Leonard Cohen has passed away at 82. RIP. http://variety.com/2016/music/news/leonard-cohen-dead-dies-canadian-singer-songwriter-suzanne-1201915361/

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Thanks John and BeBop! The Donato album is made up entirely of his compositions, and I was surprised by the number I was familiar with (mostly from early Sergio Mendes records).

Happy Birthday 2016 Tim!

Happy Birthday 2016 Neal!

Happy Birthday Paul!

Dana, regarding the 5 Original Albums boxes, I don't know. Who will be the first to order?

This might appeal to some of you. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Freedom - Live at the 1970 Atlanta Pop Festival (2 CDs) - $8.00 prime https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010GV5PVQ/

Thanks Lon!

I have found a CD called Elvis '56. https://www.amazon.com/Elvis-56-Presley/dp/B003O5MOJI As you know, Elvis's masters are now owned by Sony. Amazon lists the label here as SBME SPECIAL MKTS. Do you think this is a legit release? Do you recommend another CD for his 1956 recordings? Thanks!

Thanks, my friends! My day was quiet and uneventful. I received a few things that might interest you: The House That Trane Built by Ashley Kahn Joao Donato - Sambou Sambou Julie London - London By Night These should keep me busy till Christmas!

Another point made in the article that surprised me is that for the first six months of 2016, CDs accounted for only 13% of revenue for the record companies.

There was a FRONT PAGE (!!!) article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal which said that the candy industry has no definition for the taste of candy corn. http://www.wsj.com/articles/yo-candy-corn-m-ms-and-oreos-are-all-up-in-your-flavor-1477666766

I did not like this at first, but it has grown on me a lot. I think one reason is that I like Disc II much more than Disc I.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/boost-in-online-pirated-cd-sales-deal-another-blow-to-music-industry-1477867243 1) The sales are online. 2) "Greatest Hits" discs are the most likely to be counterfeit.

Happy Birthday 2016 Greg!

Happy Birthday 2016 Patrick!

Thanks kh!

I suspect I asked this before, and made no follow-up action. I would like to get some George Adams for Christmas. With Don Pullen? Is the Soul Note material the best, or would you recommend something else?
