Here's one:

Stay strong!

I like this guy, for some reason. Maybe it's the lack of "New York" in his playing.

I've never really understood this phrase, "agree to disagree"...a difference of opinion naturally occurs, it is not negotiated. Regardless of if we do it civilly or otherwise, the disagreement still exists. If we agree to not disagree, then we agree (to at least some meaningful extent). And if we don't agree to disagree, then what...does that place us at agreement again? I think it's just code for "I think you're full of shit, but I ain't gonna waste my time talking about it with you", but hey, why be direct when there's euphemism available?

You guys with good hi-fi record players are missing out on all the fun! Cornbread's a motherfucker!

not getting the extracurricular stuff here, either, fwiw.

He seemed to be a really nice guy. Glad to hear that he's busy and happy for the foreseeable future!

Welcome to The Home Of Happy Headphones, my name is Hal, and I'll be your Session Facilitator. It's a pretty good record.

I once heard "A Smooth One" in a 70s prono movie. It elevated the scene, believe me.

yeah, THAT Ed Townsend.

Do you know what kind of lumber was used to build that house? I ask because I've got an old friend who bought and old house in St. Louis decades ago, and come to find out, the joists and beams are all from some tree that's now extinct! It's a sturdy wood, and he said he's had offers to buy the house just to raze it and get that wood. Bizarre, I know. But if you're taking the house to auction, hey, every selling point helps. That cross-stitch though, my god...keep that with you or your dad by any means necessary. That thing is amazing.

ALL that frisky are up in there!

Indeed!

and then raise your fist and yell out "FUCK YOU, KING OF SWING".

It's a funny (in a good way) record. Recorded at a live gig, and it's very much got a "Jazz In The Park" blankets and picnics type vibe going on, definitely "for the people", this is not the way you normally hear Monk, ever. But, the vibe is true, King Britt adds some ambience that quirks things up just enough, and the whole thing has got pocket out the ass. At first I was like, "seriously? Uh....", but then things got going and, yeah, folks came to play, and play they most certainly did!
