My first thought when I read the thread title was that it was the dj.

He beat the Yanks a few weeks ago and was brilliant, congrats to a good pitcher. He's a very good pitcher, but when he beat the Yanks, he hit Suzuki, hit Jeter, and hit A-Rod and broke his hand. The Yanks never or very rarely retaliate for stuff like this. Don't understand that at all.

Probably no one would Know it, but "(What Did I Do To Be So) Black and Blue" would have worked well in that situation.

The only Mike Rowe I knew of - before this thread - was the the writer on blues who wrote Chicago Breakdown. Guess I live in a different world.

Hope he was fined a percentage of his salary.

I agree. But - without second guessing and disagreeing things would get boring around here. edit - I'm very happy that these sets are out there so that anyone who missed them the first or second time around can pick them up now.

1-0QA+19 sounds good to me, but that's a matter of taste. Can't imagine anyone considering Sightsong as a lesser title. I know you didn't comment specifically on that one. Doesn't make sense to me that they left that one off the box.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who used to spend an entire afternoon traveling from one record store to another, hunting for rare, oop cds, or just titles on a long "want list". I used to call them "CD safaris" - remember them, Kevin? Hell, I think I even met Kevin for the first time in the Boston Tower Records store, only to see him again an hour later in the other local Tower as we both rummaged through a stack of discounted Japanese BNs. During these quests, you'd inevitably see familiar faces of like-minded jazz fans, and run into local musicians, critics, and colorful characters. Sadly, those days are gone. I only go to one record store now, and that's Jacks. Everything's online, and mostly downloads. Oh well, I've still got my memories, as long as my memory holds out, that it. I have had many similar experiences and memories - and miss them too - but let's not forget that with this change comes new and different experiences. Twenty years ago I might have ran into familiar faces while record shopping; now I've made friends and talk about music on boards such as this - something that didn't exist twenty years ago. What was once a local experience has become, in many ways, international in scope. Not saying one is better than the other. It would be nice if both experiences still existed, but things change - for better, for worse, and for things twixt the two.

Hope no one lets Chris A. know about this.

The Cecil Taylor 2xLP they put out cost $110, so keep that in mind, too ... That's been on my mind all along.

Thanks for releasing the music and for keeping us in the know.

That album was my introduction to Earl Hooker. Later on, I found out that there was better Earl Hooker, but that one hooked (sorry for the bad pun) me for life.
