I started a Milton-specific thread and frankly, given the expected impacts I think it deserves its own.

Might be is an understatement! Holey Moley! I had not (obviously) so that is fantastic news. And Irvin Stokes, Ed Cherry and ... Chris Anderson (!) are all not previously heard with Percy. Thank you!

Wednesday during the day. A colleague is in north Georgia and she was out a week for Helene, and mentioned how much she hated the storm hitting during the middle of the night when you can't tell anything about what is going on other than the roaring wind and rain. Helene did basically nothing to us being 25 miles or so inland, but two other colleagues live in Tampa and St Pete and close to the ocean. They are definitely going thru it twice in a row. We do have a generator, two of them. Once we get to the other side we can go a while without power as needed. I am just worried about what could happen when it hits. The track right now has the center about 20 miles (maybe) to our south. TTK is definitely at risk, hopefully he is battening down and perhaps getting the hell out of Dodge.

There is no evacuating with six horses. The hoped-for saving grace is that the worst wind will come from the west and there is a two story building in front of the wooden/metal roof where the horses will be locked down.

I'll tell you the truth: This thing is starting to scare the ever loving CRAP out of me, when I think of six horses plus two elderly family members living above the barn. I've helpfully put a little yellow mark approximately where we live.

Not to mention not a murderer, nor imprisoned.

I received my copy last night and can report one thing: Get out your strong reading glasses, or have a magnifying glass handy. It may be 220 pages but this is the smallest type I've seen since Buck Clayton's autobiography.

I do mind them and he is what we coined in college: a walking penis. Did we get the statcast "how many other parks that was a home run" in? Cause it seems like the Brewers park is something of a travesty like Houston and Philly. Their two in the 8th weren't cheapies but that struck me as one of those "a home run in two other parks" jobs.

Pretty darn close at least at that time. You could generalize to big band sidemen going off on their own / leading record dates.

So do I ... But these albums are ... not good. An artifact of a moment in time (OK I think "Drownin on Dry Land" and maybe there is a "River's Invitation" in there that aren't horrible). If you want Junior Parker with Jimmy McGriff, find this (vinyl only): https://www.discogs.com/master/1063364-Jimmy-McGriff-Junior-Parker-Jimmy-McGriff-Junior-Parker Recorded in 1972 so after these recordings but none of those tunes in sight. It reminds me of how (as I understand it), Stanley Turrentine made his records the way the labels expected during the 70s and early-mid 80s, but his live performances were little different from what he did always in his career. Had to get that off my chest ... I don't know if I will post a breakdown of these tracks,, I am having a hard time finding a way in, aside from Track 1, so far.

Soul Jazz by Bob Porter (could not summon his name that is why I wasn't specific) is definitely recommended.

Astros down three with six outs to go. GoM might get his wish - Yankee kryptonite eliminated. (I say this only hoping to jinx it.)

There is a limit to how much pimping can be done. Even if somehow pimped effectively a Yankees/Dodgers series would attract more eyeballs. Way more eyeballs.

Here's my fave, its stood up to many washings too.

Looks like a good companion to Jazz With a Beat: Small Group Swing, 1940 – 1960 by member @ListeningToPrestige (Tad Richards) as well as the Soul Jazz book. I think I am in ... definitely.

Brand new shirt received from Printify, which makes custom t-shirts so its a one of a kind.

Yes everything is encoded to the Aviary site in MP3 unless its video. I am sure they have wav or FLAC files from the outside vendor that is digitizing reels, for archival purposes.

I just came across Barney Kessel - did not know he appeared at the West End https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/135162

I told Thom my selections would wipe out the bad taste from yours but I know that is entirely in my imagination. 😁

Well I have come up with a unique twist on programming that I just know will be a big hit. So I will take January once again, please.

Strategic rooting at its finest. <green smilie here>

Sale out due to muscle spasms. I wonder how happy Mets fans would be to eliminate the Braves.

Cannot believe six in the eighth and two in the ninth to win. Now we see if Mets try to be competitive or rest everybody and throw a bullpen game. At this point the Braves don't deserve to win and be in.

I bought this for Kenny Drew years ago. Turned me away from Toots forever. Maybe there are others I'd like but not going back to that decision.

One final rooting interest before I concentrate on the elimination of the Yankees: Prevention of a Mets post-season. The odds seem long on a sweep frankly and it is surely a disadvantage for both teams (if there is a split) to have to play two games and then go on the road for a 2 out of 3 elimination series.
