Funny in the same circumstances I'd have stopped at the McDonalds or whatever fast food restaurant had an out-parcel for that purpose. Faster ingress and egress for sure. As for malls in general when I was a kid there was a major mall in Nassau county Mom shopped at but at the moment I have no clue what it was called. I'd bet its still in operation though. Later when I was an adolescent in CT, no malls near to Wilton (big one in Stamford that Mom went to as the nearest Macy's (I think)). The opening of the Danbury Mall (20 minute drive) was a pretty big thing as I recall but pretty sure that one has bitten the dust. When I went to Tallahassee for college, malls played a bigger role in my shopping for sure. Governor's Square on Appalachee Parkway, just down the road from Graham's Erection (then-governor Bob Graham, and really you don't think the capitol and the office tower in between don't look like one? Heaven forbid Florida elects a female Governor I don't know what the locals would start calling it.)

From marathon to sprint to slow-motion car wreck. What an abomination. And now, with absolutely no room for error, the Sox manic-depressive offense is in full-on depressive mode, and somehow has to win three straight at the Nats with one of Schwarber, Martinez and Dalbec stuck on the bench. At this point I hope they are eliminated by Saturday night. All that will take is two more embarrassing losses and two wins by Seattle.

Well they are bred to be sold, so part of the deal of having a wife who wants to raise and distribute as many pure-bred apaloosas as possible.

OK but that doesn't explain Jutta Hipp who recorded in the mid-1950s for the label getting royalties in 2003 or the unlikelihood (IMHO) that Alfred and Francis were making the equivalent of $850,000 a year in 1965.

You realize that $100,000 in 1965 is almost $870,000 in today's dollars? https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1965?amount=100000 Also your statement about no royalties at all ... how does that gibe with the fact that we learned that Tom@BlueNote needed help in the early 2000s finding Jutta Hipp to settle her accounts, which amounted to the proverbial "pretty penny" at the time? Did BN change contracts on the fly when the reissue boom started?

Terrible news - my wife and I saw him at this great performance space in Delray Beach (bring your own anything was their motto, so people brought in takeout food with cold beer or wine). Great performance before a very appreciative crowd.

And it also makes the "Well feel something in Bb, motherfucker" story sound real as opposed to legendary or apocryphal.

The truly beautiful Maggie, on schedule, sadly, to go to her new owner in about two weeks.

Thank you I didn't know there was a free option anymore. I will surely keep in mind.

Yeah that works great for album covers but if you don't keep personal photos online harder to do for sharing pics for a thread like this.

I've never needed to delete a prior upload. Each post has a max upload size that is so small - 100KB, and effectively its actually less, because I've had snips that say 90KB and it refuses to upload. But isn't that a per-post not per-thread limit?

While the Sox collapse accelerates, I just want to say that the Jays should make Kevin Kiermaier their personal target from now until he leaves the game, the same way the Rays threw at Brian Daubach, every single game for the rest of his career, after he came in hard and heavy to protect Pedro at the mound. I saw the video when this happened, the way he stared at the card and after grabbing it looked back at the Jays dugout to make sure no one saw him, he knew exactly what he was doing and what it was .... but I didn't know until seeing this breakdown how he got to the dugout and handed it off to the coach. He's a douchebag and a liar - just own up to what you did. Also, the Jays need to secure their shit better because I can't believe the guy lost his card again on the play when they did plunk him.

This site, which looks like a remarkable resource, ought to have it but no dice. https://ripmjazz.org/journal/

Mike Lupica is a lifelong New Yorker, right? MLB let's him look at this weekend's tilt between the Sox and Yankees, and he comes up with this lunacy: Because then they twice played each other in the most dramatic events between them since Bucky Dent’s home run won a one-game playoff between them in Fenway Park on Oct. 2, 1978, the year that the Yankees came from 14 1/2 games back to finally catch the Sox the last week of the regular season. https://www.mlb.com/news/red-sox-yankees-series-will-impact-wild-card-standings The "Boston Massacre" took place September 7 - 10th and put the teams on even footing. The Yankees went on to build a 3.5 game lead over the Sox before faltering a bit. The Yankees were up a game with a week to go and won six straight. The Sox won seven straight and forced the playoff on the last day of the regular season when, IIRC, Cleveland beat the Yankees to play temporary spoiler. It's just pathetic when a guy who made his nut as a NY sports columnist, seemingly forever, gets shit like this wrong - and of course no one at MLB.com is going to know the truth and edit him.

+1.

Um ... but you also wrote this: and by the 1990s, there were lavish box sets for even obscure artists. By contrast, the WWII generation received mostly sub-grade greatest hits collections, or at best budget-line reissues of material with cheap-looking graphics and inconsistent sound. This wasn't about CDs? Pretty sure it was CD box sets that grew lavish in the flush of monetizing the vaults for boomers. And sound quality ("inconsistent sound") only became a bugaboo during the CD era.

That's exactly the model I had in mind. I gotta say though I'd rather see The Stylistics (whichever version) than some seventy year old going on about Big Butts that he will not prevaricate about. They didn't expect the WWII generation to embrace new technology and expect so much bang for the buck.

Not talking Vegas nostalgia but fairly small performance spaces at old folks communities. There are plenty of acts making that circuit and probably doing OK overall.

Wait until the ones with disposable income are rap fans. They'll be moving to places that cater to them, like in south Florida. That catering includes an active circuit of performance spaces that nobody really knows about except residents. My wife's degree is in audio engineering and she used to pick up gigs running sound at shows in places like that. Now, its blue hairs standing and swaying to doo-wop or 70s soul. But imagine when its rap shows, one hit-wonders popping out on stage for a moment in the spotlight, Gen. Z nostalgia instead of boomers. (Not everyone will get to broadway but a package of rappers in their seventies? I can definitely see it.)

I will just be happy if, should a Red Sox/Yankees tilt happen, its not at Yankee Stadium with Russell "Bucky" Dent throwing out first pitch to Aaron Bleepin' Boone.

FWIW, my set arrived yesterday, two weeks after my b-day (and it was ordered seven days before, IIRC.) And MovieMars shorted me on the order, with no trace of the Hargrove/Mulgrew release. I told them to advise on whether its shipping or not in stock and to issue refund and cancel if its not going to ship immediately. Amazon's price was the same and with Prime shipping, so same deal, and I can get it from them when I want to order.

I can't imagine intentional purchasing of the same music, now, or years ago when all I could think of was what I hadn't heard yet. Money is finite and I am not obsessed with sound reproduction.

To make this interesting I think people should concentrate on this aspect of the OP's concept for this category. Otherwise this becomes a list of favorite chordal instrumentalists. Because, if I mention Wynton Kelly or Kenny Drew, I am oftentimes thinking about their soloing with Hank Mobley or with Dex or Ben Webster. So in this regard I'd nominate Andy Simpkins for his performances, along with Bill Dowdy, to make The Three Sounds "One Sound".

In case anyone saw my prior post I am adding this one below the completely rewritten post with info from Mr. Iselin.
