  1. Just take care of the Yanks next week, OK? The Sox really did a number on the Mets. They're still in a fog obviously. What other explanation could there be for Yankee relievers to shut them out allowing only one hit over the last five innings for a 2-0 victory? I did enjoy watching Dontrelle handcuff the Sox last night. Gotta give the Marlins a lot of credit. They decimate their team after each of their two World Series championships and they always come back with good young talent and a great competitive spirit. Well, its obvious that they got good young talent after this decimation, but last time they decimated the team, they lost what, 115 games? I wasn't at all surprised at the loss last night, with Dontrelle on the mound, Papi on the bench, and that awful Cleveland pitcher getting the start.

  3. Well there is a dedicated youtube thread ... Too bad the person didn't put up the whole video; its a cool one with Barney Kessel and KB. Gambit, one of those Lonehill type labels, has put this tune onto a Barney Kessel release, Live in Los Angeles that is quite nice for guitar fanatics.
  4. Thanks for the explanation, Andy. It took me a little while (I couldn't open with Quicktime directly, but when I tried to open the file, I used the list to choose Quicktime, and that worked) but well worth it! Seeing that makes me very curious to know if any video remains of Andrew Hill's appearance on that program. I have a reel-to-reel tape transfer that was marked: Andrew Hill Quintet “Live on Soul” WNET TV 2/11/71 Andrew Hill, piano, Woody Shaw, trumpet Carlos Garnett, tenor sax Victor Sproles, bass Roy Haynes, drums They played Grass Roots/Bayou Red.
  5. Why don't you THINK just a little bit for once? This is a board set up by a group of WORKING musicians who are trying to make something happen for themselves in a very tough industry/environment. Do you think they need to have people openly violating copyright laws on their site? I know what the problem here is: THINKING and WORKING are two activities that are completely alien to you.
  6. I don't understand why Couw feels the need to defend this guy. He cheated another board member. To me, that calls for virtual banishment in itself, not to mention all the other offensive tactics. I'd be livid if I got cheated by a board member; and would remind others of this fact. Trust is everything on this board, and I buy and sell a lot of stuff here. Well, to be honest, it gets a little annoying. Guy What gets annoying? The cheating? Or the constant puerile chatter from this man? No, what bothers Guy is the perpetual calling him out on the cheating and puerile chatter.
  7. Yes. I thought my post made it clear we have tickets for Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. We'll see Wakefield and the super rookie, Jon Lester. Unfortunately that Indians reject goes for us tonite against D-Train, so I am almost expecting the winning streak to come to an end.
  8. Guilty as charged, Jury recommends one year in stir and $1,000 in fines for each of the 4 counts of public indecency. Bummer to be a judge in prison. I bet he hopes he doesn't encounter anyone he sentenced to time while there. If he's put in any facility tougher than medium security, prison's have policies in place for cops to keep them out of general population. I'm sure they'd automatically do the same thing with the judge.
  9. good one! Yeah, but I should have said, "One way or another, he'll be getting off."
  10. And speaking of sweeps, can anyone believe the hot one the Red Sox are on?! Don't want to jinx them, but if they can win in Miami tonite, the wife and I will watch them go for #14 and maybe #15 Saturday and Sunday at Pro Player. That would tie the club record.
  11. We don't explicitly solicit burns on this board, so do Jim a favor and delete this.
  12. As it has been for so many others, I initially built my collection by further investigation of what I had (Miles, Armstrong, Coltrane) on a couple of samplers plus trying the music of the sidemen that I liked. Then it exploded from there. I think Skid has it right ... you should let your ears tell you what you want to explore next. I do think you owe it to yourself to at least sample the truly legendary musicians (if you feel that there are any you've missed).
  13. Not sure if I'll snap this up next (I have some of those Phillips dates with Leo Wright) but what's cool to me is the fact that it has "new" Hank. Well, new to me.
  14. Didn't Hank gig there when he was in Europe in '68?
  15. I remember when the complaint was filed. Nice to see it go to trial ... hopefully he doesn't get off.
  16. How about more info/a link? search Popsike.com for more thorough description. Sorry, you haven't given me nearly enough reason to do so. "interesting" "supposed to be rare" " nice music" <yawn>
  17. Now that's the first legitimately funny line in this entire thread. As far as having a private plane goes, no one should be surprised when you consider the size of his audience and how long he has been on the air. In fact, I am virtually certain he owns the show, and that means he gets to sell a portion of the advertising. He makes an enormous amount of money.

  19. And Fogerty, of course... It's common knowledge that Fogarty has retroactively changed the spelling of his name in order to invalidate his previous contacts. Well, the knowledge might not be so common as you suggest - there's nothing about it in wikipedia or on AMG (for what that's worth...), or even on Fogerty's website. I think that's because Jim was taking his clumsy fingers and making a joke, and that is not the approach that Fogerty took in his lengthy court battles.
  20. I've seen so many of these bitch-fest threads and I just have to say ... I've never had a problem tearing these things off: Find the side with "pull here". Pull across the length of the jewel box. 9.5 times out of 10, it lifts all the way off. Now turn the jewel box and get a handle on the part that is over the spine (it should lift off easily). Pull along the length of the jewel box and the rest of the label comes off. At least 99% of the time, no problem. And I have never even given a second thought to any left over gunk. Did I mention that I no longer keep jewel boxes but have switched to a three-ring binder CD storage system?
  21. I'm pretty sure that the expression 'you don't miss your water.....' was used in the blues long before William Bell's wonderful recording. I was going to say that I am almost certain that B.B. King used the line in one of his '50s Crown recordings.
  22. That's what I always thought about Concord. There were plenty of African American artists around in Concord's early days - you have only to look at the records that Muse issued - some of which were pretty funky, I'll agree - to find a load of them making all kinds of music. Sure, there were people like Kenny Burrell, Plas Johnson, Red Holloway who made albums for the Concord. And sure there were a bunch of Afro-Cuban musicians like Mongo Santamaria on Concord Picante. But the feeling I had was that Concord saw its business as making records for middle class white customers. That, naturally, affected the artists it signed up. And, equally naturally, it affected sales to me. MG I am troubled by the implicit charge of racism, either on the part of Carl Jefferson, or on the part of the people who purchased Concord records. I don't think anyone should doubt Carl Jefferson's love of the art form and its players, and the fact that he gave record dates to Holloway, Plas, Ray Brown, Art Blakey, etc., at a time when Jackie McLean was recording Monuments, ought to be applauded. Perhaps the perception of a "lily white" roster in the under-40 age group was a function of the prominence of Scott Hamilton and Warren Vache, but you might also want to consider that they are two guys who played the music Carl wanted to record and put out. Its also a fact that James Williams recorded three times for Concord at the start of his career, and Jefferson also gave the Clayton brothers their first recording opportunity. And from 1992-1995, Rickey Woodard recorded three times for the label. But all of those recordings fit into the Concord approach of mainstream-to-bop.
  23. Soon as you join the work force, Aric, you'll learn the difference.
  24. The Sports Guy's youtube favorites. Highlights: Bill Shatner Delivers "Rocket Man" as a soliloquy. (has to be seen to be believed!)
