  1. I plan on going the end of this week to listen to the collection myself.
  2. And if the MP3s are coded well, the music should sound fine. As John said, "Let's get it out, people!"
  3. I needed air one of my tires and was shocked to see it was going to cost me a dollar fifty. WTF? Is air free when you reside or do you have to pay at the stations?
  4. I'll take whatever we can get. This will probably be in MP3 format.
  5. RIP Mr. Davis. Thanks for the music.
  6. Has there been any progress in getting this music licensed for a possible release? It's been 6 years from when the National Jazz Museum of Harlem obtained these. I hope in my lifetime this will happen. A sample of the music. http://jazzmuseuminharlem.org/the-museum/collections/the-savory-collection/
  7. I didn't see the film, but Dick Gregory makes me not want to see it more.
  8. Happy Birthday, wherever you are.
  9. The Gene Harris Piano Jazz appearance.
  10. You ever wonder what the music of trees rings would sound like if you could play them on a turntable? We all know that the Lorax speaks for the trees, but what do they sound like when they speak for themselves? Rings on a tree can give information about the age of the tree, as well as indicate environmental conditions such as rain levels, disease, and even forest fire. Light colored rings indicate quick growth, while darker rings indicate times when the tree did not grow as quickly. Slices of trees are not uniform, and they all tell a story about the tree’s history. Bartholomäus Traubeck created equipment that would translate tree rings into music by playing them on a turntable. Rather than use a needle like a record, sensors gather information about the wood’s color and texture and use an algorithm that translates variations into piano notes. The breadth of variation between individual trees results in a individualized tune. The album, appropriately titled “Years,” features spruce, ash, oak, maple, alder, walnut, and beech trees. It is available to download now, though it will be available to purchase on vinyl in August. The end product of these arbor “records” is haunting and beautiful and you need to check it out. http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/what-do-tree-rings-sound-when-played-record/

  12. The original Lois Lane has died. I use to watch the Superman TV show in reruns. http://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/people/2016/07/05/lois-lane-actress-noel-neill-dies-95/86704354/ Noel Neill, the first woman to portray Superman's love interest Lois Lane on screen, has died at 95. She also starred in dozens of other projects.Video provided by Newsy Newslook (Photo: Stephen Lance Dennee, / Padukah Sun) TUCSON — The actress who was the first to play Superman's love interest, Lois Lane, on screen has died. Noel Neill was 95. Neill's biographer Larry Ward tells The Associated Press that she died Sunday, July 3, at her home in Tucson, Ariz., following a long illness. Neill first took on the role as the Daily Planet reporter in the Columbia movie serial “Superman” in 1948. She reprised the part alongside George Reeves in the TV series “Adventures of Superman” in 1952 (the show had debuted the previous year with Phyllis Coates in the role). Neill stayed on until the show ended in 1958.
  13. Sonny will always be the ling in my ears on the tenor. "Professor Paul" is the weakest track on the CD.
  14. Anyone that gets to 100 gets a Happy Birthday from me.
