62 YARD FIELD GOAL???? HOLY CRAP!! Sigh.

What's the difference between a musician and a large pizza? A large pizza can feed a family of four. -------------------------- How do you make a musician's car more aerodynamic? Take the Domino's sign off the roof. ------------------------ What's the difference between a dead trombonist in the road and a dead skunk in the road? The skunk was on his way to a gig. OR.. There are skidmarks in front of the skunk. ------------------------- What do you say to a drummer in a suit? Will the defendant please rise. ------------------------ What do call a successful musician? A guy whose wife/girlfriend has 2 jobs.

Thanks for the reply. I just ordered Homage and New Africa. I have the Way Ahead on Sunspots. I think it sounds fine. If it's a LP dub they fooled me.

What's an ORTF tape???? Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française??? Is there a noticeable audio difference between Fuel 2000, Charly, and Sunspots editions?

I don't see how, with the season on the line, you strike out LOOKING. Okay, maybe if you're Pat Burrell. If you even remotely think that the ball is a strike you have to swing at it - try and foul it off. But to just stand there and watch the ball?? He had to have known that Wainwright was gonna be throwing that curve ball. It was the same pitch he got Floyd out on two batters earlier.

Link Museum Quality Collection: Unreleased Audio Recordings, Rare Video & Film Footage, Personal Items and Unpublished Photographs CHICAGO, Sept. 29 -- In an unprecedented announcement today, Ocean Tomo Auctions, LLC revealed the inclusion of a one-of-a-kind Jimi Hendrix Collection in The Ocean Tomo Fall 2006 Intellectual Property Auction on October 26th at Capitale in New York City. This remarkable lot, which contains more than 15, 000 Hendrix assets, is considered by industry experts to be the most comprehensive Jimi Hendrix collection in existence. "When we were approached with this collection, we knew we had to include it in our auction because it contains unreleased Jimi Hendrix music and video", said Dean Becker, Vice Chairman of Ocean Tomo. "We are currently auctioning the rights for Hendrix's music as claimed by the Michael Frank Jeffery Estate, on behalf of fourteen UK-based charities, and 2 other Hendrix-related lots. The unexpected combination of these four lots -- the Jeffrey Estate rights, the archive collection of raw material, the lost Jimi Hendrix song, 'Station Break, ' and the master rights to thirty-three songs recorded by Hendrix with Curtis Knight -- suddenly makes this an opportunity with immense commercial potential for the right buyer." Jimi Hendrix is the ultimate rock icon, with his influence still resonating throughout music, fashion and popular culture nearly 35 years after his untimely death. His handful of releases still sell well more than 1 million copies a year worldwide; his songs and image are a constant presence in the world of advertising -- whether on the covers of magazines, on television or on the internet. Expansive Audio Assets The main attraction in this lot is certainly the group of nearly fifty 7" reel-to-reel tapes usually referred to as the "Personal Reels of Jimi Hendrix." These are thought to be Jimi's own tapes of studio mix-downs, jam sessions and band rehearsals, which contain a conservative estimate of sixty hours of unreleased material. "Hendrix was one of the most prolific rock musicians of all time. When not performing concerts, he was usually in the studio working on songs or inviting fellow musicians along for impromptu 'jam' sessions -- all with the tape machines rolling", stated Vincent Tornatore, Hendrix memorabilia expert. "The collection contains hours of recordings from Hendrix's prime, the majority of which is not only unreleased, but is of higher quality than previously-released versions of similar material." Among these reels are several of the famous "Sotheby's Tapes", which were sold in the first ever music memorabilia auction in 1981, and have not reappeared on the market since. Jimi Hendrix often requested two track mix-downs of his day's work in the studio so that he could take the music home to listen to it and refine his ideas. Estimates of how many of these tapes existed at the time of Hendrix's death range from 70-100 tapes; more than half that number of tapes are included in this collection. Many others have since disappeared or been destroyed. The audio on these reels -- almost entirely unheard by the public -- is of exceptional quality and contains recordings from Hendrix's rehearsals for Woodstock, rehearsals by his Band of Gypsies as well as a myriad of studio outtakes. This music is pure, without overdubs or later manipulations -- Jimi Hendrix raw, at his most expressive and profound. The collection also includes more than forty 10" reel-to-reel tapes, seven of which are of Hendrix's live performances from Winterland (1968); other reels feature performances at Atlanta Pop Festival, at Berkeley, and a wealth of other live recordings and unreleased material, including rough mixes and mix-downs from sessions. There are also more than seventy rare test pressings and one-of-a-kind acetates of songs which highlight different takes and/or mixes from the released versions. Among these acetates are several from the personal collection of Hendrix bassist Noel Redding which feature tracks and mixes that have not been heard since they were first recorded including a searing version of 'Purple Haze, ' Hendrix's signature song. Rare Film and Video Footage This massive video and film archive contains hours and hours of rare video and film footage in all formats -- digital U-Matic tapes, 8mm, 16mm and 35mm film -- and contains an incredible wealth of footage of Jimi Hendrix, live in full blaze of glory, as well as backstage with fans. There are around fifty U-Matic tapes in all; several of these tapes contain footage of Hendrix performances at the Atlanta Pop Festival, the Monterey Pop Festival and Rainbow Bridge. These U-Matic tapes also include audio material, such as master safety copies for the unreleased Jimi Hendrix "Lonesome Train" album as well as well-known Hendrix songs. Many of the films, included as originals and telecined transfers, contain unique handheld footage shot by fans in attendance at Jimi Hendrix concerts. Astounding Private Images This mammoth collection features nearly a thousand unseen photographs by the biggest names in rock photography -- Henry Diltz, Shep Tullier, Tom Copi, John R. Gossage, Baron Wolman, David Sygall and Nona Hatay. Given Hendrix's fame, a surprisingly small number of photographs are in circulation. This collection could stand alone as a photographic archive as it includes many unpublished photos, contact sheets as well as approximately 1, 200 slides that feature terrific color shots of Hendrix working in the studio. Among the highlights are spectacular over-sized candid shots of Hendrix in a Washington, D.C. hotel room as well as memorable and vivid images in both black & white and in color of Hendrix in performance at the Woodstock festival taken by Allan Koss. Unique Memorabilia Aside from the audio/visual and photographic assets, the collection contains a world-class inventory of other valuable Jimi Hendrix pieces. Some highlights include personal items, such as one of Hendrix's favorite buckskin fringe jackets, a silk shirt, and a guitar believed to be the only left-handed one he ever owned; promotional materials for virtually every Hendrix release, including a prop from the photo shoot for the notorious original 1968 UK Track Records version of Hendrix's magnum opus, "Electric Ladyland", ; the most complete collection of Hendrix LPs and 45s known to exist; as well as tickets, handbills, psychedelic posters, and other elements of interest to rock memorabilia collectors across the globe. more.....

Nice game by Maine tonight. Looks like that injury to El Duque turned out to be a stroke of good luck afterall.

Here's a nice little article about Jack Wright from one of Philly's free weeklies... http://www.citypaper.net/articles/2006/10/...That-Jack-Built

Yes, I have the '72 on cdr lying around somewhere. A nice l-o-n-g TOO followed by Morning Dew, IIRC.

it could be. Today may have been to the only day that Jimmy had free to celebrate his "birthday" in Philly. Too bad it's raining cats and dogs here.

Can't wait to get a copy of that!

Posted on Tue, Oct. 17, 2006 Sax man Jimmy Heath, 80, celebrating jazz and life By Annette John-Hall Inquirer Staff Writer There is no historical marker erected at the house on 1927 Federal St., but there probably should be. Because it was there, in Percy and Arlethia Heath's South Philadelphia rowhouse, where jazz superstars mingled. Ellington. Basie. Bird. Diz. They'd all come to the Heath house after gigs at the old Earle Theatre at 11th and Market, and feast on Arlethia Heath's down-home cooking. Those visits were heaven for the Heath boys - Percy Jr.; James, or Jimmy; and Albert, nicknamed Tootie - musicians themselves. They'd watch their idols in wide-eyed wonder. Sixty-some years later, saxophonist Jimmy Heath chuckles fondly at the memories. What better way to celebrate his 80th birthday than to come home and jam with young musicians, encouraging and inspiring them just like his heroes did for him? Heath will perform with trumpeter Terell Stafford and the Temple University Jazz Band in a birthday celebration at the Kimmel Center tonight. Earlier today, he is to teach a master class at Temple's Boyer College of Music and Dance. A member of the renowned Heath Brothers, and a National Endowment for the Arts "American Jazz Master," Heath is a legend now. Mona Heath, 74, Jimmy's wife of 46 years, jokes that the key to greatness is survival because "if you survive, you become one of the great ones." But Heath's greatness stems from more than reaching octogenarian status. Besides his sophistication on the tenor sax - "if you know Jimmy Heath, you know bop," Dizzy Gillespie once gushed - the Grammy-nominated musician has played with such greats as Miles Davis and John Coltrane and is a highly regarded composer and arranger. He recently retired from Queens College, in New York, where he taught master classes for 12 years. Mona Heath believes that teaching connected her husband to new generations of musicians and kept him relevant. Like other jazz musicians who didn't get the recognition they felt they deserved, "Jimmy never felt bitter," she says. "His teaching kept him working hard on his skills." "When you teach, you learn," Heath says. He's calling from his home in Flushing, N.Y., near Shea Stadium. "I starting teaching in Philly with Sam Reed, who was the director of the band of the old Uptown Theater. [Pianist] Bobby Timmons and [bassist] Jimmy Garrison, they both played with Coltrane. I was one of their mentors. My mentor was Dizzy Gillespie... . It's a continuum, is what it is." Percy Sr. and Arlethia Heath began the cycle. Jazz lovers, they owned records of all the '30s and '40s big bands. When Jimmy went away to school in Wilmington, N.C., at 14, his father sent him an alto sax. "At my size [5-foot-3], I was too small to play sports," Heath says. "After my father sent me that sax, that was it." Back in Philadelphia at age 21, he formed his own big band, whose members included Coltrane, Benny Golson and Ray Bryant. Charlie Parker used to sit in from time to time, and would sometimes borrow Heath's horn (Heath also played alto sax). Parker nicknamed Heath "Little Bird." But like many contemporaries, drug addiction derailed Heath's career. He served four years and five months in prison from 1955 to '59 for a drug-related transgression he's not willing to discuss just now. "It's all in the book," he says of his forthcoming memoir I Walked With the Giants, to be published by Temple University Press. But Heath does say: "That [drug] life will lead you straight to hell." Once out of prison, he stayed clean and met and married Mona, an art student at the Rhode Island School of Design. Over the years, he wrote more than 125 compositions, and in 1975 he formed the Heath Brothers. "Jimmy was always my main influence," says Albert "Tootie" Heath, via telephone from his home in Los Angeles. "He's helped me with composition and harmony... . Any question I had, he had an answer." At 71, Tootie Heath says, "I always tell Jimmy I want to be just like him when I grow up." Tootie and Jimmy will reunite next month for a New York gig. Sadly, their brother Percy, who earned acclaim as a member of the Modern Jazz Quartet, will not be there. He died of cancer last year at 81. "We miss Percy," Tootie Heath says, "but we understand things can't stay the same." And so the cycle continues. Jimmy Heath just finished recording Turn Up the Heath, which was produced by his son, percussionist James Mtume, who penned the blockbuster hit "Juicy Fruit" in the mid-'80s. Heath plans to do a hip-hop/big band record with his son and grandson, Faulu Mtume, who manages Philadelphia neo-soul singer Bilal. "That's three generations," Heath says proudly.

First, he has to d/l the Monday Michiru show that's up on the Dime right now.

Thurston Moore approved box??????

I went to see the world permier of The Philadelphia Four last night. That's Dave Burrell, Reggie Workman, Rashied and Muhmammad Ali. Great show. Anyway, they had copies of the new Dave Burrell cd entitled "Momentum" I've only listened to the whole cd once but my initial impression is that this is a very good release. It hits the stores Nov. 14th.

Yeah, right. It's from my daughter's school. Your daughter goes to school at the Philadelphia Country Club????

Has "One For John" ever made it to CD??

Wait a minute. Are you saying that they used the same tracks on both albums or that they recorded different versions of two of the songs???
