Sonny Rollins was great. We even got to hear the unamplified sound of Sonny's horn at the beginning of the show. . . his mike was not working or not turned on or something. Sure didn't expect that bonus, the sound of Sonny's horn unamplified, in the air. Wonderful! He was in a great bouyant mood and the whole show just bounced. Bobby Broom was excellent. "Don't Stop the Carnival" never sounded so good to me. And then . . . for an encore. . . Sonny came out and sang the blues. He . . . sang the blues. I still don't really believe it. But he did, oh yes he did.

Monk. Nobody does it better.

Happy Birthday Alexander! Many happy returns!

It's a nice sounding album. Clem won't like it. He gives Willie Dixon (deserved) credit for one tune. Guess Willie is pretty successful at suing. A decided Chess vibe to quite a few tunes, and Bob has found a way to get his battered voice to belt out a bit more Howlin' Wolf tone. I like it.

I know. There are much better android choices these days. . . .

Many happy returns!

Been spending a lot of time on the internet looking at guitars just because. . .well. . . there's little else I felt like doing, have been a bit under the weather. I've seen some really interesting seventies guitars such as: the Walnut Fender Elite, and the Gibson S-1 in mahogany. The Walnut Elite is I bet a great guitar. . . with that hardtail and the walnut wood. An acquaintance of mine has one in Ash. . . it's heavy and full of tone and sustain, it's a magic strat in comparison to many others.

Lost. Yeah, the plot thickens. Then . . . The Unusuals. Nice episode.

Thanks, I'll keep an ear out. As much as I like the recordings of "Pousse Cafe" and "Secret Ellington," I bet I really like this one.

Nah. There's a market for these classic titles that go beyond me. . . . I'm just a leaf on the wind.

Don't be so afraid of 30! Happy Birthday and many more!

Many many more happy ones!

a gross episode I take it? Yes, their take on vampirism.

I'm going to buy it though, because Vol. 1 sounds so good. Best I've heard the material which is material I listen to often enough to warrant it. I'm totally fucking stupid I guess.

Fringe. EEEEWWWWW.

Don't forget the Horace Silver! I think that has the best cover myself.

Now that's an interesting idea. . . . Martian Time Slip is fantastic. Fantastic. I started reading a slim book written by Tessa B. Dick reminiscing about her ten years with Phil. Interesting.

Well, I'm 53 and started riding again after parking my bike for my wife 19 years ago. And I'm loving it, and I live in a city with pretty bad traffic. I'm just loving it. I've always liked riding bikes MORE than driving any car. Even my '64 Alfa Romeo Spyder. So. . . yeah, you can do it. You might like it. Especially if it isn't a bagger . . . I think with your past biking you'd just let the bagger park itself after a while. A Sportster, a Dyna, if you can handle the looks a Victory. . . I'm trying to buy American silly as it is, so I'd recommend those. I know what you mean about working on the bikes. I was actually sort of happy I left my headlamp on and ran my battery down last month. It was fun to do just the simple task of taking the seat off, getting the battery out, recharging it, etc. And it made me do a few other things. I even looked at my '74 R90/6, parked in the back of the garage, not running since 1988. . . though I said "Nah." I haven't had to do anything to the Fat Bob. I got it with an extended warranty that covers the first 30,000 miles services and nothing has gone wrong in a year and a half.

I should have gone to see Queenie Pie, but didn't. Girlfriend was going to go with me, but couldn't, and I didn't go by myself at the last minute. Anyone see it?

Adtually it's only a sequel as far as movies go. . . this book came before the Code. Great book. Better than the Code. Hope the movie's okay.
