Listening to Billy on Spotify and see that most songs have 20,000 or so plays except for something called "Christmas Eve" which has 8 million plays and is truly awful.

Not sure from this article if they've bought more than the publishing rights for his compositions. Maybe the rights to future releases of the concerts he recorded or even his royalties from other recordings.

The booklet discusses Granz's late adaptation of stereo. Bones Howe, who engineered many of the Granz studio sessions, told me that he was so pissed at Granz's recalcitrance that he personally paid to make stereo tapes at some sessions. I asked if he still had them, but he said he'd later sold them all to Granz.

God wiling and the creek don't rise I'll see you there.

Friend of mine interviewed Q about a year ago. Said he was fine.

What's the record with Benny Carter called? I want that.

Just read this footnote: This record would call for the bow and some serious walking. Jean-Luc Picard, “Ray Brown—Double Bass Master Class.avi,” www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmoIvdWJpdQ. Jean-Luc Picard? Isn't he a Star Trek character?

David Hajdu has an essay in which he suggests that Eckstine was sort of black-listed because of his attractiveness to to young white girls. I like Hajdu but he's not one to let nuance get in the way of a good story.

I'm not sure but I think radio broadcasts are under different copyrights than recordings. (And different contract law.)

I got this a few years ago on cd and Amazon is saying a cd will be available again in April.

is it considered "political" to point out that the daughter of this board's founder is attending Michigan State where there was recently a shooting? She and her roommates are now safe at Jim's but shouldn't we be offering support to him after what was a terrible experience?

Our 3 year old grandson had never seen a radio until he came to our house. My point being that his parents don't have one in the house but they listen to streamed music all the time. Are there any cars that come without radios?

Haven't read that but it's a common practice.

Story doesn't quite make sense but I though Winna Winifried was terrific though she doesn't seem to have had much of a career: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0935108/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

I've been gradually catching up with the few Renoir's I've never seen. Just saw the unfinished, and unsuccessful, "La nuit du carrefour", and even it was interesting. (It's way more unfinished than A Day in the Country which seems quite complete to me.

Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Am I the only one who hasn't gotten their's yet?

I saw them a few years ago. They had a great band. (including Buddy Miller). I never got Zeppelin but I've seen Plant a few times and he was really good.

I have a vague memory (most of my memories are vague) of hearing about these. Could the "working musician" who had them be Catherine Russell? Whatever the case I'm getting this.

RCA and Columbia are now both owned by Sony. So I guess the vintage logos refer to the present labels. (It is confusing.)

It does contain 2 cuts that I believe can't be found elsewhere: "rehearsals" of Ebony Rhapsody for the film Murder at the Vanities

Is this a cd?

Can you play Ornithology along with it? 🙂

According to the LA Times a book by Kelley was cited as one of the reasons for Florida banning AP African American studies. (I realize that this may be deemed political but I would think it is of interest to most readers on this board.)

Anyone notice the "if." at the beginning of this paragraph. Also it doesn't say it will be bankrupt even in 2096. And the people who get the maximum payout also have to pay in the maximum, which, I believe has just been raised though it should be raised more. As bresna says payments to social security max out after $160,000 income but the but the payouts from Social Security are also capped. And I hate to say that in the US life expectancy has fallen by about 2 years which saves Social Security money. Speaking of which I'd take a bet that social security will be around in 10 years but I probably won't be around to collect.

Bullshit.
