I should note the ones with just an audio player can't be downloaded but the ones with a link (the name of the artist/concert) are direct mp3 links that can be saved. I think I snatched about 20 or so, and there were another six I need to stream to record, including a Ben Webster/Kenny Drew recording from 1965 that I don't recognize. Edit to add: I am going to go out on a limb and say this has not seen commercial release or if it has I don't know about it. Not ringing any bells and sparkling Kenny Drew and still vibrant Ben: https://pastdaily.com/2020/08/23/ben-webster-quartet-live-in-copenhagen-1965-past-daily-downbeat/

Has anyone heard of this site? Seems to be a veritable ton of audio from radio archives (most or all from some cat named Gordon Skene(?)) and while I can't tell what is super rare, what trades among collectors or on Dime, the collection seems mind-blowing. Here's a link to one search, you should check it out. Especially since all posts have direct links to the MP3 files so you can just right click and save if you wish, or use the player. https://pastdaily.com/?s=jazz

I realize tomorrow is an American holiday but I saw a tweet by a guy who calls himself Ken Tremendous - I am almost certain he is one of the guys who used to rip Joe Morgan as a baseball commentator - anyway his attitude toward Thanksgiving is ... something. Something so outside of my reality I can't begin to grasp it. Read the whole thread then take the poll!

And I'm sure he'd like to win again with Tito at the helm ... and I did see news that Francona is doing much better from the medical problems that took him out of the dugout this summer, so that is good to hear. He deserved much better from his players and ownership the way it ended in Boston.

I don't think that last bit is scuttlebutt, I think Theo has said directly that he's interested in an ownership stake. the rest of it is just silly guessing. And the Yankees should be about 100-1 they aren't hiring Theo to make baseball decisions. So what are the odds current ownership puts their team on the market, for the Rangers or Indians?

The woman is hosting the event. There's no option to bribe her not to be involved. Mom worries less about the virus than we think is proper so its unlikely she would agree to a different aide. I am however going to suggest to my sister that we consider having her limit her time in the house and mostly take care of her shopping needs for the two weeks. Daily testing is not realistic by any stretch of the imagination, from what I know about getting tested.

Mom is very particular about who comes on a daily basis. There was a Covid scare with this woman - she quarantined at home for a period of time but in the end no one had it. But I do get your concern, she's someone from "outside" coming in 5 days a week. So I will discuss with my sister. We're certainly insisting on a prolonged period of mask wearing after Thanksgiving.

Worrisome ... as I am concerned that my Mom's home aide is having 18 family members (about 13 don't live with them) over for Thanksgiving. I've told her she has to make sure Olga wears a mask for at least 2 weeks when she comes back to work next Monday. this may be a good chance to find out if a mask really protects other people and not the wearer. I'm just annoyed they would do such a gathering at all.

I just realized SS1's last post was this ... anyone in contact with Jeff?

I'll take that under advisement ... I might actually have the Coleman, but not certain.

I say I only have this one, and bought it because a certain drummer named Randy Marsh was on it.

I don't think I can handle Flea being this knowledgeable or sophisticated when he's also the guy who performed naked or wearing a sock on his schlong and nothing else.

Never saw that one ... does it say on the inside, "I was the daughter of a screwed up mega-star, and I married a screwed up mega-star."?

Well done sir. Thank you.

I just scrolled thru ebay listings, nothing like that seen ...

Can anyone verify that Clifford Scott was called/promoted as "Mr Honky Tonk"? I know there is a late record called Mr. Honky Tonk is Back in Town but I wanted to verify if that's a true nickname, post the 3 million seller recording? As always thanks in advance.

Makes me wonder if Gene Harris got the memo and had the leverage or not ...

So I guess the money that Herbie plunked down just to show the salesman he could buy such a car, it must have come from Mongo's cover of Watermelon Man? I see that recording was also in 1963. I can't imagine the money came from Alfred ... but maybe?

I never listened for it and have never heard it. This from someone so attuned to used LP transfers I hear clicks that no one would pay attention to ...

I totally disagree about consistency ... too many great bits to count thru the whole film - debating the merits of the Roman occupation, "he's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" ... the different names of the resistance groups - it's all great. to top if it off, Holy Grail gets stupid with the ending, whereas Brian is one of the great endings of all time. Not to mention "I'm Brian of Nazareth, and so's my wife!"

Was the list free-form suggestions or pick from a larger group pre-selected by the editors? I don't think anyone should be surprised about such a list and I actually disagree that the gift of a 40 year time span should automatically make a material difference, not in the eyes of a group of readers of a publication about a niche genre. Now, if you had a critic of some repute to look back and pick "most influential" or something maybe he comes up with a different and/or more interesting list. But in the "wisdom of the crowd", you get exactly these types of results.

I thought maybe post-election and pre-December maybe the PO would pick up its game but it doesn't look that way. Four days to get out of Jersey City, the armpit of the Superfund State in the Union. I guess I should be glad it was a box stuck there, and not me. But I better disinfect the crap out of it when it finally shows up.

Cano suspended entire season: https://www.mlb.com/news/robinson-cano-suspended-for-full-season Pathetic - and two more years to go at $24 mil per.
