Yep. I got one of those oldoldold fakebooks and that's where the have it.

I pre-ordered at Dusty Groove a while back. Order was filled and shipped today.

If cards are not charged until items are actually shipped, why is that preventing pre-ordering? Just tell people what the deal is upfront and let them get a place in line if they want to.

fwiw...my granddaughter (age 4) caught it at her preschool, had a fever for an hour, and then was asymptomatic for the rest of the time. We spent Halloween with her, they sent everybody home the following Tuesday. and she tested positive, results back on Thrsday. The next day, I got a Pfizer booster, a flu shot, and took a test to see if I had picked it up. Saturday, I found out that I had. Meanwhile, back in the jungle, Brenda had a hip replacement surgery the Tuesday after Halloween and came home that Wednesday. So now we were balancing quarantine and care-giving. There's a sitcom in there, somewhere... She was able to get out of the house on Saturday to get tested. She tested negative, and did so again this past Saturday, after spending all that time with me. I was basically asymptomatic the entire time. A little achy for a day, and a little more easily tired than usual for a week or so, but nothing dramatic. Still working from home and they gave me two weeks to not work at all. I only needed one week, to be honest. The granddaughter, meanwhile, has remained as active and bouncy as always. My takeaway from all this is that the vaccine regimen works. Even though I tested positive, all that vaccine goop in me kept the damage at bay. It could have been SO much worse. I feel blessed. Totally. My other takeaway is that a state administration which proactively forbids individual, privately owned day cares & preschools from requiring masks is presenting a clear and present concrete danger to its entire citizenry. One kid in the same class as my granddaughter ended up in the pediatric ICU with a collapsed lung. Perhaps nothing is a 100% effective prevention, but dammit, asking kids to wear a mask to a preschool/day care under the current conditions is as close as you can get. These are young children, and if we can't take reasonable actions to protect them (and by extension, all of us), then we are sick mentally and spiritually. It's a freaking death cult is what it is.

Credited but not really broadcast was that Rene Hernandez did those arrangements. Probably as directed by EP, but still...que rica esta musica!!! Rene Hernandez was an unsung giant, imo.

Yeah, the Capricorn records are the "must have"s imo. The later stuff is nice-enough (I suppose), but if I didn't have it, I don't know how hard I'd want to get it. But those Capricorn records are, arguably/in some ways, more Mwandishi-ish that Herbie's own records. Word at the time was that they captured the band's live sound in a way Herbie's records didn't.

This is good.

Monday is currently engaged in a project with Gil Goldstein. My expectations are high!

Spent a week at an Aebersold clinic where he was a clinician. One those people was totally clear-eyed about how thing worked (musically and otherwise). Great spirt, superb communicator, and all-around asset to the music. RIP.

Ferlita Lovington - A Fresh Cigarette In A Dirty Ashtray They still haven't found her body, but apparently nobody's looking. I don't think that's right, but, you know, once they learned that they were going to get an honest answer, they stopped asking me.

Ok, geek time - did Ray Charles do his own contracting? Or was he just the guy with a name?

Mathis ethereally coming out of the oboe solo still gives me chills. Johnny Mathis was a damn good singer. That's nice! Was Ray Charles just the name/leader or did he also do the arrangements? Did he use the same core group every time out? And for real, who was the base singer? That Thirl guy, or somebody else? I used to sneer at records like that...my bad. Section work, any section, is a beautiful thing when done well.

Which will also be digital? Probably?

Lalo Rodriguez giving back just as good as he gets, too! A lesser singer would have either gotten killed or, at best, gotten carried along for the ride. That combination was electrifying then, and whoa, they kept that going! I only speak minimal Spanish, but with that type of voice riding on top... that's just pure music! And Charlie Palmieri, holy shit indeed!

Mine got here today, looking forward to getting to it ASAP!
