Happy Birthday, Lon! My first Internet Jazz Pal, and still one of the best!

This really is nice news, especially since they aren't just doing OOP CDs, that Anita O'Day and the Three SOUNDS was only issued as part of the Mosaic set, I think one or two tunes came out on a comp., but the full album has never been reissued on CD.

Everyone who's posted to date has been received, plus White Lightning.

She was a criminal, Brownie. I don't know about the laws in France, but is it generally considered OK for adult teachers to have sex with 12 year olds? Now that she's served her time, and he's an adult, yes, by all means, if they want to get together, get married, whatever, more power to them. But there's something deeply warped about an adult woman falling in "love" with a twelve year old.

I've received from everyone who's posted so far except Marcus. Not sure if your email server is just slow or something, but maybe you should send again, my friend?

Since I harp on other people for not hewing to the schedule, I guess I better get my thread started. The details: 1) Since the PM and Email function of the board is iffy at best, please email me direct: dangould@hotmail.com 2) Its a two-disc BFT, with Theme. I know, pretty ironic after I was one who suggested setting limits. However, what started out as a single disc with theme plus bonus disc quickly became a double disc test. What can I say? I had a lot to share; and for those of you who haven't done this yet, I can only say, if you have any anal-retentive or compulsive tendencies, you really shouldn't do a BFT, it only exacerbates those tendencies. So I strongly suggest that you resign your position, that way I can sign up again and do this yet a third time sometime before John Kerry's second term. 3) I've got 25 sets ready to go when the time comes, but, unless signups decline in the dog days of August, I would appreciate European assistance. ************************************ OK, here's the list: MartyJazz Catesta Brad Lewin Tom Storer dutchmanx RDK (says he can't sit any more out, he loves these too darn much!

Latest Update (August 16): Adam is in just under the gun. However, that exhausts my capacity to handle more signups myself. CDs shipped to both Europe and the States on Friday, so if there are any further last minute signups, hopefully they can be taken care of by a relatively close-by prior recipient. Thanks for your understanding and to everyone who's signed up.

Marcus, Overall I liked it alot, thanks for the compilation. #1-electric piano kinda dates it to the 70s, so I'm gonna say Hubbard CTI session. #2-took me a while to realize what familiar melody that was. Sounds like Eric Alexander to me, and since the piano doesn't sound like Mabern, I'm going to guess Hazeltine. Is this one of those Japanese Venus releases? #3-OK; no guesses. #4-like a lot but no guesses. #5-ditto. #6-I'm gonna go with Bags. #7-no guesses and not my favorite of the bunch. #8-no guesses #9-the Ellington tune, liked a great deal .... #13-one of those annoying tunes cause I know it and think I have it ... but since I had no guess, how could I figure it out? #15-the vocalist was just OK in my opinion. Thanks again, Marcus!

What do you think?

We're talking medical injections here, not piercings or tattoos.

shrdlu wants to make sure he can keep his dentist after the "rapture".

whatever works for ya.

Jesus, Chuck, now you gotta tell other people what they can and cannot talk about on a bulletin board? Do you do this in bars, too? Walk up to people arguing over something, tell 'em the discussion is out of line and to shut the hell up? Enjoy your vacation, and while you're driving around, think for a few minutes about the purpose of an internet bulletin board.

If I like the musicians, the era, or the recording label, I'm perfectly happy to risk it, so long as the price isn't ridiculous. I've never known anyone to make such an effort to find and rely on reviews.

I got this through Cadence several years ago, and wholeheartedly recommend it. I'm pretty sure they still list it as available.

Some people reallly dig him. I don't. Medical condition made him abnormally small and with a high pitched voice. Takes some getting used to; I never did. Search the web for sound clips and you'll know what I mean.

No way he goes on waivers and the Yanks get a chance to claim him. Waiver wire goes to teams in reverse order of standings, and to the same league first. In other words, the Yanks get absolutely the last chance at him. If he were put on waivers, without a doubt, the Red Sox put in a claim, if another team doesn't themselves, even on the chance that Arizona doesn't pull him back and they're "stuck" with his salary. No way the Yankees ever get a chance at him. Plus, even if he went in full pout mode, after all this, and a total lack of interest in what the Yanks might offer, Arizona just puts him on waivers and gets nothing for him at all? Whatchoo been smokin', son? Arizona will make Johnson available in the off-season, where, after free agency shuffles things around, there will be more teams who think they have a chance, and will especially think they have a chance if they can have Randy Johnson for a full season. And that means better offers to Arizona.

Shawn, pardon my ignorance but what are DSP functions? I have to say, the newest goldwave does many cool things, and very quickly (part of that, I'm sure, is the upgrade we just got in processing power). Much better than the version I started with.

to my recollection, the wettest rainy season since I moved to south Florida, and we haven't even seen a tropical storm or hurricane yet.

Good move, Jim. And great picture for your avatar! She grows cuter every day.

How can you tell?

This hardly helps when considering a vinyl purchase of a never reissued, and probably never to be reissued recording.

Too bad for Bud. Surely its the Festival's loss ...

Aren't we about ready to start the discussion thread?

Wow. I really chuckled when I saw that deal on the hotel TV somewhere in the Pacific NW where I'm vacationing. I thought it was a terrible deal for the Bosox, this Yankee fan having a very healthy respect for Nomar. I guess the seeds were planted during this past off season when Nomar realized that he was a valuable pawn in the unsuccessful attempt to land the infamous A-Rod. Big mistake by the precocious Theo, IMO. As for the Yanks getting Loaiza for Contreras, you're right Dan, I am ecstatic. Loaiza is a BIG step up AFAIAC. He'll pitch big in pinstripes, I feel confident of that. As for Jose, maybe he'll eventually adapt to pitching in the big leagues, but he would not have done that in the pressurized cooker that playing for Steinbrenner represents. Loaiza needs to prove he's a real pitcher. The word from Chicago was that he was back to his old stuff, that last year may have been a fluke. Most interesting stat I saw in the head-to-head comparison between him and Contreras: Opponents Batting Average against: Contreras- .255 Loaiza - .280 It may be an upgrade in terms of overall consistency, but Loaiza has to figure out how to pitch like he did in 2003 or Steinbrenner will be all over his ass in a heartbeat.
