Alvin Dark Bill Black Midnight the Cat

Takin' Care of Business was recorded in May of 1960. Charlie Rouse joined Monk in November of 1958. So TCB is not actually pre-Monk Rouse.

One of the first jazz LPs I bought - in late 1962, iirc. Introduced me to Monk, Blue Mitchell, Cannonball, Bill Evans, Jimmy Heath, & Bobby Timmons, among others. Still have it.

Available on Bear Family. Plus, there's a Volume 2.

Rhymin' Simon Anthony Adverse Homer Simpson

Looks like we have reached a deadend street All I could come up so far is 'Dancing on the Ceiling' (Erroll Garner) Anybody has more? I came up with that one plus "One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor" (Paul Simon), but that was it. Maybe Jeff can bail us out.

An episode of Midsomer Murders - The Black Book Midsomer Murders is (along with several other English series) the visual equivalent of comfort food for me.

It has nothing at all to do with the date of the recording, but there are CDs and LPs I've gotten rid of because my ears couldn't tolerate the sound quality. I haven't done a count, but I would bet that there have been more post-1970 recordings in that group than pre-1970 recordings. Music always comes first, but if the sound quality intrudes too much, it's gone.

Rick Nelson Jimmy Ricks Slick Rick

Everything I've read states that he was born in 1936. Did the old sources have his birth year wrong?

Wim Wenders Chief Bender Leo Fender

David Peel & the Lower East Side Banana (Lowell Levinger) Donovan

Mirrored reflection

Lum Guffin: Walking Victrola (Flyright)

Buttons and Bows - Dinah Shore Button up Your Overcoat - Helen Kane Button Your Lip - Amos Milburn The Button Box Polka - Jimmy Sturr (a local guy) Button Box Fever - Jimmy Sturr And while I'm here, I want to give Jeff props for mentioning two of my favorite obscure songs in this thread - Dave Williams' "I Ate Up the Apple Tree" and The Insect Trust's version of Thomas Pynchon & Jeff Ogden's "The Eyes of a New York Woman".
