Fats Found! Fats Domino Found in New Orleans By Gina Serpe 44 minutes ago One of rock 'n' roll's chief architects has been rescued from the rubble of New Orleans. Fats Domino, who had been unaccounted for in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, was plucked from the flooded city by a helicopter late Thursday. He was reported to be in good condition. An APB went out for the musician and his family earlier in the day. The musician's niece, Checquoline Davis, posted a plea on Craigslist.com for information on her missing relatives, writing that Domino and his wife, Rosemary, and their children and grandchildren "didn't get out" of their New Orleans home. Her plea was one of thousands seeking information on missing friends and family on the site. The R&B legend had last been heard from on Sunday night, a day before the storm struck. During a phone call with longtime agent Al Embry, the 77-year-old performer insisted he would ride out the hurricane in his three-story home. It is not immediately known if Domino's family made it to safety. Domino's house was located in the city's 9th Ward, an area that is heavily flooded and littered with dead bodies. The singer and boogie-woogie pianist, born Antoine Domino, has sold over 110 million records in his nearly five-decade career highlighted by the jukebox staples "Blueberry Hill" and "Ain't That a Shame." The New Orleans music fixture's 1949 recording of "The Fat Man" is considered by some to be the first rock 'n' roll record, and Domino was among the inaugural group of inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. Another Hall of Famer, singer-songwriter Allen Toussaint, was listed among the missing, although Fox News reported that Toussaint may be among the 20,000-plus refugees seeking shelter in the Super Dome. With New Orleans a hub of jazz, blues and even rap, several musicians were impacted by the storm. Rapper Juvenile's home was destroyed and he says he has lost several friends. Soul Asylum frontman Dave Pirner, who was waiting out the storm in his native Minneapolis, told the Associated Press he still hadn't heard anything about the condition of his home and recording studio in the Crescent City. Pirner moved there seven years ago. Meanwhile, several high-powered denizens are rallying support. Master P, whose home was swamped and who hasn't been able to track down his uncle, father-in-law or sister-in-law, has announced the formation of a charity, Team Rescue, and is organizing a "Save Our Hood" concert and benefit album. Wynton Marsalis will play both NBC and BET's telethons in the coming days. Louisiana natives Tim McGraw and Harry Connick Jr. will also perform at the NBC event and have made public appeals for help. "I haven't slept in days," Connick says in a statement. "Although I now finally know that my immediate family in New Orleans is safe, I have not heard from many, many friends and other family members. "New Orleans is my essence, my soul, my muse, and I can only dream that one day she will recapture her glory. I will do everything within my power to make that happen and to help in any way I can to ease the suffering of my city, my people!"

What about the Hornets?? Where are they(and the Saints for that matter) going to play their home games?? The NBA wants to relocate them for at least part of the season. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2148442

Check out this article... 600+ Ellington albums! <edit> Update Ridley remembers his first encounter with Ellington's music—a 1951 radio broadcast of "In a Mellotone." A pre-adolescent Ridley immediately headed for Treegoobes Record Shop on Lancaster Avenue and purchased the 78. Today, he owns 611 Duke Ellington LPs plus 113 CDs never released on vinyl, and saw the band perform on about 25 occasions. http://citypaper.net/articles/042299/mus.ellington.shtml

She's adorable Jim.

Hmm... need to re-size that one. <Edit> re-sized and re-cropped

This folder has been inactive lately, so

I'm listening to a pretty cool radio interview that Moog did with, ahem, Terry Gross on Fresh Air right now.

One more thing... 8/27/72 is still available for download at gdlive.com. That goes for the shows from the forth coming Fillmore box as well..

EXCELLENT observation!!! And news too, though I know some get upset when the free stuff costs money. I hope most will be thrilled at the prospect of improved sound. I wonder if this means that the Sunshine Daydream DVD is closer to release. My understanding from friends who know Kesey & Babbs family members is that it was difficult to sync the video with audio as techinical difficulties with a generator at the time of the recording caused problems. (Maybe they just read the same interviews we've read too. ) Ken's death slowed down the project for a spell too. They have had an improved working copy which was shown in a few theaters last year (eek, maybe it was 2 years ago.) I've seen a "hush" copy of the DVD which is much cleaner than the one I've seen circulating on the net. About all that was left to do were menus and credits. As they've had the production work done for at least a year, perhaps that means they've been working with lawyers, the Dead and anyone else who needs to be worked with. I don't want to start rumors or get hopes up with this, but I think it is a good sign as the same thing happened with the Fillmore '69 run that is coming out in November. I think those shows were removed maybe as far back as last Jan. or Feb., so maybe sometime in 6 to 9 months we'll see a DVD and/or CD set. Again, maybe, I haven't heard anything otherwise. And sometimes the things I hear from people who know the people involved end up saying things that don't come true. Otherwise you all would have had the movie in your hands 4 years ago or more! It's high time they do it! Let's hope for the best. ← 8/27/72 is a multi-track recording. All of the multi-track recordings have been removed from the LMA. Multi-tracks are usually released by outside companies(Arista, Rhino, etc.) and the two tracks are released by GDM.

Have you heard the cd "Rumba Para Monk" by Jerry Gonzales & the Fort Apache Band??? Gonzales arranged a bunch of Monk tunes w/ a Latin rhythm/percussion sound. It works more often than not. "Bye-Ya" is a stand out for me.

Hard to believe that today marks 10 years.... Jerry, my friend, you've done it again, even in your silence the familiar pressure comes to bear, demanding I pull words from the air with only this morning and part of the afternoon to compose an ode worthy of one so particular about every turn of phrase, demanding it hit home in a thousand ways before making it his own, and this I can't do alone. Now that the singer is gone, where shall I go for the song? Without your melody and taste to lend an attitude of grace a lyric is an orphan thing, a hive with neither honey's taste nor power to truly sting. What choice have I but to dare and call your muse who thought to rest out of the thin blue air that out of the field of shared time, a line or two might chance to shine -- As ever when we called, in hope if not in words, the muse descends. How should she desert us now? Scars of battle on her brow, bedraggled feathers on her wings, and yet she sings, she sings! May she bear thee to thy rest, the ancient bower of flowers beyond the solitude of days, the tyranny of hours-- the wreath of shining laurel lie upon your shaggy head bestowing power to play the lyre to legions of the dead If some part of that music is heard in deepest dream, or on some breeze of Summer a snatch of golden theme, we'll know you live inside us with love that never parts our good old Jack O'Diamonds become the King of Hearts. I feel your silent laughter at sentiments so bold that dare to step across the line to tell what must be told, so I'll just say I love you, which I never said before and let it go at that old friend the rest you may ignore. ~Robert Hunter

Actually, Shaq and Eddie played together for 2 1/2 seasons in LA. Jones departure had more to do w/ the emergence of Kobe and the need for an outside shooter(Glen Rice) to run Phil Jackson's triangle offense. I think the Heat got rid of Eddie because his body is starting to show mileage of 11 NBA seasons.

http://www.dead.net/RobertHunterArchive/fi...l#anchor6780779 Ten years since old Jer kicked the bucket? Seems more like fifty. Nothing about his passing seems like "only yesterday," rather as long ago and faraway as my childhood. From the sublime to the vicious, everything that could be said has been said and said again. Yet, the essential mystery of who Jerry Garcia was remains. What can be said with fair assurance is that he was a source, an original way of seeing the world that agreed with others in a few broad and important outlines, but which in just as many other dimensions confounded all expectations. I wouldn't say he delighted, in any Whitmanian sense, in what appear to be his contradictions, nor that he had control of them; predictability was not his strong suit. Not even self predictability. He could be alarmingly kind in situations where kindness was the last response to be expected - and altogether gruff where sympathy seemed the more natural response. You could almost say he had weather rather than climate. Few would disagree that a key part of him remained isolated, unknown and unknowable. His art is the closest thing to an available roadmap of his singularities, amorphous clues, and clues only, to the nature of his true affections. Where he entered, he dominated, generally to his dismay. He knew he was not a leader, more a scout striking out in the wilderness of his intuitions, unwittingly summoning others to tag along through virtue of his magnetic personality and apparently deep sense of inner direction, but basically antipathetic to following or to being followed. Driving back and forth across the bay from Larkspur to San Franscisco on Workingman's Dead recording sessions, our conversations would range wide, or, sometimes, nothing would be said at all. I remember once we got to talking about directions. He professed to having none and inquired as to mine. "For the time being," I said, "I'm just following you following yourself." "Then we're both lost," he muttered. A persistent image I have of Jerry which seems strangely resonant with his coming and going: a brilliant sunny day on a boat bobbing above the abyss of Molokini where the floor of the ocean suddenly drops off a cliff and plunges to unknown depths, I watch him check his gear then sit on the edge of the boat and tumble over backwards into the water, which is clear to a depth of several hundred feet. I watch him dwindle in size as he descends further and further, spread eagle and motionless, until he is only a speck to the eye, then disappears altogether from view and there is no more Jerry, only ocean.

Why doesn't someone start a thread about how the Jazz world is a better place due to writings of Francis Davis? That will get him back

In honor of Jerry's birthday today I broke out the 2nd set of 2/27/69. The Mountains of the Moon > Dark Star gets me every time.

Sorry, Joe Dumars made the deal to bring in the final piece of the team half way through a bad season, Rasheed Wallace, not Larry Brown. Without Sheed, Detroit was not going anywhere. I don't have the figures but I am sure someone has the team record just before Sheed was brought in. Detroit was still a so so team at that time. ← Before the Rasheed trade they were 34-22. After the trade they went 20-6! And WHIPPED the Lakers in the NBA finals.

Forgot to add if you do the pre-order you get a bonus disc. I have no idea what's on it.

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! http://dead.net/merchandising/music/DECD291/

I saw McCoy play back in February. I arrived late to the show and ran up two flights of stairs to get to the auditorium. After I walked in I was met by an older gentleman who asked me if I knew where he could find the mens's room. It being my first time at this particular venue I shook my head and said,"I'm sorry I don't know where it is." Just then one of the ushers came over and showed the old man where to go. As he shuffled off I noticed that he was having a little trouble walking as if he had a hip or knee problem. It wasn't until I sat down at my seat that I realized that that old man I had been talking to was McCoy Tyner. He did seem a little frail now that I think about it. However once he got on stage he seemed to be fine. Very energetic and he played his ass off. When he came out to do his encore a little old lady came up to the stage. McCoy recognized her immediately and gave her a big hug. It turned out that the old woman was his first music teacher from elementary school. He told the audience that he had been had inspired by her playing to take up piano. She then told him that she wanted to play a song for him. She then sat down and played some out of this world stride piano. When she finished she stood up, grabbed the mic, and said,"Not bad for a 98 year old woman"!! The place went wild. I'll cherish the memory of that night forever. Be well McCoy.

Yes I did see his "sheet music". We were sitting about 10 feet away from the stage. It looked like a bunch of scribble. Like something that a 6 year old might bring home from school.
