And to my ears too. And as the live material seems easier to get to hear in some ways, I'd dig box after box from Columbia. . . .

As far as the ST set, I hear what Ray does. It's more pleasant to listen to other cd sources of this material, and I do! The later part of the set sounds just fine.

Cool! Thanks! I probably won't rebuy this (I found I had two copies of the Fresh Sounds of these. . . as you know) but that's good news for the future.

What's the deal on this label. Legitimate reissue of the two Everest lps? Or from the Spanish world of piratry?

And what a nice reissue that "Black Coffee" is (though there's no real need to upgrade if you happen to have, as I do also, the twofer UK cd that includes "Sea Shells"--that one sounds great).

Which means. . . it just got slower.

Many more happy ones!

Unless you can afford the Driskill!

Glad I could help! Maybe you could stay at the Days Inn!

Outside the Paramount, ye goode ole theater.

One of my very very very favorite places, the sort of garden courtroom of the restaurant Fonda San Miguel:

I literally looked out my office window and walked past the construction of this building every day as it was being built: The Bob Bullock Texas History Museum

For all my state government experience (21 plus years now) I've worked between five and six blocks from the Capitol building. Part of the new extension:

I didn't say I thought he was BETTER than Jo, but I think he has a dancing sort of style and views the kit in a Jones manner more so than many another. I really do like these Vanguards though---and take this coming from a former drummer!---I do feel they suffer from too much drum soloing and focus on the drums.

In a way I guess of all the contemporary gents on the thrones, Herlin Riley reminds me some of Jo.

I have this as two separate cds from Fresh Sounds. Of course, Papa Jo is in full command and swings like mad. I dig 'em!

I agree. They aren't supposed to be great movies, just eye candy and adreniline boosters. Unfortunately (?) I don't go to movies often enough to fit such things in my schedule anymore. I'd rather go see something that takes a shot at being something more and fails than go see something like this. I know this probably sounds like a putdown, but I don't mean it that way. It's not like I'm 'above junk'; I still read lot's of pure entertainment books, and my god, I've got surf music CDs on my shelves. I just don't bother when it comes to movies.* *Says the guy with the Indiana Jones trilogy on his shelf; go figure... ←

The Verve Vault download of "You and Lee" is highly recommended. It is a beautiful sounding digital clone of the former Japanes cd, complete with "POCN" on the cover image!

Went to yourmusic.com and bought the cd/dvd combo of Fats Waller "Centennial Edition" for my dad for Fathers' Day.

Dang, that Pete, he's one of those rare gentlemen AND scholars! -_-

The Sonny Simmons is running low too. Snagged me that and the new Lovano!

There was a Japanese 16 cd Lester Young edition of the lp set (I believe it's the same). Very limited number made and very expensive to find these days! I've only ever seen it on ebay for prices I could not imagine paying. . . .

Willie Cook. . . wow.
