  1. Wow - thanks to all! And what a beautiful location for a night of boogie, blues and jazz. (I think some of the issues in the translation by Google came from using Adobe to convert to searchable text after I saved the PDF. They like to make i's into o's. And, Discogs tells me that Sammy Price made a record with Candy McDonald in 1980, with Doc Cheatham, backing a girl singer. Other than taking place in Italy it all makes sense. ) So is there a huge Italian radio archive just like the one in France? You guys are the best.
  2. So from Niko pointing at the Internet Archive I decided to check for "Percy France" and I found this very interesting hit. The publication is RadioTVCorriere and is from 1980. The heading says "Radiodue" which google doesn't even translate. It also says 22,15 making me think its a 10:15 pm broadcast? is the verbiage: Radiouno jazz '80 Coordinate da Adroano Mazzolett• Stagione Pubbflca do Concerto Jazz Dalla Sola Grande del Conservatoroo · Giuseppe Verdi - do Milano Concerto del Tno Sammy Price. Percy France. Candy Me Donald Presenta Piero di Pasquale Trasmlss oone reallzzata on collaborazoone con Ia Sede regoonale AAI per Ia Lom· bardia and google translate gives Radiouno jazz '80 Coordinated by Adroano Mazzolett • Public Season of Jazz Concerto From the Sola Grande of the Conservatoroo Giuseppe Verdi - from Milan Tno Sammy Price concert. Percy France. Candy Me Donald Presents Piero di Pasquale Trasmlss is realized with collaboration with the AAI registered office for Ia Lom · bardia So is this a Sammy Price w. Percy France concert originating in Milan in 1980? There is no indication I've found anywhere that Percy went to Europe before February 1982 (with the Oliver Jackson Trio). Any help is appreciated!

  3. Woh! "Percy France" hits, and not just for Home Cookin' either. Thanks, Niko, had no idea about this source.
  4. That album cover throws me on the date given for the photo but I don't think there is any reason to assume that Grant used both organists at different times in the general time frame. As for Newspapers.com I have only used the free trial period for my research and just made sure to concentrate my time during. If you're going to do general research or want the ability to search for whatever, whenever then obviously you need a membership. The one big disappointment I have had with newspapers.com is that the search engine isn't perfect in my experience. I have had many "hits" that when you open up the link it says "0 of 0" and there's no actual hit for your search term on the page. At least eventually I figured out that if you don't want yellow highlighter on your snip, you need to use their snipping tool to save what you find, rather than your PC snipping tool.
  5. The author of the Patton thesis was one of the musicians who ultimately helped verify that my "John Patton" with Percy France recording really is Big John on piano. That thesis is a great accomplishment I hope people take time to go thru it.

  7. Congrats, looks like you've done tremendous work on this.
  8. No disc drive and USB port ... so nothing exists outside of the cloud? No one has any discs for loading programs anymore? This is mind-boggling. I have a Windows 7 machine and a Windows 10 machine, both with disc drives and multiple USB ports, and one has excellent speakers which is how I listen when not in the car, and a 2014 Kia with a CD player (and a USB port which I do use on occasion). I can't imagine functioning without these.
  9. Pretty sure if you have a laptop you can play a CD still.
  10. And now, up today, from 1980 Chicago Jazz Fest: Art Ensemble of Chicago
  11. If anyone's concerned no flu/covid symptoms post second shot. In a way I wish that I had been knocked on my ass for 1/2 a day. Then I'd know that my immune system was primed and ready to rock and roll.
  12. Funny, I have to say this would be my first "box set" I ever owned though I have to say I didn't buy it (well, request it as a gift) until 1976 or later, because the enormous poster that came with it lived on the wall of my loft/bedroom but only after we had moved to CT. I don't think I spent much time with the box myself, I was happy though with the Greatest Hits package I got earlier in the 70s, and I've often suspected that my love of jazz was indicated years ago by my enjoyment of Chicago, though only really in the horn sound, not in their earliest "experimental" days as shown on that box set.
  13. Are you generally dickish? Because by not saying anything about the obvious fact that it can't be Coltrane, say by putting quotes around "signature" or "John Coltrane" you simply set it up so that you could come back with your "witty" reply. Because someone had to put 2 and 2 together and point out the obvious.
  14. Leaving in a few for my second Moderna at Publix. At the time I got thru to get an appointment, I didn't even think about the fact that it was end of month for both of them, when my current gig gets pretty bad because everyone wants their loans closed before end of month. So I really hope that once again I only have the shoulder discomfort and this doesn't trigger any sort of flu-like symptoms to keep me away from my desk. I don't want any loans pushed off to May since my bonus is dependent upon volume of loans closed/funded.

  16. The Blakey says "pre-order" while the Dexter does not. So perhaps this is a re-pressing of the Blakey that has been delayed, and since you probably didn't pay for separate shipping, shipping is delayed until both are in hand? If the Dexter never shows up I might be willing to part with mine.

  19. How about you engage with his arguments instead of calling the guy names? Whatever he's concluded about the education outcome for kids with gay parents, it has absolutely zero to do with his economic arguments outlined in his paper.
  20. Very interesting review of COVID lock-down studies that argues that costs of lockdowns are way higher than benefits and that other studies have systematically under-counted costs and over-counted benefits. http://www.sfu.ca/~allen/LockdownReport.pdf Most interesting points in my opinion are: That if costs only take into account hits to GDP they are grossly underestimated, for not taking into account losses to "civil liberty, lost social contact, lost educational opportunities, lost medical preventions and procedures, increased domestic violence, increased anxiety and mental suffering, and increased deaths of despair." And, that the assumption about the "value of a statistical life" (set to $10,000,000 for these studies) does not account for the way deaths have been concentrated among those 60+. (VSL varies from around $14 million for an infant to about $2 million for someone over 85). Thought provoking, IMO. What do you think?

  22. I am just going to enjoy while it lasts before everyone returns to what should be their rational level. We are already seeing signs of it on the Sox roster, though I have to say E-Rod's return and performance is very pleasing. Maybe if they somehow hang in to the summer they get Sale back but the guy isn't even throwing off a mound. With his surgery I can't imagine them rushing him back before end of July. And it might be miraculous if, right away, he is the Sale of old.

  24. Yeah but none of it coming back at them, which is really the point of dirty talk, isn't it?
  25. Well I didn't do the pitching, I was in the verification department - calling to verify that they were ordering the product and verifying the address. The pitches I overheard were like what you see on TV for Rid-X but it was way more expensive. As I recall they had a consent decree with several state's AGs for not marketing in those states, I think it was for both over-selling and under-delivering but also for dishonest business practices regarding auto-renewal charges. Google Krane Products. BTW on the phone sex "matching" gig a big part of the inbound calls were young kids who thought they were going to get free dirty talk. So you had to make sure they were "of age" which I always verified by asking what age they were and then what year they were born. The variety of years they would give on that challenge was pretty damn hysterical. I'd usually tell them what age they'd really be if that was the year they were born. Got quite a few obscenities hurled at me then.
