Just being ironic, Alex... Actually, I would think that it would be the other way around. The museum would sue *him* for the worth of the vases and take him for every penny... You know: "You break it, you bought it..."

If this had happened in the states, the guy probably would have sued the museum.

You mean besides "Ricki Don't Lose That Number"?

Sorry I didn't check in earlier, folks, but a trial has kept me underwater all week and will into next week--and, sadly, over the weekend as well. I really wanted to make this gig, but it wasn't in the cards. I'll watch this space for the next Baker's gig--hope you all have a good time "Clap[pin] Yo' Hands"!!!

Ya think? Is there one more I can't recall?

Day 25...

And more rain...

24th day in a row of rain in Seattle. Why did I move here?

Oh yeah--previously, Kenny Dorham, "Trompeta Toccata" Blue/white liberty as well. Does it _get_ any better than Mamacita?

Lee Morgan, "The Gigolo" Blue/White Liberty. What a terrific record! Lee and Wayne are on FIRE on this one!

Almost missed the party! Happy birthday, Patricia, and many many more! Cheers! PJ

Good luck to you, Tim--I don't live out east any longer, but it's nice to see anything that can help spread the music!

Happy birthday, 7/4!

Descent into Philadelphia from San Jose, Costa Rica. Came in from the north, along the Delaware river, and got caught in the jetwash of a DC-10 that we were too close to. The plane banked to the left (where I was sitting at the window seat), so I was looking straight down at the Delaware, and suddenly dropped--I don't know, 100, 200 feet? I was scared shitless, thought it was over...and thanks to that, often use valium when I fly!

Happy birthday, Jeff! I miss you, my friend! Cheers, PJ

First record in 2006: Lee Morgan, Cornbread. (my attempt to make 2006 a wee bit better than 2005!) Cheers, mates!

Dexter Gordon - Go NY USA stereo--wiiiiiiide separation!

I have a copy on order...perhaps someone who has a contact can point her to this thread? It would be interesting to engage in dialogue with her, if she's interested...

A quiet dinner at a restaurant a block away with three friends at nine o'clock; Back to the apartment for plenty o' red wine, old vinyl, and watching the fireworks from the deck. What could be better? Happy new year!

Art Blakey, self titled (a/k/a "Moanin'") 47 w 63rd mono. One of my most prized records!

I think I'm going to be able to make this work. There are some good deals on northwest airlines right now. A few questions--who's got info about the following: 1) I know less than nothing about Detroit. Should I stay near Baker's? Alternatively, where should I stay? 2) To/from the airport: rent a car vs. public transportation 3) RECORD SHOPPING, of course 4) Who else from the board is goin' to the hit? Interested in dinner? Breakfast the next day? Post or PM with any info ya got! Thanks!

I did--twice! Lucky bastid!

Cool site! SS1, did you add yourself to the "register" (pun intended)?

Ho hum, another boring month in New York...McLean, Shorter, Henderson, Lateef...been there, done that...
