It's wonderful that your grandson is all right. He's lucky that he has someone like you to help him handle what's happened.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

:party: All the best to you on your birthday, Jack! :party:

Elliot Ness Chuck Nessa Rab's "Good Queen Bess"

Hoboken Saturday Night is a minor classic - not sure whether that's an oxymoron. Bought it when it was issued and have enjoyed it since then.

Looks like there'll be some good & interesting listening at the Nessa residence.

Richie Kamuca: Drop Me Off in Harlem (Concord)

Any Firesign Theatre fans around? I have a fair number of their albums - both by the group and and by individual members - but haven't listened to them in years. edit - Have no idea what I'd think of them now. Don't think I have any desire to listen.

Earl Weaver Monty Woolley Jean Shepherd

Geeshie Wiley: "Last Kind Word Blues" from The Best There Ever Was (Yazoo)

Fritz Lang Robert Siodmak Billy Wilder

Back atcha: Lou Brock Ricky Henderson Ty Cobb

Red Snapper: Paul Murphy at CBS w. Jimmy Lyons, Dewey Johnson, Karen Borca, Mary Anne Driscoll (Cadence) - recorde in 1982; released in 2003

Frank Howard Ted Kluszewski John Kruk

H.B.,W.D.!

Billy Bang Billy Banks Scrooge McDuck

Lonnie Johnson with Elmer Snowden: Blues, Ballads, and Jumpin' Jazz Vol. 2 (OBC) - recorded in 1960; released in 1994

My set is #1130, purchased almost four years ago. Even giving some slack for the numbering process, it doesn't appear that this set sold very well over the past few years - a shame.

A truism you can take to the bank: Never count on the Clippers.

The Chicago Jazz Fest had significant sponsorship from one of the major tobacco companies when that was still possible IIRC. Chuck and others will no doubt remember which one. And of course there was the Kool Jazz Fest in NYC. Phillip Morris used to sponsor blues fests in NYC.

Good to see that you're listening to music, and seem to be enjoying it, Larry.

Belated HB! :party:

I expected to see a smiley following those comments.
