Probably the 3rd or 4th time I've read The Big Sleep but this is really good. Every facing page is reserved for annotations some of which are mini essays, almost all are interesting. Maybe it will even explain who killed Owen Taylor.

I got an e-mail saying my Herman set had shipped. BTW Your Dad's in for a treat.

IIRC he bought the Lionel train company.

Me too. Probably last photo I'll ever buy but I had to have it. Also Leonard's Dexter and Francis Wolfe Trane. (2 of them). One by unknown photographer of Miles and one director Paul Brickman took of Bill Evans.

I'm really enjoying this-- though there are too many "novelty" pieces on the first disc for me. It gets better and better as it goes along. The sides with Dexter Gordon are his first as a leader and I'm struck by how Lestorian he is here.

I can't believe this is still available. The two Basie discs are must-haves.

Upping this because IO'm still curious and can't find anything on Google. Could someone point out for me (a layman) examples of Oscar Moore employing flatted Fifths?

me too, but I avoid the 154 whenever possible even if it takes me a bit longer.

IIRC they often contained cuts missing from the companion single cd issues.

Wasn't Connie Kay a regular on these recordings?

What private company would send a letter to Alaska for the price of a stamp? Not everything is done to make money.

NeVer knew a "complete edition" existed.

I'm helping a friend out at a 2nd hand bookstore. People bring us books and sometimes we go hunting for them at estate sales and Friends of the Library sales. We're mainly looking for classic and recent paperbacks since we've found that our customers are reluctant to buy hard covers even when they're about the same price as paperbacks. We have come up with some interesting finds: first edition signed books by Tom Robbins, Alan Furst, Margaret Millar and Sue Grafton (she was a local girl so they're a dime a dozen though we only have a couple from before ""H" is for whatever it's for..""). But we've found a lot of great old paperback by Ross MacDonald (another local), Chandler, Hammett etc. Also things we're enthusiastic about even if our customers aren't: Pynchon, Joyce etc. (Actually we do eventually sell most of them.) But we're still looking for that elusive Ben Hur, 1860, Third Edition, the one with the duplicate line on page 116.

I remember an earlier Mike Hammer tv series starring Darren McGaven that used Harlem Nocturne as as a theme.

I'm an idiot. Charles Lloyd does a concert at a local small theater pretty well every year. I skipped one year and it was the concert at which he recorded Sangam-- a record I love.

Right.

Two old movies on TCM: Valiant and Safe in Hell. The former only interesting because it's Paul Muni's first movie and is an early talked from 1929-- which means it's really static. Safe in Hell is something else again. A pre-code William Wellman film, I recommend it highly.

I think (I don't really know) that record companies receive a payment from YouTube for any ad revenue. Most YouTube posts now seem to have ads attached at the beginning. Also not sure, but I think that if you prove ownership you have the choice to receive the money or have the post taken down.

Thanks.

What record is it on? (Though I'm sure you're right>)

I actually have that, but it was advertised as such.

Sound like good advice. Anything else you might suggest doing?
