Which is the one I posted the link to in the initial post of the thread.

Who really gives a shit about the forward? Has anyone ever purchased a book based on someone writing the forward? Thanks for the heads up, Tom. I'm glad this really is coming out and it will leap to the top of my book list when it does.

since I upped this thread, Rooster continues to ignore it. I figured that making a flippant comment that he's upping so many other threads, here's another would draw him out, but I can only conclude that he is both shameless and hopeless. Hopeless because I don't believe he will ever post answers. Shameless because, all things considered, I don't know who else would screw things up so royally, post a lame "explanation," ("I still haven't sent out all the discs", as if anyone who hasn't received his BFT really cares anymore, and to hell with the people who DID receive it and bother to post their guesses, they can wait some more) STILL never fulfill his obligation, and yet has no problem being an active member of the board. Personally, if I were in his position, I wouldn't show my face until I'd fulfilled my obligations. I'd be too embarassed to. But that's just me.

I wouldn't say the useful information has been 'replaced'. In my brain, the useless and the useful peacefully coexist, side by side. ← Then I would strongly encourage you to leave your body (or specifically, your brain) to science as this makes you very, very special and unique.

I'm virtually certain that concert is what is on that Italian LP I linked above. While AMG does not list the Stitt-Bags LP, under Stitt's name is Back To My Own Home on Black & Blue, and the write up mentions that So unless this was a studio recording before/after that concert, I'm sure this is the show that is on the LP.

Two soundcards?? I don't think I have that ← Then you need to be able to take audio out of your DVD and into your PCs line in. Then you can use an audio software like goldwave to record that input as a wav file, save, split into tracks and burn a CD. You'll need the right adapters to go from male RCA plugs down to a 1/8th STEREO mini. Radio Shack usually has the right stuff.

Thanks, Jack and Marcello. I kinda figured they must have recorded together at some point. But this LP I got looks like a good 'un, and you can't beat a winning bid of $2.99!

Number one, you're going to need to have two soundcards in your PC. I use Goldwave (which costs about $30US) to transfer DVD audio to CD. The newest version of Goldwave (I've had it for at least a year though) allows you to choose several inputs, line in, microphone, aux, stereo ... I started playing the DVD and just started clicking and I found that Goldwave's input was monitoring stereo aux or something like that. I recorded the whole DVD concert as a single Wav file, split them up into tracks and burned the CD Disc-at-once, and viola, I had my audio CD. Hope that helps.

Actually, I know the answer to this one, cuz I just won the sucker: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...01788%26fvi%3D1 But I'm curious whether they ever did a date together otherwise. Looking through AMG nothing stuck out, and it occured to me its kind of surprising two guys who recorded so much and so continuously, original beboppers, and all ... so I wonder if there's anything I've missed and that they did in fact recorded elsewhere together.

Is this going on in the Politics forum? (I don't "see" that forum) I hadn't even known Clementine had been back. So I can't say if Clem has gone beyond the bounds here or not, but it sure as heck would be no skin off my nose, or any great loss to this community, if he went the way of Aric and Greg.

Brad, Yes, I was referring to Cameron, with a bit of hyperbole (obviously any major league player can carry the jock of a five year old) but not too much: You don't replace one of the greatest righthanded run producers in the history of the game with a guy who hits .249 and strikes out 140 times a year. To move Manny, the Sox have to get not only *major* established talent back but also *major* prospects, and that means Milledge. As for the Pedro trade, the Sox sent Pavano and a player to be named, who ended up being Tony Armas, Jr., who made the major leagues to stay in 2000 and whose considerable potential was interrupted by a shoulder injury. If healthy, Armas is a very solid major league pitcher. NOT junk.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2229919 Interesting report that the Red Sox and Rangers are in discussions with the Marlins about trading for Josh Beckett. The Marlins are insisting on taking Mike Lowell off their hands, and that frankly doesn't bother me. Sure, he had an awful year, but he's only 31, and has been a consistent bat for many years before. For a dead-pull, fly-ball hitter, the Monster makes for an inviting target, and for a power-RBI guy, his strikeout numbers are pretty good. Between Youklis and Lowell, I think the Sox could cover their third base and first base needs just fine. Beckett? You have to wonder about his outbursts on the mound, but he's got a couple things going better than Burnett or Pavano: He's 8 games over .500 on his career. Oh, and he pitched a complete game shutout to beat the Yanks in the World Series. The Marlins want super-prospect Hanley Ramirez and one of the pitching prospects, John Lester or Anabel Sanchez. Lester is too good to give up in this deal though, and Ramirez may have to be considered as their fallback position if Renteria doesn't return to his all-star level. hmmm..... OOPS: Now according to the Palm Beach Post, the Rangers are close to trading Blalock and a pitcher for Lowell and Beckett. Not sure I'd give up Blalock - that's a downgrade to go to Lowell.

He stunk up the place, went on the DL, kept being reported as "close" and then ended up shutting it down with "shoulder tendinitis". Pavano's "old self" was essentially the same as Burnett, except I think Pavano's lifetime mark was a game over .500, and Burnett's lifetime mark is a game under. The only appreciable difference in their careers is that Pavano managed to go 18-8 in his walk year, while Burnett lost his last six decisions on his way out of Florida.

Re-read the points, Dave. I doubt there's anyone to take Pavano, not without the Yanks picking up 9 of 10 million. And Ryan might bring back the halycon days, but he's NOT interested in being anyone's set-up man. I'd say its more likely the Sox give up on Foulke and sign Ryan, but anyway you slice it, if the reports are accurate, Ryan will not be in pinstripes. Heck, he came to New York this week and spent two days at Shea. No trips to the Stadium though.

Interesting tidbits on the Yankees page of that MLB rumor site: Pavano wants out of New York But after his failed season, who would take that bloated contract off their hands, even with this thin crop of free agent pitchers? BJ Ryan really isn't interested in setting up for Rivera Apparently just a negotiating tactic when he said he'd be interested. Giles is their main target for centerfield, and Lupica thinks that's ridiculous And who can blame him, since Giles has played somethnig like 35 games in centerfield in the last four years? He's a great table-setter, still some pop in his bat, but is he an upgrade over Bernie, when he's 35 years old and they're thinking of tossing 33 mil for three years?? That's setting yourself up for Bernie redux.

Nice tribute from Joey. Thanks for posting, SS1.

What label is this CD on? Courtesy of a certain board member, I just got me two CDs worth of primo Lockjaw at Kimball's in the early 80s, accompanied by Buddy Montgomery. Can't wait to spin that this weekend.

I know the Kent sides are considered the masterpieces, but what do people think about B.B.'s Bluesway albums? I recently picked up Blues on Top of Blues and Blues is King and quite enjoy both. Now I'm wondering about Confessin' The Blues which seems to have quite a few older tunes I don't think B.B. recorded before or since: Confessin' The Blues, Drink Muddy Water, Goin to Chicago Blues, Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town, Cherry Red. Anyone familiar with this one?

First of all, I don't have the Play the Right Thing CD. If you do, I'd be happy to read the notes if you can scan and upload them. As to your assertions about the contractual rights of Blue Note recording artists, I'd like to see something a bit more definitive before I believe your statements. Here's why: Before the BNBB bit the dust, Tom Evered told us of how happy he was to find and deliver to Jutta Hipp a very sizeable royalty check. Why would EMI provide a royalty accounting to a virtually forgotten musician if they had no contractual requirement?

Well, its a shocking deal, certainly, because Cameron was considered to be worth a heckuva lot more than what San Diego is apparently giving. Wasn't he supposed to end up as part of a package for Manny? I have to guess that Cameron's stock has gone way down since that collission. I'm also not at all certain he's quite the superstar Johnny makes him out to be. Yes, he's won a couple of gold gloves. But its a stretch to say that he's an automatic 25-30 homer guy. In the seven seasons he's played at least 140 games, he's hit 25 homers twice, 30 once. The other years were 8, 18, 19 and 21. He's also a .249 lifetime BA and he strikes out a ton. Frankly, I'll be glad if this trade goes through cuz that means he won't end up in Fenway, where he couldn't carry Manny's son's jock. ← The rumors in NY are that the Cameron/Nady deal was made by the mets for two reasons: 1)payroll flexibility(Cameron makes around 6-7 mil this year, Nady 500m) 2) Part one of a Manny deal. Dan, you may get Nady on the Bosox. ← If Nady gets moved again, it will be to Tampa Bay for Huff and/or Baez. They might be flipped to Boston for Manny. There's no indication that the Sox have any interest whatsoever in Nady, unless he was a minor throw-in with far bigger names doing the heavy lifting to get Ramirez. And even then I don't see it happening. The only way the Mets get Manny is to give up their stud outfield prospect, Milledge. Not some mediocre draft pick who showed modest talent in his first year in the bigs.
