Just watched the interview with Groucho. More like a Groucho soliloquy -which was fine with me.

Thanks for offering your take, brownie. I'm sure it's a good one.

Release date given on CD Universe is Tuesday, Oct. 10.

Happy Birthday!

Amos Garrett with a little help from Geoff Muldaur doing "Lazybones" on the Geoff & Maria Muldaur Pottery Pie LP

Roy Eldridge - That Warm Feeling session

Very belated birthday wishes - missed your b-day when it was happening. Hope you had a good one.

Miles & Gil - LP 2 Trying to keep track of what's what with all the alternate takes is confusing, but just listening to the music is great.

Happy Birthday! And don't worry - the Twins are too good to lose fast and easy. I say that as a Yankee fan who didn't want to see the Yanks play them in the first round.

Hope it's a great day!

Happy birthday, Mr. Dixon! Thank you for your music, and I hope that there are many more birthdays to celebrate in the future.

Johnny Hodges 1951-1955 - The Creamy session

Good one, brownie. That's a record that's generally overlooked when late Ben Webster recordings are considered.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. Seems like a tough nut to crack, but no doubt worth it once that happens. I'll probably try Fanfare & perhaps just go with suggestions & classical music listening posts done by Board members whose tastes in other musics are similar to mine - & mainly try to listen to whatever comes my way. Thanks once again.

Looking for a recommended guide to classical recordings. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).

Hitch was great on that.

I've had the LP since it came out, and to me it always seemed like it should have been a better record than it was. Sometimes a lot of good names don't always add up to good music. For me, the record's always seemed like a bit of a mish-mash. Just one man's opinion.

I heard him play in NYC in the late 80s - back when he was a still a youngster. He was a fine musician and, judging from the few minutes I spoke with him, a true gentleman. I'm glad that I had the chance to thank him then for his music.

A music DVD thread sounds about right.

Chuck, you're showing your age here! Could be, but Chuck was around when those "covers made under pressure" came out - and there were too many of them.

You Get More Bounce with Curtis Counce

10 favorite Black Saint records from the 70s (since I didn't list any Black Saints in my 70s favorites list - tho I could have): Muhal Richard Abrams/Malachi Favors: Sightsong Andrew Cyrille/Jeanne Lee/Jimmy Lyons: Nuba Julius Hemphill: Raw Materials and Residuals Leroy Jenkins: The Legend of Ai Glatson Steve Lacy/Roswell Rudd/Kent Carter/Beaver Harris: Trickles George Lewis: Homage to Charlie Parker Marcello Melis: New Village on the Left Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre: Peace and Blessings Old and New Dreams Max Roach/Anthony Braxton: Birth and Rebirth This stuff is getting to be fun, even if I am starting to feel like a Nick Hornby character.

A dozen favorite blues (& blues related) records from the 70s: James Booker: Junco Partner Joe Carter: Mean & Evil Blues Clifton Chenier: Bogalusa Boogie Fernest and the Thunders Johnny Fuller: Fuller's Blues Good Rockin' Charles Guitar Shorty: Alone in his Field Martin, Bogan & Armstrong Professor Longhair: Rock 'n' Roll Gumbo - This was originally released in the 70s, but the remixed, remastered Dancing Cat reissue from the 80s is the one to get - sounds like a different (& better) record. Snooky Pryor and the Country Blues The Raw Harmonica Blues of Charlie Sayles Tarheel Slim: No Time at All

I guess these aren't all that obscure, but they're not all that overplayed either, and I like them. The Ballad of John and Yoko - yeah, ok, it's Yoko, but it's still a good song. Don't Let Me Down Two of Us
