The Spanish collection is okay sound wise. I think the Decca cds sound better, so if you're not that happy with those. . . . I'm happy enough with those. The Chronogical Classics disc from this period sound nice as well. There was a series of cds on Ambassador devoted to these Decca years. . . and . . .well I bet they're great. I never did buy them. I wish I had. . . there's material in those that aren't on cd elsewhere, just little bits.

I REALLY like that Ada Moore on Debut/OJC. You might dig it Rolf.

Ruta Maya coffee medium roast, dripped via a #2 cone and filter, using Ozarka spring water and some half and half. How I start Houston mornings (at home I used Brita filtered tap water).

No. Only cd appearances I'm aware of were on the Larry Young Mosaic.

And the cities are not equipted with the trucks to take care of the roads either. Double whammy!

Yup. One of the few holiday albums I actually like.

Yes, Da Bastads at Dusty have been selling that second one. . . I grabbed it a few weeks ago. Nice! I'd never heard that Stockholm before I don't think. Some interesting moments (like Eric picking Danny's cymbal back up and putting it in place backwards, Danny ending the whole thing all of a sudden for what reason? I can't tell).

I've really fallen under June's spell the last few years. It's good to see that Capitol has been putting her releases out slowly still. . . though I agree with another here that says that the import Capitol EMI twofer that contains "The Intimate Miss Christy" sounds better than the new McMastered Capitol cd.

There appears to be a box set collecting them all at a reduced price. . . .

I miss Chris too. He's shown me on and off the board many kindnesses. It would be great to have him back.

Shawn and impossible probably have things to contribute to this thread. (My guess? Not that positive.)

What beauty!

Somebody better get that Basie. Sublime!

Me too, I hope they can bring out a lot of unissued stuff!

I myself didn't hear anything wrong with the sound, quite the contrary. I think it's likely Chas was just pointing out its availability domestically.

Rachel, here's hoping the best for your "sis". . . ! Thanks for the prayers and thoughts folks. Danielle: this is an exciting time for you! I admire your positiveness and your discipline. You'll go far with those!

Y'all do know about all the zipped shows on MP3 at the speedingarrow right? Go to the first forum on this page for details on registering: http://www.speedingarrow.net/forum/index.php

Don't you dare Shawn! I lost one friend a few decades ago that literally did walk out into traffic, and I swear I won't lose another! It's going to get better, by inches, slowly but surely. (I keep telling myself the same thing too).

Stef, Way to be!

A little nervous. Back in Houston for tests . . . nervous to find good news about my wife's condition next week. Hoping. . .but it's really hard to hope thoroughly and convincingly. On top of that, the toad Governor wrote our agency out of the budget, dividing it between the agencies of two elected officials, and I'm not sure what is going to happen in the next two fiscal years.

A birthday toast!

Here's hoping for many more happy ones!

I've got both. . .and play the Hodges MORE. No easy choice, no wrong choice either.
