Heinlein had some great science fiction ideas and pushed the medium forward with his drive and vision. He also helped out a number of other less successful writers I believe with cash when desperately needed; I know he did so for Philip K. Dick on more than one occasion. I actually enjoyed reading a few of his books a few years ago that I had not before (Friday, Number of the Beast). . . .Wild late in life stuff full of sex drive and playing around with the "smells and sights" of the genre. When I was reading the genre though I liked more however a different type of writer, the Dick, Pohl and Cornbluth and Varley type. . . whatever that is!

You could look for the 1989 as well. . . the "Limited Edition" Collectors Choice release is simply a repressing of that original cd release. I haven't seen a copy in some time. . . sold my own copy a while back.

Hey, anyone know the address of The Red Rooster club in Philly where this historic meeting of Trane and Tyner occurred? I ask because. . . I lived at the corner of Baldwin and Summerset (I think I have that spelled right and that it is the right street corner) from 1957 to 1966 and on the other corner of the same side of the street was a bar, The Red Rooster. . . .!

Yes, I know what you mean! The good news is that almost all of it has shown up on individual cd releases over the digital years. . . .

In print there is really only ONE Hendrix box set of any official nature. There were a few others ("Stages" and "Lifeline") from Reprise that have been out of print for some time. This is the one RT and Sal and I are discussing:

Brad, there was a 16 cd box set released in small numbers in Japan in I think the early nineties that was a collection of nearly all the live Pres performances known til then. This box set was a cd edition of a previous 22 lp set.

Wonderful music indeed! After all. . . it's the President!

Available on Blue Moon cd for about five or six years.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set. This is really a well put together box set for the Hendrix fanatic. . . it presents a lot of music officially for the first time, the sound is excellent, the notes are good with photos never before seen. In all important ways this was carefully put together.

"I don't know what you're talking about Larry, I don't think I look like Neil Diamond AT ALL!"

I like all the Hill cds mentioned on this thread. If you dug "Dusk" I believe that you'll find a way to get into "A Beautiful Day" and it's worth the effort. . . .

I have an imac at home, and use PCs at work. Each have their advantages and disadvantages. I really enjoy the imac, it may be partly because I do FUN stuff on the imac like make covers for cdrs, surf the net, write a few things, etc. AND NOT WORK STUFF. The imac seems more relaxing. . . but again, it may be because I'm not WORKING AT WORK with it. My wife uses Macs at work and at home, and if we were to buy an additional machine at home, or replace this one. . . it would be a Mac, she probably wouldn't consider a PC and she would win the election over choices. . . she has more votes than I do.

No comment! Okay comment: I don't think it's true. . . despite Ken Burns. His mother traveled to see him perform on more than several occasions if I remember correctly from the Evans book, and this myth about the unopened records is another that I think Sudhalter didn't verify that Evans later found to be romantic BS. . . .

I'm for it. I imagine some others may have pm'd him directly? I'm about to do so.

But I'm not sure that story is TRUE! His mother was supportive of his music.

I understand the economics, and would even pay Connoisseur prices. . .to have them remastered by RVG rather than Ron McMaster. . . .

I'll get them all eventually. . . to replace copies I have. . .but I wish they were RVGs!

I like all the Sal I've ever heard a lot. As Larry says he was a special player. I have some material not out on cd as far as I can tell live in an LA club that I really like as well as most anything. Nistico playing "Lester Leaps In" is a blast!

Happy Birthday Bill and Jim!

Bill is okay. I'm not sure he'll return any time soon to internet posting, but I've struggled to get news of him over the last year with some success, he's contacted some of us recently and he's doing well. Happy Birthday Bill!

YES, I have ordered through Berkshire Records Outlet for years.

Man this page could BE a Steven Wright corner! http://www.weather.net/zarg/ZarPages/stevenWright.html

I'll have to take a look this weekend. . . . I don't believe there are any specific traditional tunes involved, I remember it as all Mary's writing. It's been while since I've had these spinning. . . .

Voices. Oh boy. . . voices.

Wow, that post doesn't make too much sense in context but. . .what about olive oil?
