I figure he's either bored with the ether or also a member of AAJ and therefore visits "either board"

Maybe he ain't natural. Actually, there's no basis for your assumption of how long a champion might last without the previous system of artificial 'term limits', because he was one of the first champions after the rules change. There were some five day champions who kicked ass-who knows how long they might have lasted. If no one ever again goes beyond the two or three weeks you are postulating as the "natural" limit, then I might consider your hypothesis. But remember, outliers are data, too. They just happen to be off the charts. And another thing to consider: The quiz show scandal almost destroyed game shows. Why would a producer risk it all for something like this?

And to Take the Money and Run: "I have a gub" Playing cello in the marching band! Or the interviews with the parents who are so ashamed, they're wearing Groucho glasses.

Nobody's mentioned "Take The Money and Run" or "Bananas"?

And here comes Soul Symphony (BST-84341) Liberty Pressing - no year listed Side 1 Soul Symphony (M. Higgins) 26:05 Side 2 Repeat After Me (M. Higgins) 6:45 Upper Four Hundred (D. Ervin - M. Higgins) 4:03 Popsicle Pimp (D. Ervin - M. Higgins) 2:53 Black Sugar (D. Ervin - M. Higgins) 4:15

For all boys of a certain age, this will always be our favorite poster:

And that was really worth it? I seem to recall reading that record dealers will buy a record for something like 20% of what they plan to sell it for. I know a dealer down here who found a man living in a vermin infested trailer with boxes and boxes and boxes, hundreds if not thousands of mint or unopened original jazz lps from the 50s-60s. He offered the man a thousand dollars for records he anticipated would sell for perhaps $100,000.00.

I went with J.J. but would have preferred Bennie Green if he had been listed.

You know, reading about the extent of his collection, the fact that my personal Holy Grail, Richard Evans' Home Cookin' (Argo) doesn't appear in that list really makes me wonder whether the dang album even exists!

I had, and ultimately disposed of, his 95th birthday party disc: It was nice and all, but at some point in a previous sweep for deadwood, I decided to trade it in. Of course, being a saxophonist, you'd probably pick up on a whole lot more than I did ... too bad I can't just send it to you so you'd know.

Gary Alderman is still active.

At this point I would propose that, unless at least a few more signups come in by week's end, this idea should be put out of its misery.

Have you read his books?

I'd have to go with Wycliffe Gordon.

If nobody else comes through, I'll post Soul Symphony info later today.

Except that in the south its pronounced "bidness".

I have all three LPs-the LD, the Yusef, and the Land-Hutch. On the Yusef, I have the Cadet reissue of this material, and the sound is pretty poor (not the vinyl, the Cadet reissue). I think they rengineered for stereo, or something. But pretty weak sound. PM me with your address and let me know if you'd like the other half of the Lou Donaldson as well.

Come on. All the guys I listed are making loads of money and they deserve a little if not a lot of heckling. Matt BULLSHIT. Kevin Mahogany is a fine, fine singer. You may question some of the material he's chosen to sing lately (though personally I enjoyed the vast majority of his Motown album) but he's still a damn good jazz singer. I am seriously disappointed and amazed at some of your recent statements, like Hutcherson being a terrible vibist, and now this BULLSHIT.

Yes, I got this, but the November issue never came... A lapse in renewal on my part, I guess? David, I can send you the tearsheets, so long as your email can handle it. Quite a few big pdf files.

Sausage and 'shrooms for me!

Myself, I really like the crispy layer on top when its oven cooked.

So what does everyone have in store for Thanksgiving? Lucky me, I'll be leaving the office at lunch time today, not to be seen til Monday morning. Thanksgiving for me, at least since I met my wife, has been Lenczycki style: Fried bird Excellent stuffing Mixed bag of veggies (good potatoes and green bean casserole almost overcoming overcooked broccoli and nasty stuff like turnips) NO pumpkin pie (they're all allergic) Its all made with love, but I'm starting to really miss Mom's Thanksgiving. So does anyone actually go to a mall this weekend? We've always avoided those nightmares, and I can't imagine anyone wanting to waste the day that way ... but that's just me. Happy Turkey Day everyone! And if you have to drive somewhere, crank up the jazz and drive safe!

I wonder where this clown seller got the $19.16 from.. Maybe that's what he paid originally, and he figures he's entitled to a clean $2,000.00 profit?
