  1. 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.
  2. 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.)
  3. 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.
  4. The Andrew Hill Combo playing "Down Pat" on Ping Records 1003, recorded in October 1956. The musicians are: Von Freeman: ts Pat Patrick: bars Andrew Hill: p Malachi Favors: b Wilbur Campbell: dr
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8.

  9. Please post when you receive them. I am currently holding off on an order of the three I listed out.
  10. 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.
  11. 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?
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Kindly apply the forum rules.
  17. 8:35 - he should have said "so ump does a good job protecting the quarterback"
  18. I like the guy's work I'll just have to get over the fact he's a Yanks fan. There's an Angel who does this half-hearted wrasslin-style forearm to the back on the guy who got hit, but the Mariner who reacted to that really laid 'em in there.
  19. Would like to see the ... Jomboy breakdown (?). About 10:23: Dude, that was the gum. What are we gonna do now? Seriously though, didn't the Mariners throw at someone on the Angels? (I didn't have the sound on). I thought that was about the gentlest "right back atcha" pitch I've ever seen. Right in the meaty part of his tush, nowhere near his head, ribs. I mean, you couldn't pay me to stand in and take that myself but they're ballplayers. That didn't necessitate what it turned into. Oh and anyone else amused by the bullpen guys running in alongside each other? For once I'd like to see someone mouth off and a fight starts out there.
  20. I received my 3X tees yesterday (yes, Sunday) and can only say that they are like a slightly over-sized 2X. I strongly suspect I will get one or two uses before the shrinkage will leave me, perhaps, using them as inspiration to get my shit together and lose weight.
  21. OK ... personally can't imagine Elegant Soul on any list of top recordings let alone for being more switched on considering that the original trio is gone (and the drummer isn't even the same across all tracks) and you've got the strings added. That one is really the start of the drop-off in quality for the group. Wondering the bottom 1 or 2 for you?
  22. This is the most interesting comment by the "not really fans or not really big fans" group. Could you please give an example or two of the 1/3 that you love and 2/3s that you don't? Working into that perspective is the fact that its been said (and Bill Dowdy verified to me) that the group was so tight they barely ever did second takes of anything in the studio. So if the musicians were around they might be surprised to hear that there's a perception of them not clicking here, but clicking there. They always clicked. Came from the years spent playing together, including Gene and Bill from around the age of 6 or so (and definitely as early teenagers where they played in clubs, and Gene's dad got free drinks for it.)
  23. For once my expanding girth doesn't hurt, so thanks for this. I ordered the Cornbread, the Hill and the Hub. Should have gotten the other Morgan but this is plenty. The Cornbread looks very snazzy.
  24. Whatever. I linked you to a google search. No dictionary defines nonagenarian as starting at 91.
  25. I am not sure where some of your information comes from ... per Janie Harris and her autobiography, the trio moved to Washington DC to get closer to the jazz big leagues and because one of the members had a relative willing to let them stay with them. They were not in DC purely for a gig with Stitt. I also believe that it was Horace/Kenny/Miles who recommended them to Alfred, from their gigs in DC prior to moving to NY. Regarding the second part of their time at Blue Note it's easy to denigrate when they have albums like Elegant Soul but they started with Out of This World (1966) which is entirely in keeping with their first Blue Note run. Live at the Lighthouse is a great record as well, especially the CD reissue with many extra tracks. Jim can tell you about Coldwater Flat with arrangements by Oliver Nelson. Lastly, the time in between Blue Note stints was not worthless. Live at the Living Room deserved a CD reissue and Blue Genes is fine too. Look I get it: some like them, some don't, some have enough, some don't care. I like almost all of it and wouldn't be without 95% of their recordings, up to and including the CD era issue of Live at the It Club (two volumes). I think there are superficial similarities across Parlan's trio recordings with the Three Sounds (swing, blues feeling) but Parlan's trio doesn't match Harris/Simpkins/Dowdy as a group. Maybe that's because they had played together for so many years. For the record I love Parlan with horns, I enjoy Parlan in a trio quite a bit. But I was the Gene Harris Fanatic so you know where I stand overall.
