Stompin at the Savoy

Do you mean Pardon My Bop and Diaper Pin? Possibly because the group was billed as a "Quartette"? https://www.discogs.com/release/9448294-Stan-Getz-Quartette-Pardon-My-Bop-Diaper-Pin

It is great as a searchable archive of threads about various artists and works and I often search here for info when contemplating buying cds, box sets, books, etc. I agree with you that lately there hasn't been all that much jazz content for some reason. Mostly posts on the model of: "Album covers with canker sores with special credit for bunions - you know you want to". Or rock music.

Your guitar?

The inside of an x-braced, six string guitar with tapered top bracing. The bridge plate does not appear marked at all so probably a pretty new guitar (or had bridge plate replaced).

They are legit and licensed by Sony. I have a couple of their sets and they are well executed. Excellent prices. I don't have the cds handy but I believe they are regular cds, not cd-r. Dexter Gordon's Complete Columbia Albums Collection, 7 CD's in the original album format. There is also a 9-cd Duke Ellington Complete Columbia Studio Albums Collection 1951-1958. Paul Desmond Complete RCA Albums Collection 1962-1965, Nina Simone Complete RCA Albums and a few others.

Yes this is very old school. I used it many years ago in commercial settings. I like the simplicity of it and the fact that it is free and already present on any Windows system. If you are afraid to use the command line like this, first go into notepad and compose your command then copy it to the command line. You can find the proper address of each library by right clicking and getting properties on it in Windows Explorer. Create a couple of test directories, put some files in one and do a Robocopy to the other and make a test first.

I know a lot of people are, like me, keeping a lot of music files (and possibly other files containing discography information or booklets) on hard drives, sd cards, etc and backing these music and data files up to other hard drives, etc. This can be a very time-consuming process if you have to copy entire directory structures to a blank backup. But if you are regularly backing up a directory structure to a backup, you can automate the process and only copy things that have changed (and delete things that have been deleted, etc) on a PC with a built-in program called ROBOCOPY. This runs from a PC command line (DOS box). It can save you amazing amounts of time and avoid user errors in backing up. Basic syntax: ROBOCOPY source destination /MIR Sample: ROBOCOPY "C:\Users\User Name\Desktop\mosaic and other booklets" "E:\mosaic and other booklets" /MIR For syntax and more options at the command line type: ROBOCOPY /?

Janet King, season 3 on Acorn.

I have a different take on the bear thing. The cub was killed by a car. So now its mother is probably looking around for it and some asshole removes the corpse from the area. OK he says he wants to eat it and then screws up by leaving the corpse in a car for hours while he goes falconing or some damn thing. And eventually he arranges some kind of jokey tableau with the corpse and a bicycle. A cub was (in my view) tragically killed and the dude accorded it no dignity, viewed it as a plaything and gave no thought to the cub's mother.

When he jumps through he hits a swinging door with his head? I have heard of animals developing a tumor at the point of contact.

Cats are very fastidious creatures. Try to keep the cat-box well away from their food and water and places they like to hang out. One thing that struck me about this situation: the cat may have a problem with going through the cat door. Could have some painful spot that gets hit when he goes through the door.

I'm by no means a cat expert. Is it only urine? The cat is 13 - not ancient but getting up there - so is it possible he has developed some sort of urinary issue and uses the hall when he has to go urgently and can't get to the box or outside?

I have the whole series too. It's definitely very fun music and I never tire of listening to his stride piano, even on some of the novelty stuff they had him play. Truly brilliant guy. I wish RCA would take a look at remastering it. This version was done quite a while back and I wonder if it couldn't be improved on quite a bit with newer techniques. They did a few tunes for a volume of the Centennial Collection and they are great!

It's an article from 1959: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/30112/pg30112-images.html

I received one of the advertised sets. Everything beautiful. Super quick turnaround and excellent packing. Very solid, recommended seller!

The kindle price for this has just dropped to $1.99. So I got a kindle copy. (I don't actually own a Kindle device - my eyesight is poor and the screens are pretty small. I use the free kindle app for pc and ipad.)

We're not paying Mosaic for the recordings per se. We are paying them for the research and discography work, for finding the best sources, for transferring, cleaning up and mastering these recordings, and presenting them in a nice package. Making these recordings accessible is a service to the artists, virtually all of whom are deceased and don't need money now.

These were funded with US taxpayer dollars to provide entertainment and recreation for the troops 80 years ago. The original plan was to destroy every bit of that great music. I for one am very glad GIs, collectors, and pirate publishers have kept this music available. It was funded by the public and it seems fitting to me that these recordings should now be in the public domain.

There is some interesting info here https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/music-law-101-how-long-does-copyright-57301/ I think the genie is out of the bottle already. These things have been published in various ways and nothing has been done about it. If I read the material in the link above correctly, any conceivable copyright that may have existed is either expired now or just about to expire. Any performer who was 20 years old in 1943 is now 101 if they are still alive.

Well they were broadcast to the armed forces (and incidentally to the public) about 80 years ago. Was there ever even a copyright holder for these? I kind of doubt it. And if there was an owner did they renew the copyright? They were supposed to be destroyed. No idea but they appear to be, de facto, in the public domain now.
