  1. Rickles got away with a lot of stuff that no one else could get away with. I saw him take some nasty shots at people in the audience and everyone laughed, including the targets. I always thought that it was because he looked like a sort of ugly looking gnome that people cut him so much slack, but there was more to it than that. Perhaps he said things that other people wanted to say but wouldn't dare say.
  2. Duke Jordan: Flight to Japan (Steeplechase) Probably not essential, but it contains a beautiful version of "I Can't Get Started".
  3. Happy Birthday to a Great Guy who's given a lot to these Forums and to the world of music
  4. No thanks. I heard too much of that stuff back in the day. No reason to relive it.
  5. Little Willie Littlefield Volume 1 (Ace 10" LP)
  6. Paul Smoker: Alone (Sound Aspects)
  7. Curtis Jones: Blues and Trouble (Oldie Blues) Posted this in the wrong forum and moved it here.
  8. Wolfman Jack Jack the Ripper Jack Tripper
  9. Ann Cole: Got My Mojo Working (Krazy Kat) - The woman who recorded "Mojo" before Muddy Waters and "Easy Baby" before Magic Sam. Interesting coincidence - I was listening to a Paul Gayton compilation earlier and one of the tracks has a backing vocal group, the Coleman Brothers on it. While reading the liners for this LP, I found that Ann Cole's (born Cynthia Coleman) uncles were the leaders of the Coleman Brothers, who were mainly known as a gospel group. I learn something new every day - at the very least, I try to.
  10. Annie Oakley Calamity Jane Bonnie Parker
  11. Sidney Greenstreet Peter Lorre Mary Astor
  12. Buell Neidlinger: Swingrass '83 (Antilles)
  13. Lenny Dykstra - "Nails" The Little Dutch Boy Johannes Vermeer
  14. Rocky Bullwinkle Boris Badenov
  15. I wouldn't lay the changes in his playing on rhythm sections. Art Pepper recorded with Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe; and with Wynton Kelly, Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb. Also with Carl Perkins, Hampton Hawes, and Frank Butler in his earlier years. I wouldn't categorize any of these people as musicians with a "more mellow west coast sound".
  16. Paul Gayton & Annie Laurie: Creole Gal (Route 66) Note to Hank Mobley collectors - Hank appears on one track here. Unfortunately, no solo.
  17. Johnny Shines & Robert Lockwood: Dust My Broom (Flyright)
  18. Ornette Coleman: Who's Crazy 2 (Atmosphere)
  19. Dean Wormer Bluto D-Day
  20. Linton Kwesi Johnson: Bass Culture (Mango)
  21. Rubber Ducky Ernie Kovacs Muriel Spark
  22. Isn't it Venn diagram? (My wife used to teach that to her first grade students.) Or am I missing a pun? I've been know to do that. (Sinatra did everything in a big way, so his diagram would be Venner?)
  23. A friend sent me this link: http://www.historyofrnb.net/1940s.html Volume one contains the music that was played on jukeboxes in five Mississippi taverns in September, 1941. Interesting to me in that much of it isn't what I expected it would be. The following volumes just contain music that was chosen by someone today, but volume one is the real deal.
  24. Norm Cash Horace Silver Penny Marshall
  25. The name may not be familiar, but chances are you've seen her many times: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/17/movies/madeleine-lebeau-casablanca-actress-dies-at-92.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fobituaries&action=click&contentCollection=obituaries&region=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=2&pgtype=sectionfront&_r=0
