Listening to some recent uploads at Vandy on a road trip to Tallahassee, I realized that separated by a few months in 1979, Percy France expressed some related thoughts about ballads, singing thru your horn, and the importance of love.

Reuben Wilson appears - on piano - in the Schaap archive at Vandy. And backing Gatortail Jackson https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/162818?u=t&keywords[]=reuben There are other recordings as well

I'm not that concerned unless it's something with a lot of orphan tracks that don't exist elsewhere.

Edit to say Track 7! D'OH!

#6 is track 6 from this but it seems to be an alternate take and I can't find an issue that has alternates so I am a tad confused. As for the rest, I have no guesses on #10 and for the remainder I'll follow a lesson from Mom about not saying anything at all if you can't say anything nice.

Very saddened to hear this ... and I had no idea he had such an illustrious career with the AP. Guy was a great asset to the board and exceptionally generous as well - a couple of years ago I reached out to him because he had mentioned a rare Harry Edison CD with Curtis Peagler, and I had not had any luck even finding a copy anywhere. I hoped he would favor me with an upload of mp3 tracks and instead he simply shipped his copy to me and didn't even take payment for the mailing cost. RIP.

There's been an absolute ton of Percy France uploads the last month or so and the vast majority were not ones that the librarian had shared with me as items that were being digitized ... but Buddy Tate has appeared in the archive: https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/162657 Actually its not as if Tate was not captured at the West End - but the other recordings are with the Countsmen, sharing the front line with Wells, Cheatham, Warren.

Charles Kynard went back to his church roots and released two gospel recordings, one of which even included a couple of tunes from his Pacific Jazz recording. He figured nobody would notice, and nobody did, until I spotted it after his - son? brother? - Gary Kynard sent me a recording and I pointed it out to him.

OK I will play: Jeff Hamilton and Ray Brown

At least you didn't call her a Nazi, David. <a thousand eye roll emojis>

unproccessed and untweaked. This sounds to me like its a completely straight transfer of ANALOG tapes to digital to vinyl. Maybe I am (also) unaware of what unprocessed and untweaked means.

In this particular case, the performances were recorded on an Ampex 600, if I recall correctly, and yes, the recordings are mono. A set of tapes has been in Jim Wilke's collection for all these decades, and those two reels were physically shipped to me for mastering. (Blue Note now owns and archives these original tape reels.) As the production team and I started going through the contents of the tapes, we discovered a problem: One song was absent from the tapes I received, but a flat, existing, archival digital transfer existed for that track, and it sounded fine, so we included it -- and the album is better for it.

He in no way says its a digital master. One track was somehow missing from the reels and a digital transfer was used. What would be nice is to know what tune was sourced from a digital transfer so that others could make their own judgements. What this really does is call into question is what else was lost on the misplaced reel because its pretty rare that a single tune is all that was recorded. It sounds like Mr. Wilkie did his own mix tapes from the recordings he preserved of these broadcasts.

I don't know what I would possibly say to someone who doesn't think Bari Weiss or her media company produces work "in good faith". And anyway that would get into politics, unfortunately. The link is supposed to be a gift link so I don't know what happened. The gist is that high levels of pot usage among the current population is producing a reaction in some users in which they are in utter and total physical despair, with multiple trips to emergency rooms, endless vomiting (cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS)). For those who start to experience this, nothing cures it but quitting the weed.

This is messed up and makes me glad I never smoked. https://www.thefp.com/p/grass-sick-cannabinoid-hyperemesis-syndrome-marijuana?r=px8hr&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Looks like I messed up by not pre-ordering so it may be a while before I hear this. Wasn't going to be life-altering anyway and I am pretty confident that within six months or a year the Amazon price won't be as ridiculous.

I have absolutely no dog in this hunt but maybe the Jays having home field will keep the Dodgers at bay. If forced to choose at gunpoint I'd rather not have the Dodgers win. But I really don't GAF and might even manage not to see a single pitch the rest of the way.

Any way you slice it House Warmin' is a great record. I did in fact purchase s second copy once - the Nothin But Soul issue - at a record convention but it wasn't overpriced and as memory serves, I think it sounded better than my first copy, which was one of those black and white Argo reissues. As for why no Ammons mention it seems pretty obvious to me that he was a Prestige recording artist and this was Argo. Pretty sure that after he helped make Prestige such a successful label that Weinstock kept him as a contracted performer.

I think I am just a hair younger than the original Kiss cohort but really right there, just a few years after they hit big. HATED HATED HATED them. Might have been the target demo but had no use or interest in guys dressed up like that or why anyone would be attracted to that. "Beth", however, was a pretty song.

Paperback is fine by me. Will preorder for sure.

@Fer Urbina Thanks for checking.

Sad news I missed from last week: https://www.mlb.com/redsox/news/mike-greenwell-dies I never realized Greenwell finished his career having walked 100 times more than he struck out. That's a good hitter (.300+ lifetime average told you that too). As for the postseason, I can't recall if there has been road teams winning the first two games in both LCS ever before. Brewers and Jays have their work cut out for them.

Aggie, this reminds me of something I feel compelled to do here in Florida. My wife and I used to watch Bar Rescue and sometime after we arrived in Plant City, there was a bar just to the west of us where a shooting took place. So every time I drive past that location (even now when the building is long gone, replaced by a quick lube company) I say in my best Jon Taffer voice, "Two people were shot to death in your bar ... and you're failing!"

I can only imagine what a "Sludge" band is. I do hope people clicked on the link, I am not a sailor or particularly interested in the subject but did find the article interesting and worth ten minutes. As for Lightfoot parodies, there is only this:
