any Robert Johnson record and then compare that to just reading the word by themselves. Or any Blues record that's not some fizzied up re-creation. Acting is not a bad comparison, not at all. A story is being told, and it was to fully exist on paper, actors would be redundant.

There's meanings in the voices that transcends written transcriptions. Vocal inflections need to be understood, not just in music, but in life.

I swear, I did not understand a word the first time through...and this is my native tongue... allegedly. https://texasarchive.org/2009_03805?b=0

EXOTIC!!!

A perhaps equally salient point is that Alphonse Mouzon never gained traction as a leader in the US marketplace. Why that is, I couldn't tell you. Management, personal style, bad breath, I do not know. But after his early 70s BN albums...not a lot of noise afterward

They pitched the Rangers really well (barring the last of the 9th of Game One, although they got out of that one finally), although the Ranger pitchers also stepped in it all three games. The good news is that Seattle also swept Houston, so they stay 2.5 back. The bad news is that the Mariners are now just 3 games back of the Rangers. This is still an unproven team, these Rangers. I'm still gonna need some convincing. But I'm more than willing to be convinced....

Reading they lyrics is one thing, but I'd think that actually hearing them sung (by some real/original performers) would be a lot better.

This otoh is a very good, sublime record of stoney Rhodes vibes:

Shawn Phillips was an interesting character. Pete Robinson was heavily involved at first, not far removed from his days as a Don Ellis hellraiser.

Anybody have any The Sandpipers records?

I wish my wife kept track of the time for me!

The JFK assassination with looked at as a Dallas thing (and not without reason... But this was UT, and back then, UT was kinda like a secular Vatican of Texas. So...yeah.

That's a really good record.

I think Mark was just pointing out that the are certain common organizational points in Joe's solo here and the one on Live In Japan.

You'd be hard pressed to tell it today, but the Whitman shooting really traumatized parts of Texas for a while. It was the OG mass shooting. I would like to see that move. I see it's on Prime.

Don Ellis scored a made for TV movie about Charles Whitman? Where has this been all my life?

Have you ever tried Martini & Rossi? Not to my liking...
