The Tommy Flanders record is really quite good; much prefer it to those Blues Project sides anyway. Still need to get the Danny Kalb/Stefan Grossman duo on Cotillion...

A good source of BFT tracks: Paul Motian Trio - Dance - (ECM wlp) Great '78 date with David Izenzon and Charles Brackeen...

Hit-or-miss, like anybody else. I used to have the early Delmarks and at least one Black Saint, all of which I sold (the Delmarks needed condition upgrades that never actually happened). I've retained the double-vinyl duo with Don Moye on India Navigation, which I like.

And one I've always been fond of, Impressions of New York by Rolf & Joachim Kuhn.

Yeah, the dude was trying to spin some yarn about how BYG and America were the same label when I was in there once... obviously they should just stick to Tzadik.

So either they copied the stampers or plated 'em up here, right? (Apologies in advance to Chuck if I'm butchering the process)

Sure it's not "frumpy mama?" Nice to see you back. Manny's gonna by YOU lunch, I guess...

Jimmy Giuffre - The Easy Way - (Verve cheapo French reissue) great session, w/ Ray Brown & Jim Hall.

I think mine was $3.99!

The single-sleeve (and single LP) Japanese editions are pretty sweet-looking. Even those hover around like $40.

Lungfish - Rainbows from Atoms - (Dischord)

The Coctails - Here Now Today - (Hi-Ball orig)

And with less thread-baiting than Bagatellen, too...

Ugh. Way to waste a grand!

I still like "FUCK YOU CLOWN" the best...

Wow, I didn't know he was in dire straits. I wish him well. Commitment are a cool band - rather underground, even among those circles...

Norman Dello Joio - Fantasy and Variations - (RCA-Victor Red Seal mono) Leinsdorf/Hollander, one of my dad's favorites.

Sonic Youth - Bad Moon Rising - (Homestead orig) "Death Valley '69" never gets old...

Those records are so trashed, though... They should be about $5 apiece, which would make this auction way overpriced already!

Well, iirc it was a long downhill from a dam, straightaway. The road did have gravel on the sides, and of course we only wore our cycling caps... but nevertheless at the time it didn't feel too dangerous! Especially when you've got a small group of training buddies doing it with you...

Yeah, that was in another lifetime, when TonyM and I would have had more to talk about bikes and less about music!

Yeah, he's lookin' mighty hip!

That Crispell is really good. My roommate really wants the Derek Bailey/Min Tanaka, but of course, she doesn't have anything to trade!

I usually drive about 90 on the highway, have gotten around 110 in the passing lane but rarely is it necessary. On a road bicycle, topped out at about 62 mph.
