Good to know, Lon - thanks.
But y'know, I've been about halfway through the list in the link posted earlier and, though I've found a dozen or so albums I want that are still around, frankly I just wan't getting a hard on over them. Except the Gonsalves/Eldridge. So, "fuck it," I said to myself, and went off to order half a dozen South African items from a Jo'burg firm, for about $8 each, inc postage. Now THAT was exciting!
There are new David Newmans/Houston Persons/Jimmy Ponders/Maceo Parkers that I haven't been moved to order yet, as well.
Fails to find smiley for shrugging shoulders elegantly...

I totally know what you mean. I go through periods where I look at a bunch of cds and they don't excite me at all. A few months or a few years later and the opposite reaction might be inspired by the same list. Thank goodness for that for all of us too I say!
