I wouldn't waste time going thru Wikipedia randomly correcting entries, but I do have an interest in getting Percy France the attention he deserves and traffic to the website. A wiki entry can help so of course I am going to want to make sure that his entry is accurate.

Well a tad bored at work so I googled Percy France and jazz and discovered that in June, someone started up a Percy France page which is stuck in "review" status. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Percy_France This is not bad overall, and with a link or two to the site so that is good. But I am going to have to correct some things in there too.

We don't do vacations ... having horses and now a dog and a cat mean that someone has to be here if the other has to go somewhere. The closest I get is taking a Friday off for a monthly drive to Naples (FL) to visit my mother in her assisted-living facility, but usually that ends up being a half-day on Friday. The closest she gets is the less regular trip to south Florida to visit her family - maybe twice a year.

The moment I read your post there was no question whatsoever that it was meant in jest/facetious, however you want to call it. How else could anyone interpret "universally acclaimed 10-part documentaries"? The post wasn't poorly worded ...

Irony is taking a beating. (And for the record It's Blakey every day of the week except for the day that I get into the 50s Mercury recordings and/or the Brown-Roach.)

He posts on Facebook to drive traffic to his site: https://www.facebook.com/gordon.skene/posts/pfbid0cNPo9NPFzTt6Fve1WAjL96UK5w6WADzTSDAZMHo7uSfBg4jTZ7fNJhY7e9kUYxTml He also has this email: gordonskene@aol.com where he invites those who want to license things he has no rights to license to go ahead and contact him. I'm sure the rates are reasonable. I posted on his FB entry above: You stole the words accompanying this post from MY website, www.percyfrance.info. You don't even have the integrity to identify that you stole Phil Schaap's words about Percy France (or that you stole the Oliver Jackson profile from AllMusic). On top of which you repeat AllMusic's typo at the end of the Oliver Jackson bio you lifted. As for the music, I'll let the lawyers address your rights, or lack thereof. Of course he can easily remove my post but he knows he is on my radar.

Thanks very much, I am thinking very carefully about how I react to this, for the following reasons. 1. I had this concert uploaded to Dime. He's invented details about the rest of it. It was a test of sorts, to gauge interest at least. 2. He has stolen from the memorial web page, extensively quoting from a transcript of Phil Schaap's biographical sketch during the Memorial broadcast on WKCR, without attribution either of Schaap or the site. Quite frankly right now I am pissed and inclined to demand a take down as he is not the rights holder. (And its remarkable that he has a page inviting people to contact him for licensing of his recordings which I will pretty much guarantee he holds no rights whatsoever for any of it.

And the Red Sox big transaction is taking on an historically bad contract for a total mediocrity named Eric Hosmer. This former Rays GM doesn't have a g-damn clue, and anyone who thought that Alex Cora is some special manager, gimme a break on that too. Oh, and don't forget, they got Tommy Pham and his .694 OPS. Playoffs, here we come! Where anything can happen and usually does!! Fuckin'

Track 15 appears at the top of the player.

Glad to know things worked out for you Larry.

There is another source: https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Down-Beat.htm This has the advantage of covering thru 1970 (only 1963 is virtually completely missing). It does get sparse at times in the seventies and eighties. Also, a good number of the Yearbooks.

Meant to post about the results with this seller after a wash or two. Shirts are very soft but definitely on the thin side. Uniqlo considerably thicker by comparison. Quality of the artwork is fine and has held up in a couple of cases to two washes to date. I was concerned initially about possible neck stretching but after washes nothing is out of whack. In all cases I have made sure to wash in cold water and inside out to protect the artwork. Drier has been straight up whatever its usually set at - high heat for however long I set the timer. So in a sense I am not being that careful with these and the results are good IMO. (Uniqlo shirts I am hanging dry to maintain the 3X size and those are clearly superior all the way around.)

You needn't be afraid of FB links, Rooster. It's a public post and FB doesn't make you sign up to see something (unlike Twitter where you can't scroll more than a couple of tweets without getting hit by a sign-in pop up). Plus the pictures are well worth it.

Well definitely deals with companies that will drop-ship. It makes me think of a higher-end production effort, like Zazzle. I'd say it could be Zazzle except for the fact that I once tried to get a photo of a six year old wearing a Red Sox shirt and giving the Yankees the finger, and they refused for trademark infringement. A one-off t-shirt I wouldn't mark for sale on the Zazzle marketplace.

So this RootsMusic seller on Etsy is definitely bigger than assumed. One t-shirt arrived yesterday, shipped from NJ. And he said the other three were shipping from a different supplier, which turns out to be in Texas. And I could swear I noticed that the seller is in Hialeah FL - a reason I initially figured there would be faster than usual delivery. Not exactly an out-back-in-the-garage production model. The first one looks very nice; the other three are due in my mailbox today. I'll report after at least one has gone thru a wash.

Just realized I posted Timmons twice. This is the fourth one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/701698724/band-tees-for-men-vintage-t-shirt-design?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=lou+donaldson&ref=sr_gallery-1-4&pro=1&organic_search_click=1

Please post when you receive them. I am currently holding off on an order of the three I listed out.

I'll admit, Green Street, Somethin' Else and Midnight Blue are calling to me pretty strong. But Bresna's warning applies here too I am sure ... maybe after I see how the Etsy tees turn out. I won't be surprised if that code stays valid.

This seller has reviews back to 2018 and I've found one bad review. Virtually all are 5 star. Have you experience or knowledge of one that had "decals" fall off in one washing?

There is a seller on etsy who is using a few album covers for his t-shirts. https://www.etsy.com/shop/RootsMusicTShirts?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=908301931

We had a Russian Blue when I was a teen-young adult. Took a long time to tame him but he became an awesome cat. I knew he fully accepted everybody when I saw him walk below our Irish Setter, and arch his back to rub against him. He even eventually would stick his own nose up toward Chauncey's when he'd come in from outside and Chauncey would go to greet him.

A few months ago our feral barn cat had a litter of kittens and probably eight weeks ago my wife managed to grab babies and mama and get them to the ASPCA where all were fixed, momma came back to barn, and we were promised one kitten, which my wife has named Mikey. He is slowly getting acclimated to the two of us, no decision yet on whether he will be a house cat or go back to barn with mom and his uncle. I think we both want to keep him inside though because he is too darn cute but big question is whether he and 75 pound King will get along. I think it's cool the way his stripes are much darker along the spine and then fade as you go away. His mama is same color all the way thru.

Your post was political or became so when Sangrey posted "yep". I could have completed the circle by responding "nope" but chose not to. Now of course, Jim will pretend that "yep" wasn't agreeing with your obvious posting of her in Handmaiden garb as commentary on a recent Supreme Court ruling. Which you will pretend you weren't posting about. She's just so darn purty, that's all. Problem being in a rational world she really, really isn't.
