Got that for something like $5-$7 from one of our board members.

Here's a fine tribute from the younger set.

Ah, what a day. RIP.

If it's anything like the MMFs, you just have to switch the belt to the 45 setting.

I set up this gig for NYC guitarist Amanda Monaco here in Austin at Space 12 (3121 E. 12th St.) for July 24. I hope some of you can attend.

Yeah pretty real, considering how freaked Dave got when Harvey went political. What a neat guy; I wish I could have met him.

From American Splendor and other comics to his jazz criticism and liner notes, I've long appreciated Mr. Pekar's work. It's too bad that he's left us, but there's a treasure trove to be uncovered in those file folders. Story here.

A fine one - should dig it out myself.

I can give you a general opinion on Music Hall turntables; I have an MMF-5 purchased in 2003 that I'm not all that happy with. I've had to reinstall / fool with the wiring to get it to ground properly, and have had belt problems. I don't think it's nearly as nice as the Regas that some folks I know have, so when the Music Hall craps out I'll definitely go with another brand.

I'll get it for you - PM me.

Did I miss this one? Me too :unsure: An understandable, but only-partially (if mostly) accurate perception. However, I think it sounds more like somebody who smoked too much dope and got too complacent about life in general. Musically & socially, Sir Paul seems to be missing a pair. Ringo is fine; I prefer Charlie Watts but they're both good drummers. I get more out of the Stones' music, but that's just me. [There's ol' Clifford, pissing in everybody's punch bowls again...]

Speaking of Dewey, and I'm sure this as been discussed before, but has anyone heard the session from 1968 (?) ostensibly cut for Blue Note with Joe McPhee and David Izenzon?

Happy Belated!

2 down, one castrated, and one to go.

I've never had that, or Open Aspects '82. Is the latter as interesting as the Arista?

Nice - I think I paid close to $20 for mine!

The band looks sweet - I'll have to get this. Thanks!

I used to work as an aide at a facility for the mentally challenged. There was one guy there who was a HUGE Marty Robbins fan. He always referred to Robbins as "Mister Spotlight". Nobody on the staff could figure out why. This guy was obsessed with "Mister Spotlight" in a way that only a mentally cahllenged person could be, if you get my drift. Finally, one day, he had pulled me into his room and been going on about "Mister Spotlight" for about five minutes non-stop, so I had to stop him and ask him, "Rufus, what the hell is this 'Mister Spotlight' thing all about?" Wellsir, Rufus didn't hesitate one second, He walked over to his stack of Marty Robbins records & one by one showed me the Columbia logo one each - front cover, back cover, even on the lables, every onw of the accompanied by an excited, "LOOK! SEE? MISTER SPOTLIGHT!!!!!!". Rufus was genuinely delighted that somebody had taken the time to actually give him an opportunity to explain himself, and as the years passed, I came to better appreciate how he felt. So as far as I'm concerned, it's a spotlight. Rufus made a believer out of me. Dig that story.

Enjoy... The Sexophone
