Does foundation/grant money ever go to the right people? I guess some does, but ....

Hope you guys included a slice with my order.

VERY interesting stuff. Too much to digest in one reading. I'll be back.

Bittersweet feelings about the Yankee victory. I've been a Yankee fan since 1969 (waited until Mantle retired - I was always a Willie Mays fan & couldn't stand Mantle), and have been there through good and bad years since then. I lost my passion for watching baseball over the past couple of years with the emerging steroid/hgh/etc. scandals. The A-Rod thing this spring plus the news that 200 (or whatever) unnamed players also tested positive several years ago just turned me off to the game. I felt, whom can you trust not to be using? I didn't watch many games this season until early August, and then caught the fever to a degree. I wasn't going to watch game six last night, but my wife (who has little interest in baseball) said that I had to watch & she turned the game on. I watched a few innings, turned off the set in the middle of the fifth and went to sleep. When I woke up this morning I wasn't going to turn the TV on to see who won, but I finally did. I'm happy that the Yankees won, but I know their winning won't make a real difference in my life. I guess I've lost a lot of my passion for the game. I wonder if it will ever return.

Looking forward to hearing this. Thanks to Chuck for releasing it.

This makes more sense to me than just about anything else I've read in this thread.

David Fulmer's novel, Lost River

Gigi Gryce Giorgio Gaslini Georgia Gibbs

I do hope that these are legit releases. If not, I'm staying away.

It's on an album called "Etta James" on Chess. The LP before "Come a little closer" but it hasn't, as far as I know, been reissued. It's her best album, I reckon. She also does "God's song" and "Leave your hat on". If you find it on CD, let me know. MG I imagine you've heard Tell Mama, MG. That's my favorite E.J. album. Bought Etta James when it came out. Sounded like an attempt to appeal to the rock crowd to me - didn't like it & got rid of it back then. Different tastes.

I never heard his last name pronounced - only saw it printed. The Times obit confirmed what I thought was the correct pronounciation.

Welome. Hope you'll keep the posts coming.

Good one, Jeff!

Curtis Fuller: The Opener (BN/King Japan)

Stanley Turrentine: Look Out! (BN/King Japan)

Sonny Rollins Volume 2 (BN/King Japan)

Rest and recover, Tom.

Hope a recording happens. I'd buy one too.

A wonderful photographer. I never tire of looking at the images he captured. Thank you, sir.

Hope that the Rudd and Lacy Horos are in the works. Does anyone know if these are legitimate reissues?

Don Newcombe Sonny Rollins Nuke LaLoosh

Ginger Baker

Guess this is another joke, since Louis Hayes is the drummer on that record. Listened to my copy of Candy - Japanese King LP - through speakers and with headphones and couldn't hear anything that I'd call a squeak. Hope my ears aren't that bad - don't think they are.

Well, maybe you missed those posts... As far as I can see (& I may not be seeing very well this morning), this "There's a great reader out there "Run with the Hunted" with excerpts from novels, short stories and poetry. I'd usually pass on these kinds of things but its really good and a good intro to the poetry esp." was the only previous mention of Bukowski's poetry, and it only mentioned the poetry in passing.
