I never got around to playing them! I'm sure they're somewhere. In those days, Mosaic did not seal the CDs, so I made a copy of everything. I know that the CDs in question were played only the once because I have never heard them!

Brad, you may like to see these comments. ***** grooveshark: Cal Tjader - Here & There

It's May 5 once again. I've gone over to grooveshark and am now listening to one I've never heard before called Here & There.

Two more today. Because so many people feel that Sunday and Monday are the two best days to end an auction, I decided to make these two five-day auctions instead of seven. We'll see if any Herbie Nichols fan jumps for the transcription of one of the songs from the set. I'm also curious to see if there is any interest in the two old Mosaic catalogues I am offering.

In my current eBay Mosaic auctions I have made two sales. Because I am a new seller (less than 100 (!) positive feedbacks), PayPal is holding the money until I receive the positive feedback from the sale or 21 days, whichever is less. This came as an unpleasant surprise to me. This means that I have to pay for shipping (which isn't cheap) now, knowing that I will be paid in three weeks.

Edmonton has released Jesse Lumsden. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/eskimos-release-jesse-lumsden/article1557467/

Lala: Baja Marimba Band - Best of Baja

I bought Going Places by The Tijuana Brass when it was brand new in Nov. of '65. I'm sure I still have it in a box somewhere, but I haven't heard it in decades. I've just now finished listening to it at lala (before it goes away the end of this month), and I was struck by what a workout the drummer went through. I never appreciated before how important he was to the band.

Happy Birthday Selim Sivad!

Happy Birthday 2010 ASNL77!

Here's a good analysis of how each of the teams did in the draft: http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Columnists/Koshan/2010/05/03/13812851.html

I put up three more today. The book I read suggested that you offer some sort of bonus for Buy It Now, so the past couple of days I have offered Free US Shipping. Today I offered old clippings of the Let's Get Lost movie review, and a very old Mosaic brochure.

I have another new best friend. Someone has bought the Chet Baker Live at $38 per cd.

I have a new best friend! Someone has purchased the Buddy DeFranco box at $50 per cd. However, because I am a new seller, PayPal is holding the payment until delivery.

Thanks, guys, for your words of encouragement! I put three up today. I'm still learning. The idea was to have all three end at 4:50 pm eastern on Monday. But I made a mistake on the first one, Curtis Fuller, and didn't figure out how to correct it until 5:05 pm.

I haven't decided what that will be, but I hope to put up three.

I remember the rave reviews she got for Georgie Girl ca. 1966. It never appealled to me at the time, but I saw it ten years later and really enjoyed it. RIP.

OK, I've tried to follow the advice of as many of you as I could, and I have put up my first two Mosaics today. If I have time, I'll put up another two tomorrow. Sandy says that it is better to clump them together rather than to string them out. Take a look! Maybe you can get something cheap!

Here's an article on the first round of the draft, which should be read in conjunction with yesterday's article. The Roughriders traded Jamie Boreham to the Argos. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/riders-make-williams-first-pick/article1553985/

grooveshark: Cal Tjader - The Prophet

RIP. I liked his work. Maybe he was older than most who first hit the big time, but until I saw a photo a couple of years ago, I imagined that he was much younger than he was.

The draft is tomorrow. Here's a good article on eight top prospects. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/2010/05/01/13789561-qmi.html

Two years ago Werner put out an album with Roseanna Vitro, Randy Brecker, James Carter, John Patitucci and others called Serve or Suffer, calling the band the Delirium Blues Project. I continue to enjoy it. It reminds me of Blood, Sweat and Tears at their best, with a female vocalist. I haven't seen anything by Werner since, and I would like to. Maybe lala or grooveshark have something.

I've spent the evening at grooveshark. My earlier problem was apparently because of a defective file. Grooveshark has a much smaller playlist than lala when it comes to jazz, but I feel that the audio sounds much better.

I have found what appears to be a similar site called grooveshark.com. It is ad supported, but I think you can listen to streaming for free. I have been able to start a playlist, but I haven't figured out how to get the playlist to play. I'll keep working on it.
