I remember hearing about him, I think our old friend Mr. Fenohr was looking for a copy and I spotted one and fulfilled his need. This was back when I was on the trail of Argo records, but without a true commitment to everything. (Still never found the Richard Evans Home Cookin' thing, with Jack Wilson on piano. God still only knows if it was released. I know Evans told Eddie Higgins he remembers having photos taken outside of a soul food restaurant, for the cover.)

This has been proven false. CNN, being stenographers if (D) follows your name, was happy to report it though. On top of that his 100 million in 100 days is a laughable goal as we're already at more than 1 million a day right now. Must be Saviour Biden's infinitely effective Federal plan though, huh? He's going to beat that goal and everyone will cry "HOSANNA". As far as one shot vs 2, the first shot is like 80% effective. More 1st shots into more arms will get us past this sooner. Just because its SOP to vaccinate a second time 3-4 weeks later doesn't mean one shot now and make sure of getting everybody caught up eventually is bad policy or that the effectiveness is automatically compromised. I'd be happy to get a jab now and another one in the summer.

I've learned that the story Percy told was that "Honky Tonk" first took shape while he was still in the band ... he convinced Phil Schaap who credits his story as true though it directly contradicts the story told by Doggett about how it came to be. Who really knows, but Percy definitely called one of his bands "Honky Tonk Part 3" and on tour with the Oliver Jackson Trio, he sometimes gave credit to himself as a composer of the tune. It's odd if he left Doggett because he didn't think they were having the success they should have had, if Honky Tonk was percolating among the band members at the same time.

I wonder what year that was and what $500 is in today's dollars.

This seems smarter than the mad scramble here to sign up for limited slots that open and close in a relative blink. Maybe a new poll, what percentile do you expect to be in when you get the vaccine? I think I'll be lucky to be around the 50th and probably closer to the 80th, though it seems possible or even likely that we are going to see larger deliveries of vaccines even as more get vaccinated.

I'd be curious the system being used, I haven't heard of registering ahead of time. In FL different counties have different systems and Publix is also active in many though hardly all counties. There are supposedly drive-up locations in Hillsborough but our elderly aunt/uncle have not tried, partially because she is hearing of multi-hour waits and her back couldn't handle such a thing and still climb the stairs to their apartment.

I haven't seen recent numbers regarding NY vaccination rates/gross numbers but it would be a big step in the right direction if they have stopped pitching doses because no one who "qualifies" is available. And I understood that Cuomo threatened a $10,000 fine for innoculating someone who isn't currently 'eligible,' and even if we don't think that people who can afford "concierge" doctors should jump any lines, its still better to get doses in arms, IMO.

David, these answers won't cover a good chunk of the 'mericans. Here, its pretty much limited to medical personnel and 65 years and older. I don't qualify - obviously there are a few of us who are over 65 and eligible. I am actually curious what the prevailing systems are for Larry, Chuck et. al. I am presently trying to get my mother situated to get the first shot at a Publix pharmacy, I was in their scheduling system for about 90 minutes this morning starting at 6 am, and never got out of the "waiting room". Next chance Wednesday at the same time. What's ironic is that my mother is the least enthusiastic about getting a shot/not getting a shot and its me and my sister who are trying to get her situated so she'll be protected. I figure me and the wife are looking at Spring before we'll be able to get jabbed.

Sad news - All-time Great, as player and person. RIP.

Ah ... I am used to Marketplace/eBay/Discog rates and $7.50 ain't terrible for overseas.

And this is good, bad or indifferent? When you can expect to pay $4 for domestic shipping of a single CD, this seems fairly reasonable to me.

Congrats!

So Yankees are saying hello to Corey Kluber and goodbye to JA Happ apparently ... I would guess there is more upside to Kluber if he stays healthy but that's been a question mark for a while, and Happ has (I believe) been as durable as they come. Seems like more of a wash especially factoring in how lopsided the Yankee rotation will be. If Kluber excels in his last "prove I'm healthy so I can cash in" season then maybe its a net positive for them.

My username photo is of our beloved departed canine companion Coltrane, named by the Humane Society of Broward County and a major reason why we felt that it was kismet that this was the one dog my wife liked on her walk-thru of their kennel.

I'd hope for all of those things but then I read this After the collections are processed by archivists and preservationists, they will be made available for researchers at The Library for the Performing Arts in Lincoln Center. And think, highly unlikely. You have to prove your bona fides and you'll be allowed to listen and take notes or whatever.

I'm sorry to hear that your Dad isn't bouncing back. Hopefully that changes. I am seriously unsure why people think the new President will change things appreciably in any serious time frame. I read today the House expects to pass another Covid bill by end February/beginning March. Still has to go thru the Senate. Fact of the matter to me is we have a Federal system with States in charge of the process. Some inevitably will do better than others (and why would any be wasting the defrosted Vac because they won't go against the required distribution priority? Take a lesson from Israel, people. And by the way that scenario is NY where Saint Cuomo is in charge). And we should never discount the injurious effects of beauracracy in general. Enough though of politics. I agree that things will get worse as the more contagious versions spread, and IMO the differences going forward between administrations will be very much at the margins. Anyway I look forward to Friday when I am getting up extra early so that I am online at 6 am when Publix' website will go live again for setting appointments for Covid vaccinations at their pharmacies. Will it be like the last time I got my wife tickets for Def Leppard, except even nose bleed won't be available within seconds of the opening? If someone invented sniping software for Covid appointments they'd make a fortune. I'll let you guys know how I do securing an appointment for Mom.

Well yeah ... he certainly was a 1 or a 2 on a few of those Dodger teams post Koufax and Drysdale.

Sutton was a bit of a compiler at the end but still a top pitcher in several categories - and never missing your turn should count for something, too. And that yakker sure was fun to watch. RIP. Meanwhile, the Red Sox will probably suck for two more years at least, but it does warm this Yankee-hater's heart if the Jays are really getting Springer. Three strong teams in one division tends to keep total wins down, making any Yankee run to the Series that much harder.

Very cool find, I must say and yes, this is like me finding the only known recording of the Four Sounds before they were the Three Sounds. It got into the right hands.

Would be even better if it were the same sweater but not quite ... And get a load of that CD collection behind him.

Nope no Mickey Fields.

What I am more curious about is, what kind of money was Spector pulling in for his production/songwriting credits? I've never really gotten a handle on such things and been somewhat curious about it. What did he pull in annually in the 21st century? How does it compare to his peak? If you wrote a half-dozen "hits" in the 90s - what are you getting nowadays? Is the money all dried up?

Setting aside Philadelphia and St Louis for the two identified tracks (and Dallas, which Jim didn't fully identify the recording but named the star artist), the following cities are referenced among the remaining tracks: Milwaukee Birmingham (at the time of recording, could also be Milwaukee) Baltimore D.C. NYC New Haven Chicago and what I am going to call Ohio/Indiana (Ohio for location of recording, Indiana for apparent long-term involvement) And I just hope that HP and Thom (and Milestones) are able to join in ...

No dog in the fight but ... had hardbopjazz put Reddy's thread in Artists, would you have moved it out or let it stand?
