One of our fellow board members offered me up an extra copy of the Live In Tokyo album Japanese issue. I should have that in my hands by the end of next week. I look forward to hearing this.

I have heard great things about this album. I see Wounded Bird reissued this album several years ago. It appears however it was not remastered. I also see a Sony Japanese issue which has been remastered. I guess the question is this. Would it be worth spending some extra money on getting the Japanese issue versus the Wounded Bird issue? Does it really matter? i probably already know the answer to this but I would like to hear from people in the know that are more familiar with this album. Thoughts are much appreciated.

Looks like Clayton Kershaw will become a free agent. As a long time Dodger fan I would hate to see him go, but he's been so injury prone the past 3 or 4 years it might be time to move on. He was an incredible pitcher in his prime, but those days are long gone. Hopefully the Dodgers can find another quality arm.

A terrific show last night I attended with Kevin and friends. To be honest I didn't know much about Wayne except he was a solid player and what little I was able to listen to on Spotify. Outstanding show. The band featured, Orrin Evans on piano, Ugonna Okegwo on bass and Mark Whitfield Jr. on drums. It didn't hurt that we sat in the front row center either.

Getting through this at a snails pace but that's just me. I do love the book.

Really enjoying this . Recent purchase from Dusty Groove.

925 cases today in Maine. I think someone on the news said that might have been a record for the state.

I almost pulled the trigger on Blues For the Viet Cong but I figured I spent enough money already.

Great Tolliver. You should be very happy.

I just picked up a Japanese issue of this album from Dusty Groove which just arrived in the mail this afternoon. What a lineup. Stanley, Woody Shaw, Tyrone Washington, Bobby Hutcherson, Reggie Workman and Joe Chambers. Paid about $25 for the Japanese issue but well worth it.

The one difference I am seeing this go around is that a lot of states in the U.S.. are getting maxed out in terms of hospitalization. This wasn't a real problem prior at least not here in Maine in the past. Now it's beginning to become a problem. What these idiots fail to understand speaking of the unvaccinated , ifsomeone has a serious health issue they may have difficulty finding a bed going forward. That's a real big problem. People screaming about they want their freedom. Yeah let's see how that works out for you if you get sick and there's no room for you at your hospital now.

Today the state of Maine recorded the most new cases since January. With cooler temperatures coming soon I can't imagine where we're headed to.

I can't say with any degree of certainty but I had all the classic symptoms a few weeks back despite being vaccinated. Developed a serious cough and stuffiness with congestion and some shortness of breath. Ran a slight fever with achiness and fatigue. Instead of getting tested I decided to lay low for 10 days and see how things transpired. Feel much better despite the cough that has lingered to some extent. Going forward whenever I find myself in an indoor setting I am now back to wearing a mask.

Another satisfied customer. I received my copy on Friday but didn't get around till yesterday to do any type of serious listening. Four discs in and I'm really loving it. Great performances in excellent sound quality in my opinion. I believe those who made the purchase are going to be quite happy with this.
