Who knew CDs can be "Hot Stampers" too?

If I had to guess it's gotta be the rarity of the "Manhattan Records" credit on the back of Blue Train. That early digital transfer was da bomb. Right?

Theo leaving the Cubs, Jed Hoyer to take over reins. Which leaves me with one assumption: next stop has to be Cleveland, right, to end their frustration? He punched his ticket to the HoF with the Red Sox and Cub championships but if he did it in Cleveland too ... that would be ridonkulous.

$40,000 added to the price for verifying its bona fides. I guess that's the cost of doing business. And I think you re right, stem to stern except it ain't a g-damn boat anyway!

Well I see plenty of cars around this vintage that people take out on sunny weekends. That's a lot of money to keep it garaged or under a cover. What gets me is that as I get older "antique" car plates go on vehicles that were kinda pieces of shit when they were new. If you have a Pacer that runs, can you get antique plates for it now?

Well I am guessing any potential buyer gets to test drive it. Didn't they have power-assist steering by then? Are lap belts legal if that's all they had back then? I have to assume so ...

The article says 90,000. That is truly a gorgeous vehicle but it ain't worth $500,000 when you add in dealer prep and CA taxes.

I watched during the run but never thought of acquiring DVDs. I think the two episodes I liked the best were the Cops rebroadcast, and the one where Catalina is back in her hometown and Randy is trying to prove his love or something and we got "Eye of the Tiger" on an acoustic guitar. That cracked me up.

I believe there was a SuperSax album with Sweets as the featured soloist. I think I paired it up with the Joe Williams record as CDR two-fer. I enjoy them both.

Thanks. Ironically, this site https://esquirecover.club/ from this thread http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/85720-esquire-records-covers-club/#comment-1709444 Is, I am coming to believe, almost perfect for me ... from the front "door" that you scroll to open, and especially the sort of horizontal rolodex/flipping to go from one picture to another. Wonder if that's a plug-in/option with BoldGrid.

Increasing interest? Dmitry and Randy leave only three months empty for 2021.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

I don't own a single CD from the last two decades that their readers picked. I think I bought the Nora once, as a requested gift for a family member.

Thanks Matthew. There would be ongoing updates for at least a while since I plan to go live before everything is acquired.

Anyone have advice on webhosting and web page development options for someone not particularly technologically skilled ...I see so many companies offering free template this and that, most seemingly geared for e-commerce. Any suggestions welcome ... it's not going to be a super complicated site, basically a splash page to 1) photos 2) several separate text/photo pages 3) discography I need the ability to link seamlessly to youtube videos and site-hosted audio clips. Alternatively has anyone priced website development from those in the field? Up to $500 might be possible but anything above that ain't gonna happen unless I win the lottery or find out about a long-lost dead relative, and the latter has equal or perhaps worse odds than the former. Thanks!

In Paris, Feb 26 1980, Ray Bryant with guests Al Grey and Jimmy Forrest.

I received this yesterday from Amazon and listened yesterday while the board was down. This is a terrific recording of prime Dex and Tete not to mention Alex Riel and NHOP. Excellent sound too and great liners with remembrances by Riel and Bo Stief and the main section is an excerpt from a chapter about Dex from a book about the Montmartre which is really vivid and well-written. Palo Alto has competition for best archival recording of this annus horribilis - and I love the new Monk unreservedly.

Everyone at my new job works remotely yet in addition to the loan processor who ended up hospitalized (doing better, on the five day Remsdivir IV treatment), there's a Loan Officer diagnosed, and just found out last night that the boss and his wife (who is also CFO) had been diagnosed. They decided to keep it to themselves because of fear that Loan Officers would jump ship if they thought the company was headed down the tubes. The boss is doing better and didn't have terrible symptoms, just powered thru, the CFO has a persistent cough still and had worse symptoms earlier. So they should be all right but certainly disconcerting to find out ...

Panama Francis & His Savoy Sultans, Feb 11 1979 - featuring George Kelly, Norris Turney, Irv Stokes and Red Richards.

I thought I did see one in the 80s? Anyway only in the 90s do I own 5 of 10. That 70s list is all of 1.

Hey Dodger fans, Vin Scully is nominating this year's World Series movie: https://www.mlb.com/news/vin-scully-to-narrate-2020-world-series-documentary Not really a surprise as I would think it would be his so long as he's able but still ...

Win Ben Stein's Money was must-watch TV. His only regret should be inflicting Jimmy Kimmel on the country. (I liked him on the show but he's nothing short of contemptible now in his appalling political rants. Among many who drove viewers away in the wake of Jon Stewart's clown nose on/clown nose off routine. Is it too much to expect comedians to be funny?)

Thanks Lazaro I noticed that one in all of the links on that splash page you posted. What I wasn't aware of until now is the second performance with Paul Brewer, will check that out soon.

Years ago I recorded a stream of the Arno w. Organissimo concert and used it in a BFT. No one got it. Everyone should check out this blast from the past!

I found this LP years ago must have been on eBay. I think I sold it here during a financial crisis ... solid Dexter as I recall, I should pull out the transfer I made and listen again. Not sure one extra track is making me buy it again unless I realize that my copy wasn't very clean and the transfer has loads of annoying clicks.
