OH, sure, thanks ever so much. You just had to share that, didn't you???

I'm shocked, shocked, I say!

Good choice, Evan.

Sorry Shrdlu, but I think that for whatever reason, (and please note, Chris, that the phrase "bitter old man" is not being bandied about) Chris feels a need to be what he considers a truth-teller when it comes to Keepnews and Grauer. In Chris' view, Orrin was mostly in charge of the stop-watch, that was the extent of his "producing".

What tune's opening notes put the biggest charge into you? So What? 'A' Train? Take Five? What familiar theme thrills you beyond compare? I thought of this as I was listening to a rare Bird recording from Montreal, and that triggers my vote: "Now's The Time"

Can't take credit for NMCOT but I'll definitely lay claim to DKDC.

Coincidentally, I just gave my first listen to the Mulgrew record-I picked it up when Borders was running the 25% off any CD coupon but hadn't had a chance to listen til now. Very good, as Joe says. Definitely one to seek out.

What jlhoots said. Great album, too short. Which was a more auspicious debut, Hank's ten inch BN or Griff's Argo? That is a very tough call.

Well, no one can accuse former Red Sox manager and Red Sox Nation Pariah Grady Little of not having a sense of humor about his ill-fated trip to the mound to relieve (or not) Pedro Martinez last October. It seems that the Brockton Rox, an Independent League team, wanted to have some fun with a unique Bobble-Head doll in Grady's honor. But not a bobble-HEAD, a bobble-ARM, as in, the left arm that Grady should have raised, signalling for a lefty when he came to the mound. However, it was reported originally, that Grady wasn't too thrilled, and the team cancelled the promotion. However, Grady has now approved sale of the 1000 dolls that were made, provided that the proceeds benefit a charity that helps old baseball scouts. But I am so disappointed: Sales on the website started today, and its already listed as unavailable. They also planned to sell at the ballpark, and over the phone, starting tomorrow. I wonder if the web sold out of every doll, or did they only allow a certain number to be sold? Man, now the only way to get one of these will be on ebay, and the price will be astronomical!

Anyone else notice that Soul Sauce became Soul Source?

Look at the second post:

Well I'm glad my poll was taken in the spirit in which it was intended. Joe, I think your lyric mistake was at least as bad as mine!

This one had "Heard it in a Love Song"-another big hit was "Can't You See".

By the way, write in votes are encouraged.

Yes, I am going for silliest poll.

Inspired by hearing Marshall Tucker Band's big hit, "Heard it in a Love Song" (full, embarassing disclosure: for years, I thought the refrain in this tune was "Purty little love song" B) )

More Benny Carter: Harlem Renaissance Another Time, Another Place (with Phil Woods) My Man Benny, My Man Phil (also with Woods) In The Mood for Spring Meets Oscar Peterson Legends Tickle Toe American Jazz Orchestra All of Me (Bluebird) Cookin' At Carlos I More Cookin' (anyone know how this one came about? I never knew that a second set existed, and this one is on Jazz Heritage. I wonder if it was licensed to them as an exclusive? Anyway, glad I stumbled across it at the used CD place!) Montreux '77 Cosmopolite The Verve Small Group Sessions The King My Kind of Trouble Songbook Songbook II A Gentleman and His Music (What a terrific way to end the work week, with a front line of Scott Hamilton, Joe Wilder, and Benny, and Gene Harris leading the rhythm section. This is a five star recording, no question.)

Also bear in mind that since they are stored separately, Mosaic sets and anything that didn't come in a standard jewel box are not included either. Why not play over your boxed cd sets as well? Or perhaps you've already explained why not on your initial post. (Can't remember.) No, the things is, around the time I started this, I grabbed all of my mini-LPs for the car, and since then I've been cycling through about half of my Mosaics. So, this will definitely be limited to those jewel box CDs that I've switched into the three ring binders.

Michael Thomas has at least one CD out, The Awakening (probably available at the website Bertrand gave, but definitely available from Cadence) which is very solid hard bop. Judging from the CD, I wouldn't hestitate to attend if I were anywhere nearby instead of in south Florida.

And speaking of these, "should I spring?" threads ... has the consensus ever been "save your money, its not really that good"??? I mean, even on something as middling as Hank's Reach Out, we're still fanatical enough that most people say, "go for it".

I had these when they came out on CD, somehow didn't warm to them and let them go, many years later saw one of them used and quickly realized the error of my ways (I'd thought they were already OOP though). So I guess I better get the other one, pronto.

Man that sucks.

I got your basic LX (the one with power equipment but no sunroof), with the five speed, new. I replaced the standard radio unit with a CD player, the only problem with it is the fact that the button for changing the time is fukked up, so half the year the clock is one hour behind. No alarm so no problems there. And the best thing: the three year note was paid off in September of last year ... and not to make you feel bad, but my monthly payment was $140.00 (I put a lot of cash into it and only financed like $5000).

Interesting questions, and I propose that 7/4 be the test subject so we can determine what is excreted when an asshole eats shit.

Also bear in mind that since they are stored separately, Mosaic sets and anything that didn't come in a standard jewel box are not included either. Live in a swamp and be one dimensional. Eat shit and die.
