Calling Allen Ludden!!!

Oh my...nightime, tuxedo on Art, Chevy Vega as a prize, and opening question of "What are porno films?".

Ok, on One Way. Again, I wasn't paying attention to that.

Yes.

Tommy Jones...has this story been told? How did this guy always be able to put out records? I mean, JESUS, look at this!!!!

For you, there is Hulu and a free trial!

"Great", I don't know about, but certainly unexpected finds today. First, the weirdest one: Teo Macero? Marty Manning? Do I smell a spoof? or a goof? Or just a write-off? Time will tell... And then, some pre-fusion Jean Luc Ponty records, none of which have made it over to CD yet? Oh, Gerald Wilson! OOPS! This one has been on CD, and in expanded form. I wasn't paying attention then. MPS/BASF version with Unipak jacket. Made CD but once, and then only as a German release. Definitely not a Pony fan over the long haul, but those earlier records with Humair & Louiss are TOTALLY badass, and of course there's King Kong (whatever...). So, at a few bucks a pop, worth a chance, I hope.

It worries me that Jeff has vanished from our midsts?

Country AND Western?

If there are to be "collector" editions of full sets come available... The film "as is" is a national treasure. If you would have told me that I would be able to see Mavis Staples share a microphone with Mahalia Jackson in front of a massive outdoor crowd in Harlem...I would not have believed you. This is the real deal.

They are. Max, and then with Abbey. They are accompanied by the festival house band, none of whom I immediately recognized, although the tenor player looked very familiar.

You mean like "Yes I Can, No You Can't"? Or ..

Fashen Kenneth Patchen Clarence Carter

There is. He's playing with the house band. But he's also got Abbey with him.

Just got back. Totally awesome, essential American history, and do NOT walk out/shut off until it's COMPLETELY over.

We are going to see it in less than an hour.

Tried playing music like that at various times, with various people... it's a place of it's own, for sure. But it's a place I could never feel really comfortable in. Wasn't room for everything I need music to have to do that. Just one of those things, different peoples got different things

Where did they find these people?

Just checked, it's in theaters here. Gonna carpe diem this weekend.

evvabuddy's doing the boogaloo song records!

They're still open? Good to know! I shopped with Wavelength Audio a few times a decade or so ago when I was trying to replace my failed POSs as I went along. Loved that place, but their location (Skillman/Audelia, iirc) closed and the guy did consultations only) for a while...no idea if he's still around or not. But he was the kind of guy who you could explain your budget, explain your relaities (room, family noise, pets, etc.) and he would suggest some things to you. If he had it in store, you could take it home for a tryout, and if he didn't, you could still do that if you put down a deposit. I'm afraid that if I asked anybody today what they had for somebody who's slowly losing their hear to play in a room with tile floors, a ceiling fan, a sofa in front of the speakers, and a dog that's liable to start barking at anytime (and might only sometimes stop), their answer would be "what difference does it make?"...and they'd be right!

Sorry, can't unhear something like that.

Never bought the good stuff, when I had it (late 70s), from a chain. Local dealers with serious, patient, and personalized service, that was the way to go in this market. Bring some records in so they could get a grip on what you were looking for, and let them start working off of that. Not unlike buying from a good shoe store, get the best fit possible and no rush to find it. There were options then! I think i pieced together my system from three different stores, finally. And loved doing it almost as much as finally having it. Then my shit got ripped off and the money was gone. It's been down hill ever since as far as hi-fi options. Almost all the good stores are gone or now are "multi-media" dealers. I don't want to buy something without getting that good fit first. I know what music sounds like now, you don't forget that. God, shopping. What a 20th Century concept!

If you're a serious drinker, you file by Buzzed, High, Drunk, Crunk, Tore Down, or Somebody Else Do This.

Seems to be, yeah.
