Peter, I take you're going to be around at that time? ← ← Yeah, I'll be here. I've got some friends visiting from Phoenix that weekend. So more than likely we will be in Manhattan.

My guess is you would make NYC if it wasn't on a Sunday?

Peter, I take you're going to be around at that time?

That Rick Warren dude made a surprise appearance as well.

I see she was on Oprah today.

Oh, hell yes.

You lucky devil.

No shit. My guess is the B.J. was the calming agent. I didn't read the book so maybe she explains it, but I want to know, how the hell she pulled out books, drugs, and lifted her top all while being tied up? Sounds like some bullshit.

Nice, real nice.

Looks like 23 are in, so far. I plan on mailing out late this week or early next week. I have a Tuesday meeting out of town, so I'm hoping to get out before that. I doubt much discussion time will be needed.

I've never heard it. With that lineup I doubt you can go too wrong. It's a backordered item at cduniverse and sells for $38.39.

I love a good Oktoberfest and am happy as hell to be in NYC this year. Satisfy your inner German lush on Sunday, Oct. 2 at the New York City Oktoberfest on Lexington Avenue between 42nd and 57th streets. Along with more lagers than you could ever imagine, you can get all the bratwurst, pretzels and whole chickens that your heart desires. After a few drinks, you won’t even remember donning the lederhosen and clog dancing up on that bar with Klaus. Anyone have plans to drink a few at your local fest?

Big Daddy Kane, talk about a flashback. "It's a Big Daddy Thing"

We lost him to the upgrades.

Don't get all technical on me. You knew what I meant.

Oh great, give me more reasons to miss having the guy here.

Nope--still alive at 73. Barbara Feldon "Dead or Alive Info" Page ← ← I'm glad she is still around. A fine looking lady. I would have never guessed she was 73.

Most impressive.

What a bummer. "Get Smart" was a classic show. R.I.P., Max. "MIssed it By That Much"

Okay, here goes disc 2. 1. Bassist is tearing it up. Tune seems somewhat familiar but I can't place it. Can't place piano either. Maybe Sonny Clark? 2. I do believe this to be "Turnpike". Clifford Brown is burning through it, with the eminent J.J., and Jimmy Heath. Great stuff! 3. Definitely from the earlier days. No real guesses. 4. Nice one here. 5. Interesting. I really started to dig when the trumpet kicked in. I don't know how much of this I would listen to on a regular basis, but this tune was kickin' okay. Charlie Rouse on tenor? 6. Crazy! I can't remember hearing this. I suppose the baritone is Cecil Payne and maybe Pepper Adams. 7. Love it! Here is more Clifford this time doing track 5 from this. Timeless! 8. Nice trumpet, nice tenor. Cedar Walton on piano? 9. Not much for the finger snapping, unless it's me doing it. Crap, who is the tenor? This one grew on me. Liked it just fine. 10. I need to be a little sharper with the vibes. This one is okay with me. I've got no clue on the players, no doubt I should. 11. Harold Land, no? Harold Land, yes. Unless I'm missing it, it's not rfom any of the Land leader dates I have. Can't place thr trumpet. 12. Piano is maybe, Tyner or Walton. I really don't know, but I'm into it. 13. Somebody doing solo bass on what I think is "Foxy Lady". Maybe, it's Bill himself? Again, thanks for including me. A most enjoyable set of BFTs.

Keep trying.

Say what?

Seem to be issues here - way beyond music. ← I was thinking the same thing, go figure.

Beautiful!
