Got the book, but haven't broken into it yet. Looks like lots of interesting stuff, for sure. According to the book's 'liner notes', the CD includes: Jitterbug Waltz, Rahsaan (Bright Moments) Pursuit, McCoy Tyner (Atlantis) Ginseng People, Woody Shaw (Live: Vol 3) Antabus, Dexter (Nights at the Keystone Korner, Vol 1) Polka Dots & Moonbeams, Bill Evans (Last Waltz) Joy Spring, Stan Getz (The Dolphin) My Foolish Heart, Cedar Walton (Among Friends) In Walked Bud, Art Blakey (Keystone 3)

Put some JJJ on the music box and chill, OK? but.......having said that, it IS pretty messed up right now. They actually have a 'disclaimer' on the home page about the "performance issues".

Relax! It's a major revamp - its gonna be buggy.

That's an interesting lineup. Have you seen them? Yeah, Erik - earlier this year at Yoshi's. Pretty intense.......and since Cindy is married to Carlos Santana, he sat in on a few tunes, as well. They're playing SFJazz in June as Spectrum Road

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, CRAPOLA!! It's now $41.60 Waaaay outta my price range.

Medeski's been playing with the Tony Williams tribute band lately - also featuring Jack Bruce, Vernon Reid and Cindy Blackman.

PRICE DROP!! It's now $41.44 $41.31 :g For a savings of 0.5%, I'm all over it!

eMusic has the BB King Blues Club album.

REead the autopsy here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunshine_pop I think we now have our definition.

I wouldn't call Gerry & the Pacemakers "sunshine pop." As felser said, that was early British Invasion stuff. THIS might be considered "batshit sunshine" even though I do like the tune and Flo & Eddie went on to greater creative fame with FZ as well as their own careers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFlNxDGPlvA

Doesn't hurt having Fred Astaire introduce them. Batshit identity crisis! Happy Hippie? Beatnik? Brit Mod? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klYXLevbgq8

I'm honored! THANKS, Paul!

Hey, I'm approaching 5,000! That must be good for SOMEthing!

Both 50% off: Secret Agent AKA Danger Man: The Complete Collection - 18 disks, $49.49 The Prisoner: The Complete Series - 10 disks, $34.99

Love the double-neck! Definitely a little batshit.........for a Paul Simon tune.

PRICE DROP!! It's now $41.44

I found them on eMusic, too. Will definitely check them out.

That's a deal. I think it used to be about twice that much.

Right........I saw Susan performing in Austin a couple of years ago. She was good. Continental Drifters track, featuring Cowsill and ex-Bangles Vicki Peterson, and they also co-wrote it. Cowsill takes the vocal on the second verse. Group also includes ex-DB's Peter Holsapple (he and Cowsill were married), and ex-Dream Syndicate Mark Walton along with other very talented New Orleans musicians. The failure of this group to achieve popularity in the 90's shows how far gone the pop music industry is. Realize that this drifts continents away fro the Sunshine Pop string, but it shows what adorable little Susan Cowsill grew up into. Great tune! I never heard of this group - the individuals, yes - but not the group. Sounds Bangle-ish, but better. FWIW, the Bangles ARE back together and touring.

Going to see something tonight that FreeForAll will appreciate. SFJazz members event: Robin Eubanks Listening Party The Trombone In Jazz History Robin Eubanks has achieved a triple-crown reputation as a master performer (trombonist for the SFJAZZ Collective, Dave Holland), arranger (McCoy Tyner Big Band, Mingus Big Band) and educator. Robin will be playing recordings and sharing his insights on some of the legends of the trombone, including Kid Ory, J.J. Johnson, Slide Hampton, and Curtis Fuller.

I have it on order, but it hasn't arrived yet.

Happy, Happy!
