Cheeseburgers on the grill with corn and potato salad.

Strangely, that was one of the first Blue Notes I ever bought. (Well, one of the first five or so.) Same here. I recall being in a local music store and heard someone commenting on the album. He placed it back in the bin and I ended up walking out the store with it.

Hope you have a great day, Parkertown.

You lucky dog! I hope to get that set for my birthday next month. Enjoy.

Happy birthday, Paps.

I was reading an older thread the other day about The Complete Mercury Art Farmer/Benny Golson/Jazztet set. ALOT of people at the time spoke very highly of the set. It's now moved to the top of my list.

The Parlan box is the main reason why I later purchased the Turrentine Mosaic. Enjoy Al. It's a great set!

4.19 at a local Mobil station. Directly across the street at Citgo they charge 4.30/gal and people incredibly gassing up.

Changing the subject somewhat, I don't how many of you guys purchase the MLB package from your local cable outlet? One of many things I enjoy about subscribing is the chance to hear Joe Garagiola's commentary for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Apparently he must work only on select home games, Saturday nights? It really brings back such fond memories for me growing up in the 70's and hear him working NBC's Game Of The Week. The guy hasn't lost it and always has a great sense of humor and plenty of great stories to share. Still likes to pick on the umpires. Even though I'm a Dodger fan, if he's working the booth on Saturday night, I'll make an effort to watch some of the game.

I was curious seeing that this is an older thread if folks here are still very positive on Jeremy Pelt? His name was passed onto me from another forum earlier tonight recommending me to check his music out. Thanks.

Coming soon: Clifford Jordan/John Gilmore - Blowing In From Chicago Kenny Garrett - Pursuance: The Music Of John Coltrane Gene Ammons - Jammin' In Hi Fi Wayne Shorter - Et Cetera Horace Silver - The Tokyo Blues Bobby Hutcherson - The Kicker Art Blakey - Buhaina's Delight Red Mitchell/Harold Land Quintet - Hear Ye! Clifford Brown & Max Roach Quintet - Brown & Roach Herbie Hancock - My Point Of View Rahsaan Roland Kirk - We Free Kings Grant Green - Talkin' About!

Discs 3 and 4 of the Johnny Hodges Mosaic.

I work for the government. Saving money isn't exactly a priority.

Used my stimulus check as a down payment on a new road bike.

I was fortunate enough to get regular unleaded for 3.99/gal yesterday considering right down the street it costs 4.05 and 4.07/gal. Interesting sidenote, there are 2 local gas stations right across the street from one another. The Mobil sells gas at 4.05/gal and the Citgo next door 4.17/gal. You'd be amazed the cars I see everyday pumping gas at Citgo. Fools. It must be nice to be rich and not have a care in the world.

Birthday greetings, Jim!

Hi Harold. I'm sort of in the same boat as you needing to finally upgrade the receiver after close to 25 years? I own an old Yahama R-9 receiver pushing 125 watts. It's served me well up to recently when the audio seems to drop out now and then. Looks like I'll finally have to bite the bullet. Have you checked out any of the receivers over at Crutchfield's website? This is a receiver I've been eyeing. Crutchfield Website Even if this doesn't meet your expectations, it might be worth searching there inventory?

I always felt these guys were sadly neglected(underated) compared with the scores of other bands that came out of the 70's. I recently saw an excellent documentary on VH1 Classic on Deep Purple's "Machine Head" . I think it might have been at least 5 years old? Just the same, it was great to see the interviews with past members talking how the whole album came together song by song. Very enjoyable.

Sad to see and hear about this stuff. I always enjoyed visiting there stores in the past. They always had better prices than Barnes And Noble there major competitor and a much better selection of releases. Outside of an occasional visit to Newbury Comics, the net has now become my major source for cd purchases these days.

I noticed a good number of Blue Note titles were marked down this weekend over at Amazon. Limited edition items that I've seen as high as $17.99 marked down to either $10.97 and $11.97. Took advantage and picked up a few. Jackie McLean - Jacknife Tina Brooks - Minor Move Bobby Hutcherson - Stick Up! Grant Green - Solid Wayne Shorter - Schizophrenia Larry Young - Into Somethin Clifford Brown - Brown and Roach Inc. (8.97)

Shoot!!! I just stumbled across this thread. I'm sure it was a great show.

Jim, my condolences to you and your family. I lost my dad 6 weeks ago on Monday and while I miss him terribly, he's in a much better place. Please take comfort from the many memories you shared. Sounds like he was great man.

Trane, isn't there a local Post Office in your neighborhood or near your workplace? I realise it may be a pain in the ass to have to stand in line to return the darn thing. But it sure beats having to stand around waiting for your carrier to show up for his appointed rounds and miss a day from work. Just make sure you write on the package DID NOT ORDER, REFUSED or RETURN TO SENDER. That should solve your problem.
