Just got this and it's among his best, for sure. Only two originals, rest are covers, but the focus is very much on his guitar and vocals, with only a second guitarist + rhythm. I've heard some Delmarks with horns but this keeps it nice and clean and all Byther Smith. I wonder if there's a CD of originals, with this type of backing. That would be awesome but this is simply very very very good.

Hmm ... too bad I don't engage in any TV commentary in the mornings, just see a little bit of local news post-coffee & Internet and before the horses get moved so Sue can work on stalls.

I think this Sox fan (the other color) has to enjoy this start while he can. Second best record in the league, second best run differential. There are elements of the roster to watch - Dalbec has a sweet stroke and serious power, Tanner Houk looks for real though he isn't even up with the team yet, there's a Japanese middle-reliever who has an electric fastball, JD Martinez seems to be back, and of course there is Ottavino and a Yankee minor league starter, stolen thru the Rule V draft, who looks good so far ... but its a marathon not a sprint and the real talent will prove itself in this division.

Did you think that was the right call at first base. None of the angles were very good and it looked to me that the 1B's foot/leg didn't stop moving - indicating contact with the base - before the runners hand arrived. I think the upholding of the call might have been based mostly on getting the out call in real time. Not enough video evidence to overturn, but if the call was safe, they would have upheld that too.

Well I don't really care about your linguistic point, correct or not, but when I read it I immediately thought of those lyrics as an example so I had to point them out, which you denied, to which I felt compelled to respond. Anyway, "my job is too dutiful" and I must return to it.

Years ago MG told me about a rare-as-hen's-teeth LP, Perri Lee with ... Clifford Scott? or Curtis Amy? Never have found it, haven't looked in ages; I do have the Night at count Basie's LP with Eddie Chamblee.

"most" is a pretty good weasel word too.

What recording was it, Bertrand? He can be right, and he can be wrong. Transition didn't have great distribution, right? But finding an original Transition release maybe really hard but it doesn't mean those Donald Byrd records are bad. OTOH I used a recording by Jimmy Colvin on my last BFT, the whole record is awesome, IMHO, and probably about as rare as hen's teeth. So its one of those "rare" records that didn't deserve it's fate in the marketplace? In the end its about expectations, and in many cases, "crazy collector" syndrome, too.

I felt very fortunate when I stumbled across this issue of that LP with another: https://www.discogs.com/Bobby-Timmons-The-Soul-Man-Soul-Food/release/9180956 Although, I think I once had a copy of the original vinyl, or something close to original? I know I was happy to get the two-on-one CD, and at a normal used CD price. This was pre-internet (for me).

But how often has this ever occurred? I've hardly ever had a redbook CD not played, and when it fails its not extractable either. I think that was 1-2 times ever, if that. Only slightly more common is the case of a CDR that won't play, but will extract and can be re-burned.

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.
