Haven't given this much thought, but I think I'll suggest that my kids contact this board and see if they can find someone who will sell off the stuff and donate it to Jim to maintain the board. (Even though I often think it should be left to rot.)
Maybe the upcoming Pops will sell so well that they and Sony could be convinced to do a package of the post Hot 5 and 7 big band material owned by Sony. (I'm reading Ricky Riccardi's new book so I'm having pipe dreams-- though most of what he writes about is available now.)
No shipping notice but supposed to arrive Tuesday. According to the ad for it, I could get the Lp by Sunday.
And I just discovered it's now on Spotify.
Well so much for no fees on a Discovery card. I just tried to use one and was told there would be a charge. Maybe it ended with their 5% back on Paypal offer.
This is a great piece of writing. I was struck that Crouch toughened his conversation in editing it for print whereas most people would soften what they've said before publishing it. Many years ago I did a radio show with the film critic Andrew Sarris who was was very opinionated in his writings but I was surprised to find him very agreeable and open in conversation.
Wow! For some reason the idea of Haynes with Monk just sounds great to me. Did they ever record together? (I know I could probably research it but I'm old and tired right now.)
