    'Bout time! I couldn't believe their attitude when I was there. The person "guarding" the door back then was pretty adamant that they were only a recording studio. The attitude gave the impression that they wished that Abbey Road wasn't even recorded there... as if they would have still been in business if they hadn't done it.

    The thing about Jimmy Scott that always catches me off guard when I hear him on the radio is that I almost always wonder what female singer is singing until I see his name pop up on the display. He sings in such a high register for a male singer it's uncanny how close he comes to the pitch of many female singers.

    That was live when I went. Me & my wife got a picture with us crossing... unfortunately, I cannot find that picture anywhere. It was at a time when the world was between film developing and digital photography and I wonder if it got lost in that shuffle. FWIW, be careful if you try to get that picture. Cars fly up that road.

    Interesting that they do this when the Abbey Road studio won't even consider opening a gift shop there. In fact, when I went about 25 years ago, they wouldn't even let you into the building. You walked up to the door and there was sign saying something like "This is a working studio. No visitors allowed". It should have said, "We know you want to spend some money, but we don't want it."

    Nick Brignola - Northern Lights (Discovery). I'm spinning this to needle drop it for my digital library. As I spin it again - it's been a long while - I'm realizing that it's not one of Nick's best dates.

    Some clarity on Kiyoshi's sudden passing: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-yuka-after-kiyoshis-passing

    The AAJ forums were taken down a long time ago.

    This was posted on Facebook with the following caption: Lou Donaldson with Herman Foster, John Webber and Larry Johnson (?) at George Jazzcafé in Arnhem, The Netherlands, October 23, 1988. Photo by Joop van Osch That's a very young John Webber on bass. In 1988, he would've been 23. I actually didn't know he was playing professionally that long ago.

    I have read that Kiyoshi's death was sudden and unexpected. Ken Peplowski's cancer was in remission. It has been reported that Ken suffered a heart attack and died in his sleep. Chemo does stress one's heart, so having a heart attack is not really "unexpected". It is a possibility which unfortunately happened to Ken.

    Do you have any great stories about his playing days? We'd love to hear them.

    Muscle relaxers don't typically work for facet joint/nerve pinches. Be very careful here. I had a coworker who woke up like you and he pushed through for a day. The next day, he had to call an ambulance and be rushed to the hospital for immediate back surgery. He had ruptured a disc and came close to doing some permanent damage doing it the way he did.

    Another thing - the flu hits so much harder the older you get. I've been very sick for almost 5 days now. I used to be one of those people who got really sick for one day and then I was back at it. Used to drive my wife crazy that I got over colds/flu so quickly. Of course, maybe I should give the current strain of Influenza A some credit here?

    I assume you re-did the woofer foam surrounds? Even if they look good, if they are original they are likely not working as they should. I once had a friend say that his woofer surrounds were fine but when he lightly touched one, it crumbled before his eyes. After re-foaming, they sounded great.
