Have one of those too.

Deserved. Mr. Mitchell has kept the faith over a lot of years.

CD 2 - 2, 4, 6

Have it on CD - nice one.

I'm glad that Mariano was elected - not that there was any doubt about that. The fact that he was elected unanimously is only meaningful in the sense that a barrier has been broken. Others, who should have been unanimous choices, weren't. Perhaps now, when someone else who is a true all-time great comes along, he'll be elected unanimously too. Fwiw, I don't think that either Mussina or Schilling should be in the HoF - at least if I had a vote, I wouldn't vote for either. I do think that some of the baggage that Schilling carries affected the voting for him. I don't believe any of that should enter into the voting, but it probably does.

Tessa Hadley: The Past

Keep us posted. This might turn out to be a good story. Definitely interesting so far.

How's this? If you still can't see it, it's Max Roach: Chattahoochee Red.

The only Junior Wells I need in my collection

Jimmy Ford also plays on The Red Rodney Quintets (OJC) - the Broadway cuts. I think the first time I read his name was in an article on Cleanhead Vinson in Down Beat. I recall a photograph of Ford playing with Cleanhead, but that may just be a mistaken memory.
