  1. Well that's "Rasputin's Stash" by Cody Hanson! (I cheated, I looked at the properties of the image and looked it up, there's a copy on ebay right now). Funk?
  2. I have the RELEASED material that is within this set, and it's very good. As good as the Black Lion lps were. . . . It will be a great set; I wish I could buy the previously unreleased material without having to rebuy the other. . .

    Good find Jim! I hadn't visited the site and discovered that!
  4. It's not humble pie.
  5. Hey, it's not proper English. . . as far as English are concerned. I lost all kinds of points for spelling. . . aeroplane. . . aluminium. . . honour. . . centre. . . . I learned to adapt, and then learned to adapt back three years later when I returned to the USA!
  6. That's when the reign officially begins, and he stops even TRYING to conceal the horns.
  7. Hmmmm. . . I can see where it would be fascinating, though my own bent is towards other fascinations! I haven't noticed (or "registered") "y'all guys," but I bet I do now that you've called it to my attention. "Yous guys" does stick out. . . . I never really noticed it in use "back east" when I lived in Ohio. . . but it does appear here and really stick out to my now Texan ears. And I have heard "all y'all" though mostly I've heard it as "all of y'all" which is even wilder in its way. When I was in Philly I used to say "gots" as in "Gots to go now." I got razzed big time for that in Africa, especially in Swaziland in a "British" boarding school, and eradicated it !
  8. BELLS: Ring, ring, ring. This and other "BELLS:" comments crack me up!
  9. Big time. . ..
  10. Yesterday I ordered Louis Armstrong in Scandinavia Volume 2 (Storyville) from Worlds Records. . . . It shipped yesterday, so maybe I'll have it in time for his birthday!

    Those sure are nice scans, thanks for posting them! Back cover scans are so cool.
  12. "y'all guys"? Never heard that. Hear lots of "northerners" saying "yous guys". . . . So glad you folk are "nailed" regarding Clem! Personally, I think it's a little more complicated than that.
  13. I remember a lot about Sound and Fury from 17, it fascinated me. I got more out of it rereading it in the 1980s though!
  14. Hell, I read it at 17 and it didn't kill me. . . .
  15. Appears to be three novels y'all: Light in August As I Lay Dying The Sound and the Fury Good stuff. . . . Source page: http://www2.oprah.com/obc_classic/featbook...asof_main.jhtml
  16. Lucky, we'll miss you more and more as time goes on!
  17. I've read a little Gay. . . didn't float my boat too high. Oh well. I'll try another at some point.
  18. I think it is worth assigning to college students. . . . Faulkner exposes them to a different style that is "ear opening" in its way, a different use of language. And the thematic material is also in its way different from a lot of other literature and worth exposing students to. I dug him when I was college age a lot, maybe was even influenced by his work somewhat.
  19. I don't know. . . tube reverberation is better than solid state or digital reverberation. . . . If it had tremolo, I'd say go for the Silvertone!
  20. You know I'd like to reread a number of Faulkner books, I'd like to have the time; I have so many books piled up to read. . . . And I'm supposed to be putting my time and effort elsewhere. I find I get more out of Faulkner as I gain life experience. That's not always true with some of the authors I've reread, but it has always been true of William.
  21. I hope ole William-tine Clemner is having a good laugh with this thread too! Have a break Allen, you're welcome.
  22. Well I do. It's more the way that he creates his own little world of words. Faulkner did that, even created his own little county. Rag on him, sure, he likes that. But he's smart and sassy and has a depth of his own. . . a depth that some other posters don't have. That's how I see it.
  23. Yes, this "gift" cd is very nice! Great collection of rareties, and the more contemporary stuff is also great! Got the Paramount Hot Dance Obscurities Volume Two, and the Edison Hot Dance Obscurities Volume Two as well. . . . And Kendall (they are both predominantly or completely Kendall remastered) does himself very proud.
