Michael if i dont go, you can tell lou how much i wanted to see him, its just a logistical nightmare- in the past year ive driven >10 miles twice.....once to pick up the new car, and last week when i drove 15 miles over to the 'eastside' (nighmareish yuppie suburb of seattle). and even that was an ordeal. i know its physically possible, but the opportunity for difficulty and disaster is highly prevalant. i so wanted to expierence an actual lou concert

are you guys mad at me

dont know if i can do it. i went to a yes tribute show in Woodinville (15 mi. East of the city) last week and i was tired driving back from THAT at MIDNIGHT- i really dont know if i can do this. i have to be at work at 8:45 am. i sprained my back last night and it still hurts. i couldn't pull over and take a nap like usual. i want to see lou so bad, but i just dont know if im up for it

One night in 1961, Mr. Stephenson said, Smith’s microphones caught the drama of a drug overdose by the pianist Sonny Clark, who was squatting in the stairwell at the time. wtf did you guys know about this? theres a recording of sonny clarks death? has this been substantiated?

have you guys seen the newest QUARTER yet? THE DUKE ELLINGTON QUARTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Duke Ellington, hes on the back of the quarter!!! they should call it the george duke quarter.. cuse when u flip it back and forth, its like george, duke, george duke, most of the quarters havent had people on them and stuff, but now all of a sudden, i flipped it over, and wham theres DUKE ELLINGTON with his grand piano and a sheet of music, probably one of his great compositions-- it is a great moment in jazz history how the duke is now on money. best news of all: IT PAVES THE WAY FOR THE MOBLEY HALF-DOLLAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'EARTH TO ORGANISSMO' EARTH TO ORGANISSMO:: "RVG Series" is stinky-poo sound!! just day, i FINALLY re-bought my Ron McMaster "SIDEWINDER"...after it was MIA for 7 yrs, i replaced it w/ the "RVG", traded the old fashioned one and that was that..........UNTIL NOW: hooked it up w/ a sealed McMaster for 2.98 today....cover is waterdammed, in fact they had like 10 of em, all sealed, covers all cracked, 1st one i opened the booklet was STUCK to the cd....made him let me find another and the cd on that one was ok but the booket is like fused on the cd plastic, but looks fine. lemme give u all some inside info: save and get all the McMasters you can, these are the bomb ones, the RVG series is ok, if youre listening to LOU REED METAL MACHINE MUSIC no, i take that back PAT METHENY ZERO TOLERANCE FOR SILENCE (BOTH OF WHICH I HAVE NEVER HEARD) but for sidewinder, stick w/ ron. just think of Ron Jeremy, if Ron made a movie where he mastered cds

[lp in question]-- he looked and said, oh, it looks pretty beat up, id have to clean it and then....oh itll prob. be a dollar" so then i was all: can you go a dollar right now? he said: okay so what i have here is whats known as "vol. 1" of Jimmy Smith @ club baby grand.....red tinted cover....vinyl has no extreme deep scraches, but has definetly seen its share of use/abuse... now i know this is a particularly rare find on cd (or at least until recently...) but what about rearding the LP? is this one of jimmy's rarer bluenotes to find on LP too? now it isn't as if i just found a copy of "True Blue", or is it? any comparison as far as rarity of the item goes? you know?

Estelle Bennett, Member Of The Ronettes, Dies Posted on Saturday February 14, 2009 at 06:01 AM Add | Estelle Bennett, one of the Ronettes, the singing trio whose 1963 hit "Be My Baby" epitomized the famed "wall of sound" technique of its producer, Phil Spector, has died at her home in Englewood, N.J. She was 67. Bennett's brother-in-law, Jonathan Greenfield, said police found her dead in her apartment on Wednesday after relatives had been unable to contact her. The time and cause of death have not yet been determined. Greenfield is the manager and husband of Bennett's sister, Ronettes lead singer Ronnie Spector. The Ronettes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007; its Web site hails the group as "the premier act of the girl group era." Among their admirers were the Beatles and the Rolling Stones; their exotic hairstyles and makeup are aped by Amy Winehouse. The Ronettes — sisters Veronica "Ronnie" and Estelle Bennett and their cousin Nedra Talley — signed with Spector's Philles Records in 1963. Their recording of "Be My Baby" hit No. 2 on the charts that year. Among their other hits were "Walkin' in the Rain" and "Baby I Love You." They also did a memorable version of "Sleigh Ride" that appeared on Spector's "A Christmas Gift for You" album. Their last Philles single was "I Can Hear Music" in 1966. The songs feature Spector's elaborate arrangements that blend many instruments into a smooth, pulsating "wall." "They could sing all their way right through a wall of sound," Keith Richards of the Stones said as the Ronettes were inducted into the rock hall. "They didn't need anything. They touched my heart right there and then and they touch it still." But their string of hits had tailed off by the time they split around 1967. Ronnie Bennett had married Spector in 1968 but they divorced six years later. Greenfield said Ronnie Spector was devastated over her sister's death. "Estelle was Ronnie's sidekick in the Ronettes," Greenfield, of Newbury, Conn., said Thursday from New York. "She was very much into fashion and worked with Ronnie on the whole look and style of the Ronettes." After the group's breakup, Bennett rarely made public appearances. For nearly 15 years, the women waged a lengthy, and ultimately unsuccessful, court battle with Spector over royalties. They sued Spector in the late 1980s, saying he had cheated them out of royalties by using their music in ways not authorized by the their recording contract. For example, "Be My Baby" was played in the opening credits of the smash 1987 movie "Dirty Dancing." A trial was held in 1998, and in 2000, the judge ordered Spector to pay $2.6 million in past royalties and interest for the use of Ronettes songs as background music in movies, videocassette recordings, and advertising. But New York State's highest court threw out that ruling on appeal in 2002. The judges noted that the contract did not actually mention secondary rights to the use of music, so-called "synchronization rights," which are a more modern phenomenon in the entertainment industry. But under New York state contract law, the court said, the singers did not control those rights unless their contract specifically said they did. At the group's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2007, Ronnie Spector did not mention her ex-husband, but he sent a note that was read at the ceremony saying, "I wish them all the happiness and good fortune the world has to offer." In recent years, Phil Spector has been battling criminal charges in the shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson. Bennett was born in 1941, her sister in 1943 and Talley in 1945, according to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Web site. According to the book "He's a Rebel," a biography of Phil Spector by Mark Ribowsky, the Ronettes first began performing as the Darling Sisters and later worked as dancers at New York's Peppermint Lounge, the epicenter of the early 1960s dance craze, the Twist. Their first recording contract, with Colpix, went nowhere, but then they were signed by Spector. In addition to her sister, Bennett is survived by a daughter, Toyin Hunter of Santa Monica, Calif., and three grandsons.
