  1. Doesn't seem like much of a hardship to me.
  2. Or someone who had a bad case but survived.
  3. I was hoping that you were going to tell me that "Brazilliance" had been a hit.
  4. It's also streaming on Amazon Prime. I watched it and it is great, but it looks like they couldn't find very good materials for the restoration. I've never seen a tv broadcast of such a high contrast film or one with as many jump-cuts because of missing frames. And considering the ban here on politics why don't you change your signatures? Chris Albertson died a year ago.
  5. My wife has wanted to make this drink for a couple of weeks. Finally had all the ingredients: Frozen cucumber margaritas with chili sumac salt
  6. I admit it: I probably first heard Little Richard songs via Elvis-- maybe even Pat Boone. But in 1956 when I was 13, a friend got this record: and being a pedant even then, I noted that some guy named R. Penniman got writing credit on most of the songs-- all of which I loved. Seeing "The Girl Can't Help It" in Sydney Nova Scotia on New Year's Eve that year sealed the deal.
  7. What was the hit?
  8. He also never recorded until several years after Little Richard so we'll never know what he sounded like pre-Little Richard. Notice that Little Richard has taken an authorship credit on his recording. And both recordings owe a lot to Lieber & Stoller's "Charlie Brown" as well as Danny and the Junior's "At the Hop".
  9. Jerry Lee Lewis really is ( as one of his records says) The Last Man Standing.
  10. Stanley Crouch is fighting the COVID-19 virus, and has been hospitalized twice (he’s currently at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Hospital). He is receiving the best hospital care possible, and the doctor I spoke this morning said that Stanley is eating on his own, receiving less oxygen than yesterday, and seems to be rallying. If anyone can do it, he can. Sorry, I can't seem to format this. Got it off of Loren Schoenberg's FB page.
  11. According to Buchmann-Moeller's discography Feb 22, 1950. Loren Schoenberg just says 1950-51. Jesse Drakes, Kenny Drew, Aaron Bell, Jo Jones.
  12. I'm a moldy fig about Prez-- I much prefer his earlier to his later work, but just to prove me wrong there's this.
  13. BTW I recently mailed a DVD with no packaging but inside a card to a friend on a remote Island in Canada. Between the US and Canadian post offices and potentially customs I never really expected it to arrive. To my surprise it got there in a little more than a week. I'd just put a forever international stamp on it which I think costs a dollar.
  14. There's a video making the rounds in which Dr. Fauci explains why civilians shouldn't wear masks. But it was made at the time when they were trying to save masks for medical personal. He keeps saying "right now". Of course it's being used by all the Yahoos who think this is a hoax. BTW Dan, I'd be curious to see the results of another survey about how many friends have had it or died. (Maybe you did one and I missed it.).

    Bob Dylan corner

    And yet another one: There's a new two cd/Lp release coming in June.
  16. Me too. Let us know when you are. If it's before me I'll start to worry.
  17. No, but my credit card was debited.
  18. Are we (they) sure herd immunity even works with this virus? i.e. Isn't there some doubt that you can't get it twice?
  19. A mistake which I edited out. (Not sure what it is.)
  20. I just got 2 books from Amazon that arrived a day early! (Though I hear Amazon only uses USPS for the last part of the trip.)
  21. Wow. When was that? And what is it now? (I haven't been watching CNBC lately.)
  22. IIRC in the early '60s London bookmakers were giving 1000 to one odds that man wouldn't be on the moon within a decade.
  23. I just ordered it. I wonder what number I'll get.
