  1. Just want to note that the stars on the walk of fame are purchased by the stars themselves. It's not some honor bestowed upon them by the city. Sort of takes the luster off it, doesn't it? Ahhh. Thanks for the information.
  2. Anyone has the Wonder Woman series - are they any good?
  3. Placed order for the disc. Would have missed this if not for the heads up. Thanks!
  4. All scenery or historical buildings as background, the latest being this: ...and in a couple of weeks this:
  5. Another possible cause. http://www.celsias.com/blog/2007/03/29/eur...ing-a-nosedive/ Looks like the likes of Monsanto have more than a hand in this, directly or indirectly...
  6. Love the milky taste of pine and cashew nuts. Macadamias, brazil nuts, almonds are fine by me. Love walnuts too but those sold in stores are very frequently mouldy. Eat them all raw and straight from the freezer. I'd add coconuts to the list but that's not a nut.
  7. Innocently walked into a Tower store and saw all these low priced RVG, Pacific Jazz and Capitol titles on the shelves (very rare occurrence). Needless to say they all went into the shopping bag: 1. Donald Byrd - Fuego 2. Lee Morgan - Sixth Sense 3. Lee Morgan - TomCat 4. Art Blakey - Mosaic 5. Leo Parker - Let Me Tell You About It 6. June Christy - June's Got Rhythm 7. Stan Kenton - Sophisticated Approach 8. Stan Kenton - Viva Kenton 9. Stan Kenton - Stage Door Swings 10. Nancy Wilson - Guess Who I Saw Today ~ and about another 15 titles - can't remember what.
  8. A few Fantasy discs for under $10: Elliot Lawrence - Swings Cohn And Kahn Don Patterson/Booker Ervin - Legends of Acid Jazz Eric Kloss - About Time Charles Kynard - Legends of Acid Jazz
  9. These guys are offering the set for $61 and a bit, as at 22/3/07. Not sure if it's a good deal and prices could change dramatically a few days later. I'm tempted to order it but will resist.
  10. Roland Kirk Atlantics/Warner. The Collectables reissues are generally a bit wanting. Fletcher Henderson - Decca/Columbia/Victor - the whole lot. Will contain some duplicates with the Mosaic Chu Berry but never mind. Further improved transfers of the complete recordings of King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band!
  11. Yeah! Dig all those.... McGriff's uptempo version of Stella By Starlight is a killer on The Main Squeeze. Also, one of my all time favorite of the McGriff/Sonny Lester teamups is his "I've Got A NEW Woman" The songs are short, but tight and full of fire. And the sound of the organ is killer on that one. Fly Dude is just one of his best albums period! Fly Dude just arrived in the mail...

    Bix Beiderbecke

    Thanks! I believe the same footage is also on this DVD?
  13. This, Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, should be the representative from India. A most magnificent building indeed.. http://www.answers.com/topic/sri-ranganath...emple-srirangam
  14. Jimmy Smith - Fantastic
  15. Pardon my borrowing smiley from elsewhere.....
  16. Latest additions: Charlie's Angels Season 2 Fantasy Island Season 1 Bewitched Season 3 No new TV series for me - get to see it all on cable TV.
  17. Up The sixth season is into the second voting round before final 12. One thing strikes me - This Idol show must carry a lot of weight. 3 contestants (2 Idol winners) have won "big" awards recently - 2 won grammies and another an oscar winner. The host Ryan Seacrest has also gotten his name on the Hollywood walk of fame....
  18. Got it over a year ago and haven't listened to a single disc. Gonna have a Condon Mob listening marathon this weekend.
  19. Joe Henderson - Milestone Years discs 1-4 Listening to this music for the third time in the past 3 weeks. Really good!
  20. Shot Mosaic an e-mail on an Impulse set and got the following reply: "Yeah, we've been playing with this onw ourselves!" Wonder what that means...
  21. From a personal finance website:
  22. 1/2 - 2/3 of net income. I earn third world wages and have to pay first world prices for my CDs. Whattado I'm a CD junkie unable to kick the habit.
  23. More Universal reprints(?) of Fantasy titles: Gene Ammons - Up Tight Gene Ammons - Legends of Acid Jazz Sonny Stitt - Legends of Acid Jazz Sonny Stitt - Legends of Acid Jazz, Low Flame Sonny Stitt - Night Letter Sonny Rollins - Don't Stop The Carnival Sonny Rollins - G Man Mose Allison - Greatest Hits
  24. Just placed an order - thanks!
