  1. Would've fit in nicely on Younger Than Yesterday.
  2. Eddie Cantor John Scott Trotter Indiana Pacers
  3. Seems like a lot of cries for help lately. Hope that someone near you can give you that help and that you'll be able to help yourself.
  4. I'm glad you were wrong with that prediction. I'm sure you're glad too. I'm a big advocate of reverse psychology. You'll note that right after made my prediction, the Yanks started winning. I have that kind of power. I'm of the same philosophy. Say too much too soon and my team is jinxed.

  6. Once again, BillF skips over a post.
  7. Richard Denning Barbara Britton Mr. and Mrs. North
  8. Just checked out THIS CLIP which I don't think made it into the full length film - or perhaps it did and I was daydreaming . Anyway, it's a pretty good story on how Eddie acquired his D'Angelico Model A.
  9. Cherry Garcia Cherry Jones Don Cherry (Take your pick of at least three)
  10. Stephen Fry Hugh Laurie Pancho Villa
  11. I'd forgotten about this thread, but came upon it while doing a Tadd Dameron search. Interestingly in his amended liner notes to the Van Gelder remaster of Mating Call, Ira Gitler writes: "Actually I believe that this date was conceived as a quintet but I can't recall ever knowing who was projected as the other horn player."
  12. For some reason, I thought he had passed away about ten years ago.
  13. Farley Granger Robert Walker Johnnie Walker

  15. Thanks for the info. That tells me what I wanted to know.
  16. Does anyone here know if reissues from ArkivMusic are CDRs?
  17. Chuck Yeager Dean Jagger Dolly Dagger
  18. Birminham Quartet Anthology (Clanka Lanka) - LP 1 Interesting to read Charles Bridges - lead singer of the Famous Blue Jay Singers - saying in the liner notes: "(During the 1960's) ... we got into doing school assemblies." In late 1961/early 1962, they performed at an assembly at my high school in Wappingers Falls, N.Y. They were introduced as The Blue Jay Singers with no background information given. They sang gospel numbers and finished with an acappella version of "The Twist" to win over an auditorium of mostly middle class white kids - which they did. Some of my classmates thought they were The Blue Jays, a doo-wop group who'd just had a pop hit with "Lovers Island". I could hear that wasn't so, even if I had no idea that I was hearing a part of this country's (and the world's) history.
  19. Max Roach Beetle Bailey Butterfly McQueen
  20. Seems like Moms is trying to stir things up again. And he knows if the bait's out there, someone will go for it.
  21. Keith Oatley: Therefore Choose Picked up this novel in Canada last fall and just got around to reading it. It's primarily a novel of ideas, not something that usually grabs me. The ideas are ok - three individuals - two German and one English - who come together before WW 2, are separated by the war, and meet after the end of the war. Interesting concept, but unfortunately there's a lot of philosophical talk that doesn't ring true as dialogue. And the most interesting character - a free spirited Irish female psychiatrist - is dropped near the novel's conclusion. I expected more from this and didn't get it.
  22. Little Queenie Anthony Boy Sweet Little Sixteen
  23. Not presenting that as a definitive pecking order - just an illustration of of how interpretations can differ. Other more recent BAL programmes have recommended Brendel (22) and Pires (17). But what would a 'limey' programme know? In the end this all rapidly degenerates into angels dancing on heads of pins territory. Don't know about angels, but I find this kind of discussion useful. As an inexperienced clasical listener, I tend to look for comments and recommendations from posters whose tastes - even in other genres of music - tend to be similar to mine and then do my own listening. Eventually, my tastes and listening experiences will be my own, just as has occurred with other musics.
  24. I'm glad this film was made. Eddie Diehl deserves it. A couple of comments: I've heard Eddie play live a fair number of times and have heard him play stronger and more adventurously than on the two examples in this film - at least imo. And the questions asked by the interviewer seemed a bit narrow. I've spoken with Eddie several times and have always been impressed by his interests and intelligence. Some of that - not all - comes across in the film. I know that there's only so much that can be shown in an hour long film. But, as I say, I'm glad that the film was made, and I hope some good things come Eddie's way as a result of it. edit - many thanks to Mr. Fass for posting the link.
