  1. Actually D, nah. . . . I really enjoy not having a car, and that car was nearly impossible to find parts for THEN let alone now. What I wish I could still "drive" would be my 1974 BMW R90. I still have it. . .but unless I want a divorce I can't get it up and running. I just love motorcycles far more than any cars. Though this is not mine, mine looked like this once! Best machine I ever commandeered down a road.
  2. I've had this stuff for years and years. I don't spin them that often because I've found even better performances from collectors tapes! And there is so much to listen to, and increasingly for me less and less time. Lee has long ago fallen off my heaviest rotation list.
  3. I can see her dad, yes, but I can see her mom in her too.
  4. This is one that does me in.
  5. Whistling dixie thou art not.
  6. I love the guy. Genius, yes! And of course, "I understand."
  7. Everybody's idea of a "good movie" is different.
  8. I think he could pull it off. Would be a hoot of a movie to see if they manage to make it.
  9. There's just something about her, a charisma. I saw her in "Hackers" and told a friend of mine she was going to be a huge star. He thought I was nuts. Later he apologized.
  10. I think she's gorgeous. I really like the two Tomb Raider movies. As for her "charity stuff"---I don't think she orders all those cameras to follow her around! They're all over the place for the dollars they get for those cover photos. . . . Anyway, if you guys are tired of her that's fine with me!
  11. My first car was a 1964 Dodge 440 just like this! Paid 125 dollars for it.
  12. Mine had a detachable hardtop so it could look like this too. . . .
  13. At the end of the seventies, I had one of these for a few years. The only car I've ever had that made me forget about motorcycles. . . . Mine didn't look this pretty when I got my hands on it, wish it did!
  14. Saw lots of those Fiats in Addis Ababa 1966-1968---they were the taxis! I have one of these in my driveway, but sure doesn't look this nice:
  15. I recommend this one, on the excellent Uptown label:
  16. I've started grabbing these. I really like the "Surrealistic Pillow" remastering. "Comin' Back to Me" is one of my favorite musical moments of the mid-sixties. I love how the mood is introduced to this song right up front and how the arrangement (spontaneous perhaps) just sustains that throughout. Beautiful stuff. I feel this remastering really brings out the space and the delicacy of the original recording. I actually think this is a pretty good source recording. Texture and "room" are well displayed and there is still plenty of punch and ring to the electric sounds. The way the piano is recorded and placed on that one track for example is "just right" if you ask me. I've been enjoying listening to this music after a long time of not spinning it.
  17. That's interesting. . . but to my knowledge there WAS no mid-nineties reissue of either the Lateef or Gabor titles (there was a nice sounding K2 Japanese reissue of the Gabor later).
  18. Yes, "Belly of the Sun" is her best imo.
  19. Hmmm. . . that's funny because I like the newer stuff MORE. But that's me!
  20. Plenty o' drums and drummers! Looks good. Thanks for the headsup.
  21. A 10" twofer with Urbie Green and Lou Mecca.
  22. Organist http://www.robertwalter.com/home.php
  23. Amen. RIP Coretta.
  24. I think Vol. 3 and Vol. 4 have all the discographic/personnel information printed on the back card, and have covers. They're phenomenal reissues.
  25. My favorite. You'll dig.
