A lot of Michael Hurley's best recordings are out of print. One of his Rounder recordings remains in print - Snockgrass - http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=1003071 Not a bad intro, but Hurley's web site has a pretty complete collection of CDRs of his o/p recordings. http://www.snockonews.net/buy_stuff.htm I'd recommend Watertower as an excellent introduction to Michael Hurley's unique vision of the world. Whether you like him or not, Michael Hurley's music is REAL. Can't say that about a lot of music being made these days.

Linton Kwesi Johnson: Making History (Mango)

Alice Blue Gown Alice Roosevelt Longworth Grace Slick

And not at relevant to the T.A.M.I. show, but Quincy has always been quite complimentary of her skills. I'll take that one for what it's worth. Not much - at least imo.

Art Pepper + Eleven (Contemporary/Analogue Productions)

Allen Eager Big Star Linda Scott

Niney the Observer Mr. Peepers Wally Szczerbiak

Devil with the Devil - Hot Western Swing from the 1930's (Rambler - red vinyl)

Should point out that I meant the music on the album didn't stand well compared up to the list of names playing on it.

I used to have it & as I recall it looked better than it sounded.

I think that most of us take good health for granted until we don't have it. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us and best wishes for a continued recovery. The good attitude you have will no doubt help you along that path.

All the best!

Hard to choose, but Pres' solo on "I Must Have That Man" with Billie and Teddy Wilson in 1937 would be my choice.

Redd Foxx Peter Wolf Pat Hare

All the best to both of you!

I believe that this DVD is the same as the Rhapsody VHS: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=6787831&style=movie Plus you get a Sonny Rollins added to it.

Berwald: Symphonies Nos. 3 & 4; Piano Concerto in D Major - Okko Kanu/Helsingborg S.O./Niklas Sivelov (Naxos) Piron's New Orleans Orchestra (Retrieval) Brahms: Pino Trio No. 3; Schubert: Piano Trio No. 2 - Rubinstein/Szeryng/Fournier (RCA/BMG)

I know. In today's dollars, we're in the neighborhood of $12,000. Frankly, I'm not sure how we could afford this. I mean, we were solidly in the middle class, but by no means well-to-do. I know how much my Dad was making at the time, and this would have represented a substantial commitment. I guess it's an indication of how much he was into music. Ah, the good old days when people cared about music.
