Apples and oranges. CDs were known very close to the start to be "sensitive" in tracking. How long between CDs getting popular and those discwasher things started being marketed?

So they'd call the silly, poorly dressed salesman on WKRP the same way they'd describe oregano?? That I did not know.

Different processes - extraction vs burning. And anyway how can it be a pet peeve if you can extract and burn a new copy that plays if the real CD won't? That's a hell yeah moment for me.

And there are plenty of boxers in the UK. Two countries divided by a common language. Just ask 'em to pronounce "aluminum".

Check out the connection to Doggett (this is from Jet, January 1954): Fabulous Preston is identified as Preston Love, the saxophonist, in discogs but that must be just a supposition. This Fabulous Preston organist is someone else entirely. Ed Wiley Jr was in his group, no idea if its him on that 45.

This statement really may not be accurate. I was reading recently in the Times that this 28 day period wasn't chosen as a scientifically-based calculation of when second shot should be administered for maximum efficacy. It was based on a realization that shorter time in between shots would mean a quicker Phase III testing and faster time to Emergency Use Authorization. We really do not know for sure that 28 days is optimal or something else is, or that the reaction to the second shot is stronger or weaker if it is given later. It's just that the data backing up the efficacy of these two-shot regimes is based on the results from 28 days in between.

Ratched, not ratchet. (And Hobbs is the stuffed tiger).

Let me just say that as far as I am concerned, Miles in '70s jacket is Kind of Blue.

That's ludicrous. Actually there is every reason to believe that he meant "certain people are starting to (feel embarrassment over his immature behavior)"

This would be right around the time that Allen produced the concert that would be released as I Should Care.

Mom now booked for Moderna #1 thru her Medicare Mill doctor for Friday, so she won't be the last 85+ person in Florida to be vaccinated, I guess.

Woh! Two years later, give or take, The Fabulous Preston recorded his only 45 (according to discogs): Could it be Percy?

I had a brainstorm, I have the Chronological Classics photo, and now I'd like to see if my guy can set it up so that the scan loads, and then on a short delay, the original photo overlays on top. Would be cool, methinks.

Thanks Agustín looks like you found something I have not, I guess that was not in newspapers.com as I've searched that a couple of times. That is a King promo photo that appears in the Chronological Classics Bill Doggett 1952-53 so I have a nice scan of it already, I just wish the entire caption was legible. Was that from the Newspaperarchive.com site? What paper? "... spotlighted on Ralph Cooper's "Here's to Harlem" TV ..."?? Of course the likelihood that anything exists now is practically zilch given the time period, that is still amazing to see that there might have once existed performance video. I'll send you a PM about other searches.

Walk up availability is encouraging for the implied extent of vaccination but a lot of that depends on local vaccine hesitancy/rejection rates.

Didn't think hard enough about the name ... so was he just host for Count Basie, or did he run the club for him? When did his other clubs close? Probably a question Phil Schaap could answer.

Looks impossible to figure that out - there's a Clark Monroe born in 1980 who is a film maker and other things, he's all over google.

There was a trombonist by that name, and captured on Jaws in Orbit close to the same time. Chicago Defender seems to be on the same service as the Courier ... and I am not seeing how I can get access myself and can hardly ask GoM to spend a day going thru one massive search for "Percy France" (did I ever mention there is a Percy, France, which had some significance during WWII, and subsequently, when soldiers injured there have died and their obits mention the location?) Back to the subject of this thread because I have excellent news. Tried a filter option on my photo editing software and Percy's face came right out of the darkness. Way way better than I had, so I am quite pleased. Edit to say that manual adjustment of contrast and other things created an even better result than a simple filter option.

I'm looking into African-American newspapers under the time constraint of work and a free 7 day trial at newspapers.com. But they are fruitful ... This was in the New York Age, in its final year of publication after a run that started in 1887 or so. Thank you GoM, it seems like the academic archive is a single one that universities subscribe to so I think this is the end of the search unless it somehow shows up elsewhere like Google newspapers.

Thanks Jason. This link https://libraries.indiana.edu/pittsburgh-courier-proquest-historical-newspapers has this description: This database provides full page and article images with searchable full text from the Courier (1950-1954 : City ed.), New Pittsburgh courier (1969-1981 : City ed.), New Pittsburgh courier (1981-2002), Pittsburgh courier (1911-1950 : City ed.), and Pittsburgh courier (1955-1965 : City ed.). The collection includes digital reproductions of every page from every issue in PDF format. (OCLC) ******************************************* So what is the difference between "the Courier (1950-1954: City ed.) and Pittsburgh Courier, which does have that gap? Can anyone try the Courier 1950-54?

It should always be "That horse ..." because we are speaking of a particular circumstance/situation. "The horse ..." makes no sense especially since its not a situation of a singular "horse". The dog can escape his leash but only that horse can leave the barn. "I wish Mosaic would put together a Bill Barron set, but given the state of their business and the CD market in general, that horse has left the barn."

Thanks, I've also sent a message to GoM who I think should have access to the archive thru Indiana University. So he may have the easiest time of all.

Oh that sucks. Maybe you know someone else in the academic field with other modes of access? So strange that it would stop and resume like that. Thanks for your efforts.

The date was October 10 1953 and should be findable on a search for "bill doggett" or "percy france" or "Mildred Anderson". I'd love to get a snip of photo and caption. Thanks!

I found a photo on Newspapers.com from the Pittsburgh Courier, that I'd like to use for my Percy France memorial website but the photo is a pretty dark blob mostly and I am hoping other archives might have a better scan. Problem is that searches for Pittsburgh Courier archive shows that the searchable database seems restricted to students/staff/faculty of the many universities offering access. Does anyone have the necessary credentials to help me out? As usual, thanks in advance!
