Mainstream was a legit label, but that does not mean that Bob Shad was not above the usual practices of the time, if you know what I mean. I think the quest is who was Ellen? R would be Robert, right? I'm looking at a few labels of the Sittin' In With label 78s, and they don't list writing credits, just publishing. yeah, look at this:

How much are you gonna ask for that Hodges? and what condition is it in?

Now, can somebody explain the Bill Murray decals?

Bob Shad was directly involved with the original recordings, and Mainstream was a legit label. The Sittin' In With label material was reissued several time on Mainstream LP, although not to this extent. I have it as: but it had a previous life as:

Only been to one WS game, and it was like no other ballgame I've been to, ever. Enjoy, savor every second of it. In fact, come early and stay late, regardless of outcome!

So, are the Astros still cheating, or are they just playing really good ball?

So whoever that is down front is not doing some kind of jigglystomping dance?

Ok, what happened there?

Haven't seen it, still trying to figure out the WTF?ness of this one, which I have seen may times in many places:

For some reason, that's the only Yes record that ever clicked for me. Until it stopped clicking anyway, which was about a year after it clicked. I do remember liking the arrangements. I alos remember totally ignoring the lyrics becausejust because.

There it is.

She claims that Joe Fields still owes her money.

No idea. People come to NT from all different places. It was a fluke that we were on the same gig, this band only sometimes hired a bari player, but there was about a six week I typed month, but meant week, sorry) period where they had the budget for it, they gave Frank the call and he took it. He was doing the NT thing at the time, which is kind of a "two different worlds" thing between the school and the working stiff type gigs. But hey, it was a treat, it really was.

Wow, that didn't take long!!!! Congratulations!!!

Mario Rivera could play. Not a bear to poke, not at all.

Going to post the reveal next weekend. Any further guesses and/ or commentary are certainly welcome. #5 is findable, I think, so one last clue - it's a reissued 78, and I have a recording date for it of 1903. It's both the oldest recording and the newest release of this BFT!

I knew Frank for a quick minute when we played some weddings together over a six month or so period. I found him to be a delightful player even in that stilted context. More importantly, I found him to be a gas as a person, an animated conversationalist with a broad knowledge base and an animated wit. People like that, you like to see them do well!

Have you tried The Ocho?

I watched that Boston Pops broadcast back in the day. There was another song they did together, something more up, forget what it was. They were trading fours and Wynton tried to get "modern" by playing some quartal or chromatic thing, you know, HIPMODERN and Sarah just sang it back to him, with elaboration and without missing a beat or batting an eye. So when Betty Carter handed Branford his ass back to him on the Night Music show that one time, I was like, wow, these kids don't learn, do the... LOL.

None of the other WBJ albums have a cat on them.

Earl Hines' toupee?
