You've outlived Gilda Radner and Peter Tosh by 4 days. If you make it 6 more days, you will outlive Richard Manuel. You're in my sights Manuel

The trumpeter's name is Christian Scott. I don't know why I thought it was Wallace Roney. http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:gzOsYV...lient=firefox-a

Wilhelm Kempff would have turned 111 today if he had not died prematurely at 95.

Yep--tried both copies several times on three different players. Once or twice they didn't skip, but most of the time they both skipped at the exact same spot on all 3 players. That's weird. Have you tried extracting and burning a new copy???

Track 8 on disc 6 of my set, which I bought several years ago, doesn't skip. The total timing of my disc 6 is 71:59. Same timing on mine, but there's a definite problem at the same location on both copies of the disc I received--the second copy actually gets stuck at that location for a few seconds before moving on. As I said before, it must be a problem with this particular pressing. And fortunately, DG has a department to deal with just this kind of thing. Hey Ron I just checked my copy that I got from Amazon and I didn't notice anything. I played it on two diferent players. Have you tried playing the disc in question on another cd player??

Mmmm.... Yummy!

Nate Wiley...... http://www.citypaper.net/articles/032698/cover.shtml http://www.philebrity.com/2006/11/21/rip-n...2006/#more-4744 http://blogs.philly.com/blinq/2006/11/nate_wiley_83.html Damn, I'm gonna miss him. I love this quote,"I don't know how to play jazz. I play liquor-drinking music."

Why did they let him perform the next night? Where was their indignation then???

Burroughs' take...... Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, 1986 William S. Burroughs For John Dillinger In hope he is still alive Thanks for the wild turkey and the Passenger Pigeons, destined to be shit out through wholesome American guts — thanks for a Continent to despoil and poison — thanks for Indians to provide a modicum of challenge and danger — thanks for vast herds of bison to kill and skin, leaving the carcass to rot — thanks for bounties on wolves and coyotes — thanks for the AMERICAN DREAM to vulgarize and falsify until the bare lies shine through — thanks for the KKK, for nigger-killing lawmen feeling their notches, for decent church-going women with their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces — thanks for "Kill a Queer for Christ" stickers — thanks for laboratory AIDS — thanks for Prohibition and the War Against Drugs — thanks for a country where nobody is allowed to mind his own business — thanks for a nation of finks — yes, thanks for all the memories... all right, let's see your arms... you always were a headache and you always were a bore — thanks for the last and greatest betrayal of the last and greatest of human dreams.

Well, there goes any lingering respect I might have had for Costello (never liked his music anyway). I enjoy Elvis and never knew about the above......poor judgement and lack of class on his part for sure! m~ Actually, he got into a fight w/ Bonnie Bramlett of Delaney and Bonnie fame, not Stills. She punched him and knocked out a couple of teeth, IIRC. He had to cancel the rest of his tour. He did apologize. Not to defend him but he was, by all accounts, blind drunk at the time of the incident and apparently she had been saying disparaging things about his music. How many people have said something stupid in their early 20's while drunk that they later regretted??? I don't forgive him but after 27 years I think the statue of limitations has run out and I've moved past it. Edit: oops I didn't see Quincy's reply.

As far as Europe '72 official releases go I like Steppin' Out With the Grateful Dead the best. No overdubs, no fooling around w/ the mix, just as nature intended it to be. And some serious ass kicking jams to boot!

No you're not crazy. The sped up the whole album when it was originally released. They also overdubbed a lot of parts.

MVP!! MVP!!!!

Haiku for Cincinnati fans... Bengals' defense sucks Girl Scouts can tackle better Yummy cookies too!

Haiku for Philly Sports fans.... Donovan McNabb Blew his knee out yesterday The Eagles are done

Breaking news... Former Eagle Andre Waters died early this morning, according to broadcast reports. He was 44. A Comcast-Sportsnet report said Waters committed suicide in his home in Tampa, Fla. A defensive back, Waters played with the Eagles from 1984-1993.

The Cubs paid too much and, unlike the Sox, will not be making any money back from broadcasting games in Japan.

It may have been Nicholas Payton. He's spiltting the trumpet duties w/ Wallace Roney on this tour. I saw them Friday night here in Philly and Roney was w/ them. I didn't think McCoy looked so frail this time. He was definitely moving around better than the last few times I saw him(earlier this year and April 2005) when I thought he looked pretty bad. Remember it's a long flight from Philly to Austin and then he had to play that same night. That would do me in and I'm in pretty good shape for 42. His voice still sounds tired though.

Rufus Harley - Courage: The Atlantic Recordings The late Rufus Harley didn't take “no” for an answer when it came to music. As a youngster in Philadelphia, the novice saxophonist twice retrieved his instrument from a pawn shop to which his mother had tried to consign it. But after November 25, 1963, the sax would play second fiddle in Rufus' jazz career. That was the day of John F. Kennedy's funeral procession, and leading the solemn march through the streets of the nation's capital were nine pipers from the Black Watch of The Royal Highlanders Regiment. Listening to them play, Harley dreamed up a whole new kind of music... Jazz bagpipes. On paper, it was a pretty unlikely combination, but for anyone who gave them a fair hearing, Rufus' performances quelled all skeptics. When he won over local Philly DJ and aspiring record producer Joel Dorn, Harley earned a contract with Atlantic Records, which issued his debut in 1966. Bagpipe Blues was a success, and through the remainder of the decade, Harley and Dorn completed three more albums for the label: Scotch & Soul (1966), A Tribute To Courage (1967), and King/Queens (1970). Though he was also a skilled sax player and flutist, Rufus was seen at the time as a novelty act -- “the world's first jazz bagpipe player.” But in hindsight his music is of a piece with the sonic boundary-breaking of such greats as Rahsaan Roland Kirk and Pharoah Sanders in the 1960s - a time of heightened interest in exotic sounds and styles from around the globe. In the years since his innovative Atlantic releases, Harley toured with his idol Sonny Rollins, and made guest appearances on recordings by the likes of Laurie Anderson and The Roots. The Rhino Handmade collection Courage: The Atlantic Recordings gathers all four of the jazzman's albums for the label, along with a previously unreleased version of “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?” from the King/Queens sessions and “Pipin' The Blues” from Sonny Stitt's 1967 LP Deuces Wild, a track which prominently features Harley's bagpipes. Featuring remastered sound, rare photos, and producer Daniel Goldmark's insightful liner notes, this ear-opening 2-CD set goes a long way toward proving Rufus' contention that “this thing about the bagpipes not being for jazz is all in the mind.” Courage: The Atlantic Recordings is available for $39.98 as an individually numbered limited edition of 3,000 copies.

I just heard 12-06-73 for the first time last month: an absolute killer! 12-06, 11-11, and 12-02 are making a case with me that late 73 might have been the Dead's absolute peak. I tend to agree. Fall of '73 is my favorite period. Hell the whole frickin' year is tremendous.

I emailed Noah Howard this week and at the end of the email I wrote,"Any chance you might re-release Black Ark or the Berlin Concert??" I got a cryptic reply yesterday saying he was "going to release it in the Spring". Now does "it" refer to Black Ark or The Berlin Concert????

The jazz and classical sections at Broad and Walnut in Philly have been picked clean. Although, I managed to pick up "Tes Esat" for $9 bucks. They are still restocking rock/pop sections.
