The last three are so primo! I've been enjoying the Baby Face lately myself, and the Miles session with Bird and Rollins is interesting, but the session with Rollins and Tommy Flanagan is an overlooked gem. Don't know the Rhyne. Let me know how you like the Leo Parker; as a sometimes baritone saxophonist, I've never checked out Leo's Blue Note albums because I dislike his Prestige recordings so much. Sounds like you had fun.
I did have a good time - both hanging with my friend and talking with Sally. It's a different deal, being in a store where the owner knows about the music and cares about it. I don't have that experience very often these days.
