One of my favorite (pre-Verve) photos of Anita

Hmmm. . . that might punch holes in MY theory about Stanley Crouch. . . .

I have so far purchased and absorbed "Piquante," "Taurus" and "Europe." I like them! I'm going for more!

Be: Hope SOMETHING changes in that equation soon, if you want it to! Free: Yes, I don't know how those with kids do it. . . at all. My hat is off to them. Brad: I'm not really sure that there is a correlation with having more. . . even if I had considerably LESS I still would have less listening time! (I would NEED less, but still have less and be unsatisfied I think). Come on retirement! (Never thought I would really look forward to it, but I'm actually lusting for it!)

I KNOW the feeling! My problem has been compounded by having a laptop and really enjoying watching dvds on the sucker. . . .

How do you find time management working for you. . . music listening wise? As years go by. . . less or more time to listen? For me. . .it's less year by year, damnit. I'm hoping that sometime near the end of this decade that will change for the better; I'm hoping that I'll be able to work less hours (at least away from home) in the next decade.

Nah, seems to me he was just surprised at how long-lasting the gig turned out to be! Yeah, I thought I heard Hank say that too, SS!

I thought it was interesting that Reid Miles made a joke about probably it would have been best to charge more for Blue Note covers!

I won't rest til all the seventies Barney Wilen lps are on cd in affordable editions! (You believe that, don't you?)

John, No at that time I was very much a "son of a preacher man." I just carried the guilt around FOREVER. -_-

Very interesting and thanks for sharing. I guess my most honest answer in kind would be these four recordings: Wendesday Miles Thursday Miles Friday Miles Saturday Miles Those profoundly influenced my music listening from the first moment forward.

Yeah, I just noticed you may have meant that "Millenium." I bet that is an interesting book, as interesting as "Civilizations" is.

Yeah, I've had the Spanish version that is basically a TOCJ. Like the session. The RVG may sound better (your mileage may vary, I like RVGs) and should have an alternate as well. That's going to be good!

Interestingly enough, pages at amazon, oldies.com, J&R Music World also show that seventh (supposedly missing in earlier reports) tracks. Here's hoping!

My favorite.

She looks good in those gloves! They'll keep her dry! Too bad we don't get covers in the Mosaic set; there were some nice Verve ones!

I'm interested in hearing what RVG does with "Turning Point," "Let me Tell You About It" and most especially "Reach Out" (which I like).

Chris, no car at all. I know that should my wife have a car. . . I probably wouldn't have a wife. Worst imaginable driver. Panics. . . overthinks. . . hasn't got a lot of experience behind the wheel (hence, alive!) I love her to death, but everytime I knew she was driving somewhere I worried endlessly. Now if I were allowed a motorcycle (she won't allow me one, she's too paranoid of my safety on the road!) I'd have one, but a car. . . I don't care enough. I love being able to read and walk my way around on bus or foot. The occasional cab is still way cheaper than vehicle and upkeep and insurance. I've arranged my setup well!

I lived in Chicago for some years in the seventies. . . . I know Austin is not Chicago, it's a small city in comparison, and I worked hard to buy a house in a decent neighborhood on three major bus routes that lead to both my wife's and my workplace, that is within walking distance of a fancy supermarket and a big drugstore, etc. Planning paid off; eight years now without a car.

Well, I would still pay 70 dollars a month for use of CTA. I am determined to NOT buy a car and 70 dollars a month is very cheap for all one's transportation needs. When I stopped playing in bands and didn't need to haul my drums around I soon found over the next years that I did NOT need to DRIVE. My wife too does not drive (which is good because she is SCARY BAD behind the wheel).

Brad, I don't know which ones you need, but I would look in to yourmusic.com . . . at 6 dollars a disc they may have the metal spine still? (Anyone know?) An email may tell, and the price would be hard to beat!

Bought a new monthly bus pass. . . . Still cost only ten dollars.
