It's Baltimore, Jake. Forget about it.

Country people got some names, now. "Demetriss Tapp"...I coulda gone to high school with her (although I didn't). Never mind who my wife went to high school with in Boomer, West Virginia! Y'all come live here for a while, in the American South, in a warm weather/agricultural climate and around people of entirely rural heritage (or what's left of it....more than you might think). Don't form assumptions based on impressions and/or limited and controlled exposures. Come see the real world of the real people. Nothing about that record sounds "black", it couldn't be anything but a "country" record. Soulful, yes, plenty. But it's a "country" soul, and the way the "discussion" has been formed over the decades, "country" is coded as "white", and "soulful" as "black". That's bullshit, it really, really is, but there we go again with categories making it too easy to think without thinking, to feel without feeling. Nancy Adams, however...just file that one under WRONG.

Outdoor! August! Houston! Will there be any Canadians in the band? But seriously, who's in the band/on the gig these days?

Downright rambunctious at times!

What bugs me more than anything else about that Nancy Adams version is the harmony, like they're trying to be "jazzy" but with no sense of a point to it, no reason whatsoever, just put some weirdass reharm in there, hey, it will be a hip pop record then, right? WRONG. But dig this - Nancy Adams was (later?) married to Fred Huddleston, who wrote the exquisite "Growin' My Own" that Le Grand Mellon did for Columbia. so maybe Huddleston got her out of whatever Hovering Hell Of Hipsquare Incompetency that resulted in that record. As one who prays for the redemption of all souls, even the evil ones, I certainly hope so. Oh, but, "Lipstick Paint A Smile On Me" was a Merle Kilgore song. Certainly not HIS fault.

Even fewer get to be on an album cover!

Yeah, the looking for drugs part is not interesting. I mean, hell, everybody looks, that's hardly a story. I want to know if they found what they were looking for, and what happened after they did, if they did.

I would have asked Warne about Bach...if I would have known enough to. And, of course, if I had ever met him.

How in hell's unholy name do you hear that? That's nothing but Country! The tic-tack bass alone should be enough, but Demetriss Tapp's voice is so very NOT "black". And those lyrics...that's a country song. I had not heard of Demetriss Tapp (a name which strengthens my theory that what uninformed "white people" don't get is that country white and country black have more in common than the enemy enourages them to realize...country is country, period!) until this, but apparently she's one of those people who have survived several decades of the industry and came out alive and self-directed, after a fashion. https://www.amazon.com/My-Most-Requested-Demetriss-Tapp/dp/B075G4717L/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Demetriss+Tapp&qid=1564747296&s=dmusic&search-type=ss&sr=1-1#customerReviews

You won't have to lick it, I hope.

Arthur Rhames?

Hell, I remember people saying something similar about Warne Marsh...cold, too intellectual, no heart, etc.

Right: Wrong: Why they do that?

I actually like Pass on his early records on World Pacific Jazz Pacific World Jazzjazz. Something happened though, by the time he got to Pablo, all the good was gone, at least for me. I went to school with a guy who was a student of his. He claimed it was the aftereffect of all the smack, but I was like, no, not unless he kept using after he allegedly cleaned up. Something else besides that. He did the WPJPBJ thing for how long, 7-8 years? Shit was all good there. But then...

Hey, if you really want to know, you'll figure it out on your own. If you don't really want to know, don't bother. I don't get paid by the understanding, and therefore am not incentivized to broaden out the accessibility factor to a general audience.

Ah, ok. I usually don't watch Cartoon Network for sports. Used to, but when they changed Astro from a dog into a team, hey, meat is murder, etc. Maybe it will be on Roku in a few years?

Yes, it would be helpful to create a new post in this thread that lists what items still remain available.

They threw pitches from outer space and back in time? All at once? Why was this not on TV?

Have they played the All Star Game yet? Who won?

Yeah, well, good luck on all that.

I'm not at all intrigued by Woodstock, but I am certainly intrigued by a Tarrentino Does Tate joint.
