Still love this one. Always will.

Um, yeah, well, good luck with all THAT. Welcome to the board. Stay low and keep moving and you might just make it.

Works for me.

That was actually the original title, but they thought it'd negatively impact sales. Some others: There Will Never Fucking Be Another Fucking You Blue Fucking Bossa I Fucking Love You Fucking A, Take The Fucking A Train Yester-fucking-days Don't Fucking Blame Me etc., etc..............

Oh yeah! One of my favorite Woody charts! I've heard Dennis Dotson and Ron Stout play the *#@% out of it! Stapleton was one the best writers for that band IMHO.

Man, I used to be able to get trashed, recover and do it again all in the same day. Them days is over! It takes me a lot longer to recover from a hangover than it used to, and that in itself is incentive to not overdo. If I do anticipate one, I try to drink a lot a water before crashing, as it is the dehydration that gives you the nasty headaches.

How about....

"Sunday"? What tune is that? "Come Sunday"? "Never On A Sunday"? If it's the latter, I'm with you! It obviously is a personal issue for each of us, Marty- I still love about half the tunes you listed. We've been down this road before, and I stand by the opinion that it's an issue of the interpretation more than the tune itself. I've heard some performances of very familiar tunes that have been unexpectedly inspiring. Sure, there are well-worn tunes I'll tend to not call at gigs, but I try to give others the benefit of the doubt when they take on one of the "warhorses". Seems like just as soon as I've given up on a tune someone will come along with a great version. For example........

I've always enjoyed his performances, going back to L.A. Law and beyond. He was great on West Wing- they will sorely miss him. LOS ANGELES (AP) — John Spencer, who played a dedicated politico on The West Wing who survived a serious illness to run for vice-president, died of a heart attack today, his publicist said. Spencer, 58, died at a Los Angeles hospital, said publicist Ron Hofmann. He would have been 59 next week. Spencer played Leo McGarry, the chief of staff to President Jeb Bartlet (Martin Sheen) through the first few seasons of the NBC series. In a sad parallel to life, his character suffered a heart attack that forced him to give up his White House job. The character recovered and was picked as a running mate for Democratic presidential contender Matt Santos, played by Jimmy Smits; the campaign has been a central theme this season for the drama. Spencer, who also starred on L.A. Law as attorney Tommy Mullaney, received an Emmy Award for his performance on The West Wing in 2002 and was nominated four other times for the drama. The actor mirrored his character in several ways: both were recovering alcoholics and both, Spencer once said, were driven. “Like Leo, I’ve always been a workaholic, too,” he told The Associated Press in a 2000 interview. “Through good times and bad, acting has been my escape, my joy, my nourishment. The drug for me, even better than alcohol, was acting.” Spencer grew up in Paterson, N.J., the son of blue-collar parents. With his enrolment at the Professional Children’s School in Manhattan, he was sharing classes with the likes of Liza Minnelli and budding violinist Pinchas Zukerman. As a teenager, Spencer landed a recurring role on The Patty Duke Show as the boyfriend of English twin Cathy. Stage and film work followed. Then his big break: playing Harrison Ford’s detective sidekick in the 1990 courtroom thriller Presumed Innocent. That role led to his hiring for the final four years of L.A. Law.

Thanks for reviving this! I purchased several of these titles today. Great deal.

Hey Phil! Happy 68th! Wish you were around a little more- I hope your absence means that another project is in the works! Sure enjoyed the last one. Hope you have a SGUD day!

I'm curious about this one. It's gotten some pretty good reviews. I've played with that band and know that Jeff Lindberg and Charles Harrison are very good at transcribing from recordings. How'd they do on this one? Transcribing Gil is a whole 'nother thing AFAIC. Does this live up to the hype? I love Clark, does he seem to be comfortable with the music?

Funny you mention him, I just bought the Superfly soundtrack, and it is absolutely killin'.

I read on another thread that if you can be patient it will probably show up at yourmusic.com for cheap.

Is that Kai's brother?

Keep on swingin' baby!

Not quite the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile, is it?

Wow, that's great Jim! That should be an excellent gig- Friday night at the Mill! Guaranteed big crowd. And another late night band after you finish. Damn, I wish I could be there. Hmmmmmmmm................
