I hope it was more a persuasive nudge than a knock! I'm really quite peaceful, really, I am. Really!

I feel better now! By the way, I think all the dates sound really good, and I may like the realistic sound of the first two discs, the only private recordings, as much or better!

Not yet. Soon. Will be worth whatever the wait.

What, Cary gets thanked and I don't? Scandalous! Anyway you're right, Chatelet is mispelled in the source document.

"A discussion at work." He's working on becoming the next "Apprentice". . . ?

Mercy, Mercy, Me--The Art, Loves and Demons of Marvin Gaye. Michael Eric Dawson. 'Salright.

A little bit of both. Gettin' my diploma in each in a few more decades.

The Greatest JAzz Concert in the World is very good, very varied.

Mrjazzman, your grandfather? BIG

Many more happy ones!

15 years ago the singer songwriter I last worked with, the fantastic Deborah Holeman, had a G&L "strat" type guitar, and I LOVED to play that guitar, so much better than any contemporary Fender. It just felt good and sounded great!

I can tell it IS tough for Guy. . .

Lots of social satire and keen insight in things like "Bringing it all Back Home" through "Desire" if outright protest isn't as evident. I agree that his controlled early voice is just devestating. And the writing of things like "It's Alright Ma I'm Only Bleeding" is devestating too for me, just ruthless energy and imaging so dead on. I love the stuff with The Band, and think that Planet Waves is one of my favorite albums, and Blood on the Tracks is a tremendously mature work. I sort of quit getting excited about then, but I'm getting excited again listening to some SACD reissues and some boots.

I find I'm most enjoying the final trios. . . . I'd say "Consecration" if I could slip in a whole box set as a favorite! I'm enjoying those Elektras reissued on Blue Note, "Paris Concerts."

Not that thrilled about most of the others but the Andrew Hills will be great to see, and the Sheila Jordan I've heard good things about! Thanks for sharing.

Jazz Kat. . . you do know the crowd was "imaginary" on the Presents lp recorded at Nola's Penthouse Studio. . . right?

John, I'll get you what I have either in email or via mail if you want to pm me your address.

So much cheaper to buy than the lp album! Saw that ridiculously expesively priced a few years ago.

Okay. . . well now you're just showing off!

I don't know. . . I don't care about that. . . the Ayler sounds wonderful on two channel audio.

I guess I'm weird. . . I like all of that set, and "It Can Only Happen with You" is probably my favorite part. I hate Xmas music. I really LIKE "Merry Ole Soul," it and the Marcus Roberts' cd "Prayer for Peace" are the only ones I'll listen too. "Merry Ole Soul" is really really good.

Innervisions is the one. No bout a doubt it.

Just ordered the Sun Ra. . . how could I resist>?

www.espdisk.com http://www.espdisk.com/esp4002.html is the Sun Ra Volume Three. I have the Ayler and it is great, the material had been out before on the Ayler Tree.
