Collected Plays of Tennessee Williams. Reading "Spring Storm", which wasn't produced until the 1980's. A very interesting failure, but you can see Williams starting to put his writing together.

Holiday Baking Championship. I'm a sucker for this show, I watch reruns all the time.

The Original Reunion of the Glenn Miller Orchestra

Tom: The Unknown Tennessee Williams by Lyle Leverich

I'd take Evens too, vastly underrated. Belle is tainted by being a jerk, but he wouldn't be the first one in the HofF.

Cosmas or the Love of God by Pierre De Calan.

Sad news indeed, an enjoyable and good musician, I happen to dig Sun Goddess very much. RIP

Benny Goodman - St. Louis Blues.

Bumping an old thread is right! it even has Shawn (wonder what happened to him and if he's still in LA) and AfricaBrass in it. Haven't thought about PT in ages, though one of the best rock shows I ever went to was PT in Seattle, it was great. I'll have to take a listen to the new one to see what it's like. Still maintain that Signify is their best album, but maybe I'll revisit some and see what I think of them now. Erik, you were the first to talk about them here, it all seems ages ago.

The Gary McFarland Orchestra with Bill Evans. I love this one so much..

Echo and the Bunnymen: What Are You Going To Do With Your Life? With all the EATB that's being listinged to, it caused me to break out my all-time favorite Bunnymen album. I know some fans find it a dull one, but I love it to death.

+100,000,000 I love this one, it ends with a fantastic version of "Ocean Rain".

"More Than A Women" has such a great feel to it, he did a great job.

Saturday Night Fever Sound Track. Been loving this for 45 years!

Benny Goodman & Helen Forrest:The Original Recordings of 1940's

In one of those small towns just north of Napa. If you're into wine, it's wine heaven; where I live, we're surrounded by vineyards of Far Neinte, Mondavi and Opus One. Supposedly, the land is part of the best place in the world for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

1980s Music videos, the more weird, the better.

It was a searing high of 116 today. California is weather crazy right now. I was 115 yesterday, and it will be above 100 until Saturday. Ugh!

The Jazz Crusaders: Freedom Sound

Thanks for posting, I've been listening to this the past couple of days and it's very good.

Band of Horses: Infinite Arms

Continuing the tangent: Dylan's "Love and Theft" (famous also for being released on 9/11/2001) is one of his top five albums, a stone-cold classic.

I agree! It's become my favorite Chandler novel, it has so many layers of emotion to it, that with each read, I discover different things. Though, I can't seem to get the image of Jim Bouton as Terry Lennox out of my mind, Darn you Altman! (and I have an intense dislike of the movie).

The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler.

Anyone have thoughts on this one? Been listening to the Sacred Concerts lately and I've grown to appreciate them immensely: Duke Ellington: A Spiritual Biography
