  1. Are these from the Savory Collection?
  2. NZ does have no cases in the hospital.
  3. I'm fascinated by the origins of Down the Road Apiece.
  4. The first Library of America Hemingway! What's that about? IIRC The film of To Have and To Have Not is the only film on which one Nobel Prize winner gets credit on a screenplay adapted from another Nobel Prize winner. And it's so far removed from the book that Warner Brothers then did make a film that is based on the book.
  5. New Zealand for example. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-52450978
  6. Can't you be positive without being serious? Most great jazzers used humour at times.
  7. My wife said she also read that people don't get infected a second time : they just think the original infection has gone away when it hasn't. They feel better for a while, then not so much. But I'd also worry about who the healthy people are: If you take out the old (which includes people much younger than me), the overweight, those with existing illnesses, and smokers, haven't you excluded a large percentage of the population?
  8. Speaking of the science: there are people (e.g.Thomas Friedman) arguing that allowing "healthy" people to get the disease will cause "herd immunity". But doesn't that require those who've had the virus to become immune, which doesn't seem to be the case?
  9. IIRC he was using 3 bass players the last time I saw him. An idea I thought he stole from Ornette.
  10. My degree is in Drama and I wrote my Phd thesis on a film topic, but I became a producer because a friend asked me to come to Hollywood and work with him. Basically nepotism but he wasn't a relative. Until then I had been an academic but always interested in film and working on the periphery of he business-- eg as a critic and writer and distributor while I was teaching.
  11. Wayne needs a fundraiser?!! The health system in this country stinks.
  12. There are parts of Just Jazz concerts in some of the AFRS Jubilee shows that were hosted by Gene Norman. Many of them can be found online.
  13. $230! Must be worldwide. IIRC did just under $100 mil domestic. Yes I met him and got many a Cuban cigar from him but I don't think he ever knew my name.
  14. Is that back when Hart House didn't allow women? (As I think of it, it couldn't have been because they were already allowing women when I was at UofT in the '60's.) I think of the big change as being in the '80s. In Ghostbusters (1984) the GBs all smoke. By GBII in 1989 there's no smoking.
  15. Hey, I was one of the producers of that movie.
  16. I think smoking would still be a deal breaker for me. Kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray. Also smokers smell bad.
  17. Not me. I got 481 even though I ordered it within minutes of getting the first notice. Can't complain: I thought it arrived in a reasonable time. BTW Someone has obviously noticed that the titles of disc 5 are listed in the wrong order-- whoever has listed them correctly for whatever system iTunes (or is it just Music now?) uses to i.d. titles .
  18. I saw the quartet with Brookmeyer some 50+ years ago and really like the sextet recordings.
  19. I think (don't really know) that it's not cause and effect-- you don't get put on a ventilator till you're in big trouble. Presumably. the ventilator increases your chance of survival.
  20. BTW The announcer makes it seem that it's Sonny on Mooche the Moose but Losin implies that it's Hank. Opinions? Is it possibly both of them? Seems they're both on Ornithology-- at least during the heads. BTW The announcer makes it seem that it's Sonny on Mooche the Moose but Losin implies that it's Hank. Opinions?

  21. Billy Idol used to coach in my son's Little League league. Once sang the national anthem before a game.
  22. Wow! Thanks! Where'd you get this? I'm trying to collect everything Losin lists for Bird but I thought I'd never find this. Wow! Thanks! Where'd you get this? I'm trying to collect everything Losin lists for Bird but I thought I'd never find this.
  23. Thanks. Peter Guralnick is the best in his field and so was Little Richard.
