PHILLYQ

It's not looking good for Tower at all. I googled 'Tower Records bankruptcy' because I vaguely remembered them filing. Tower filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in 2004 because they couldn't find a buyer, and they still can't find a buyer. The major music companies have now refused to supply Tower with additional product after Tower informed them that Tower would not be paying any outstanding invoices. Tower is also on their 3rd CEO in 4 years, the latest a turnaround specialist. Upcoming liquidation sale is my best guess. It's very rare that a company comes out of Chapter 11, as Tower did, and survives for long afterwards.

He was a pretty good baseball player, though.

Interesting point, Berigan. What if he had done massive quantities of coke(Michael Irvin), then engaged in the same behavior, but immediately entered rehab afterwards? He'd be back in a few months!!!

My first concert, in 1970, was Santana at the Fillmore East. Opening act was Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Would love to hear that now- then, it was bewildering and strange. Now, I'd probably dig it a lot.

20- with shipping it's absurdly cheap, and I also got some soul music, blues, & doowop along with the jazz. Now I hope I get home before my wife on the day the box arrives...

It hasn't been a long time that the kids are in NYC, but in teenage time it seems forever to them. Teenagers can be very resilient, but change of this type(moving a long distance to a very different environment) can be difficult to deal with on top of all the other things that teenagers deal with. One thing I would check into is how school is for them- are they having social issues at school, such as being treated like outsiders, not being considered 'cool' enough, etc. That may be fueling their desire to go back to AZ. Counseling may also help, as sometimes a third party without any stake may be able to clarify what's bugging whom and suggest ways to work it out. I'm not all that sure that moving them back to AZ will resolve everything for them in the way that they wish. That's my $0.02, and I hope things work out OK for all.

Kobayashi was spotted the day after the contest in a steakhouse eating a 22oz steak, salad and cheesecake for dinner.

Was the second child named Sabrett?

Jazzmoose, The link doesn't appear to work.

My condolences,Mark. 34 is so young to pass, and so sudden- it's a total shock to everyone who knows him.

The $6 sale is now the $5 sale, step up and buy, buy, buy.

Guy, Let us know what you think of it- I was quite underwhelmed by the latest disc, but I have the feeling they are much better live.

Thank you all- I really appreciate the wishes.

Skid's advice is great, and I speak from personal experience. I've bought discs that had people I had heard OF, but never heard that turned out too be excellent. I've bought discs just because they were on sale or cheap that turned me in a whole other direction in exploring music. As Conn said, if you get something that doesn't tickle your fancy, sell it on the board or go Ebay. But be willing to experiment- you'll find some great treasures that way if you trust your ears.

Got it- just sent a reply.

Thank you very much for the kind wishes,and for evryone else whose B-day thread I missed, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ALL!!!

I hope this was caught at an early stage. Someone I know had an aneurysm that was caught early and after a few months was back to normal.

My own take, perhaps cynical, is that if you expect to be appreciated you may be in for a letdown. I have to do what I do at work, at home, etc. regardless of whether or not anyone appreciates what I do. I certainly enjoy any appreciation that comes my way, but I don't really expect it and it doesn't stop me from doing what I need to do. Your mileage may vary.
