Maybe you guys form Austin know about them. I was unfamiliar with them when I saw them a couple of nights ago. Great young bluesy band. Lewis on vocals and guitar with bass, drum, tenor sax, baritone sax and trumpet. Best act I saw in a month of a lot of concerts including Dr. John with the Blind Boys, The Black Keys and David Byrne with St.Vincent. All of whom I liked but these guys were the surprise.

I've seen it in an LA Times puzzle. Couple of weeks ago I think. CAn't remember the clue. Maybe "bandleader Jones".

Happy B'day 2012!

And just heard I wasn't getting Django either.

Salman Rushdie's "Joseph Anton". Edit because I couldn't write 4 words without mis-spelling one of them.

"I ain't mad at you pretty baby, I ain't mad at you."

Mills is also credited as composer of "St.James Infirmary" !!. Probably because he managed Cab Calloway but Cab wasn't the first to record it and the earlier recording lists a different composer. It's apparently a true folk song.

BTW Is the May 17th '47 Town Hall Concert available on cd?

Just got a notice saying I wasn't going to get the $1 Bechet I'd ordered. (I think I have most of it anyway.) Still waiting to hear about Django.

OK pm me with your snail mail address.

16 all from this millenium.

I'm cleaning out my office (gradually converting atoms to bytes) and came across some old issues of the late lamented Coda. Anyone here want them? I'm happy top give them to a good home. Otherwise I'll just toss them into the recycling bin.

How do you do that? And thanks Big Wheel.

I'm not tech savvy enough to do that. But trust me it's true. I saw it. Pictures of 8 of her friends (their FB pictures and what their latest searches were. She just told me that most people had 5 or 6 things listed. It's possible that this was just things they'd clicked on FB, but the headline said "Your friends' recent activity". Under the list of their "activity" its said "To see your friends' activities, turn your social experience ON. This will also let friends on Yahoo! and Facebook see the content you discover." i think they are referring to a yahoo preference.

I've been enjoying Facebook and admit to thinking that everyone here knocking it were just moldy figs or paranoid. Not anymore. My wife just posted the following on FB: "ATTN FRIENDS! You should be worried about this: I just had to switch to Safari (from Firefox) for web-browsing and on the home page (for some unknown reason my home page is Yahoo) it's showing me what a bunch of my FB friends (Yahoo users?) have recently searched on-line!!!! You may not want me--or anyone to know--and should check into how this happens. Is it Facebook? Safari? Yahoo? I'll send you a personal message if your info came up. ****Please post if you know anything about how this happens.***" To which I commented: "WTF!!??!"

Off to see Dr. John and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Not sure if they're going to play together.

This sounds like a conversation that was on Treme a couple of weeks ago.

Who/what are "the camels"?

Me too. Though I paid $2.98 for shipping.

I use Airport expresses as relays.

IIRC In it's earliest days The Clayton-Hamilton band had that kind of mix. In fact (again) IIRC including Snooky Young.

IIRC everything here is on the Mosaic set except the Ebony Rhapsody rehearsal which I don't think is found anywhere else. Also for some reason one cut only which was originally on RCA-- not srue why it was included. If you can't afford the Mosaic get this set! Edited to add that there are 2 takes of Ebony Rhapsody on the 4 cd set. Not sure which cd they were on. Also can't remember if they were both "rehearsals".

Starship Troopers. This may not count because I think they did it on purpose.

This film seems to have made a splash at the NY Film Festival. You can read about it and see clips here: https://www.facebook.com/SavoyKing I was very peripherally involved so this is not an unbiased plug.
