Commercial Appeal Story

I believe that when Addison Farmer's death was reported in Down Beat that the cause of death was given as a reaction to aspirin and another medication. That was 48 years ago and I may be wrong about that. I couldn't find the Down Beat obituary online. Perhaps Larry or one of the Chicagoans has access to Down Beat's files and can confirm this or not.

I have that record and forgot he was on it. Thanks for the reminder.

Crazy Guggenheim Solomon Guggenheim Frank Lloyd Wright

He's on Archie Shepp's For Losers album. I used to have that one but don't anymore. Can't remember if C. Sharpe solos on it. I'm sure someone else can provide that information.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo: Umthombo Wamanzi (Shanachie)

Not his last role, but the last film I saw him in, was the "Quartier Latin" segment of Paris, je t'aime with Gena Rowlands. They played a married couple who were divorcing. I remember it as being very moving.

Hope "mama" is ok. Mama Said - The Shirelles Mama You've Been on My Mind - Bob Dylan Mama Tried - Merle Haggard Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean - Ruth Brown Tell Mama - Etta James Next: REASON

Saw/heard Doug and Duke in Copenhagen in 1980. Must be a good memory. Listening to his first recording, he played very well at 21 years of age. I haven't kept up with his recent playing. Perhaps I should do so.

Still on my Steeplechase kick: Introducing Doug Raney

I've been looking over his record catalog and he's had a fair number of recordings come out -new releases and reissues - over the past decade - a good thing. Though he's still got a long way to go til he hits Braxton territory.

"Irregardless"?? Probably just a fraudulent slip.
