Thanks for the links, Claude. That Playboy panel discussion looks interesting, though I have to say that on first blush, its hard to imagine a 100% commitment to absolute truth in that kind of public forum. But I haven't read it yet, so that's just an instinctual thing. Its certainly interesting that in the first few moments, Duke states that he doesn't think that drug addiction is an occupational hazard for the musician. Hard to agree with that when you consider how many people thought it was the junk that made Bird play like he did.

I like the way you think!

Sorry, got confused, went with the last name instead of three new ones, with the first one connected to the last quoted one. My bad, but I won't make that mistake again.

Weeb Eubank Eddie Money Johnny Cash too bad it has to be people, otherwise, I would have gone with Cash 'n Carry Me Back to Old Virginia

Well, the Sox blew one in Tampa Bay again. Then again, I'd rather be a game out of first than in sole possession of last place, and its already official that Wright is headed for the D.L.

I was just proud of my connection from Duke to a classic SNL sketch.

HEY! How come mine was a dead end?

Oh man, it just got worse for George's Nine: Not only did Wright struggle again, but he came out in the sixth with pain in his shoulder. How long can Tanyon Sturtze, last released by Tampa Bay, go as a replacement starter? And what if Brown's back locks up or he goes another ten with the clubhouse wall? Is it time for Panic in the Bronx yet?

What do you call a circle jerk with only one participant? Another episode of "Clem tees off on Francis Davis."

Teddy is only on one track, actually. But Blue and Harold Land are on the rest.

Damn. All you had to do was tell me you were looking for it. You're search might have been about, what, three years shorter?

Yes, and they're rather nice. I think another one's due out soon or has come out already.

This just demonstrates how much of an asswipe you are, and why your pathetic rants against PUBLISHED authors are located HERE, where you can spew whatever goddamn lazy illiterate pathetic crap you want to. Here's a newsflash, for ya, Clem: I have no doubt that you are regarded as a fuckin' joke by 99% of the people here.

Laughin your ass off even more today: Rangers 10 Yanks 1 in the 8th, and they've pounded out 18 hits to the Bronx "Bombers" 3? But on a positive note, Jaret Wright's ERA came down under 10 ... but somehow I don't think it kept the boo birds from givng him a few Bronx cheers ... and need I say it? I think King George might feel a tantrum coming on.

Top 50????? How about top 5?

Its definitely a nice one, with a good mix of blues and ballads. They also appear together on the 25th Anniversary Concord Jazz Fest two CD set, for three tunes I think. Nice one, that is (and you get a fine performance by the Harris Quartet, too).

I always thought that much of the criticism levelled at Rollins' bands has been levelled at Clifton Anderson and Cranshaw (for playing electric bass)? I can understand that Broom might help, but from what I've read, that still looks a lot like his typical touring band, except no Stephen Scott (pretty sure he's been the pianist lately).

You also used a hoary cliche, which is something I am currently fighting with my writer-editor brother about in my article about the Sounds demo discovery. But at least the cliche I have in mind isn't nearly as shopworn as "every cloud has a silver lining."
