Hadn't heard Undercurrents by Bill Evans & Jim Hall in years and couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it this week! Made me feel so good!

The Reddit poster, simplehuman, is my nephew, it turns out! LOL!

Could be.

Yes!

Sorry, y'all! NOT ADT. ATR Magnetics! See what Google AI says about it. It's supposed to be something of quality between original master tapes that the recording engineer would have and high grade audiophile recordings. My nephew's image explaining it is too big to post here. I can ask him to resize it.

Thank you, jazzbo and Kevin, for your helpful responses! I will look further into what ADT means and post here what I find.

My nephew came upon ADT recordings when clearing out a storage facility and wishes to know if there is a market for them. I told him I would ask here and see if there is any interest. Dexter Gordon, One Flight Up Thelonious Monk, Monk's Dream Herbie Hancock, Takin' Off There are numbers for each one but I don't know what they mean. Numbers like 15IPS IEC R2 NEW He has the ADT equipment too. Please let me know if you have any information or better yet any interest in purchasing them and I can put the two of you in contact. He is not a member of this discussion group. Thank you!

Jack, did you ever know Sweet Pete?

Great music! Haven't stopped playing if for days! Note that cd 3 didn't have metadata, at least for me. Had to enter all info for iTunes and burning it to flac on my hard drive.

I am just glad no one suggested they start a Home Run Derby in the top of the 10th! About as half-baked!

I've never seen mayonnaise ON french fries, but in Belgian restaurants I see that pommes frites come with a container of mayo (aoli) on the side and you DIP one fry at a time into it. Just a little. It's not SPREAD over a pile of fries like ketchup. Maybe some places spread it over but I haven't seen that. I''m kinda surprised gumbo hasn't been mentioned. Wikipedia will usually says it's a soup or stew. I disagree. It's its own thing. I fix chicken soup, chicken stew, and chicken gumbo and they are all very different from one another. Well, chicken stew is closer to chicken gumbo than chicken soup is. But we call it chicken fricassee. Cajuns may state forcefully that gumbo has NO tomatoes in it. That's New Orleans style. I disagree with that too. I grew up in Vermilion parish which is one of the most Cajun parishes there is., Even when I went to school the cafeteria ladies fixed okra and shrimp gumbo and it DID have a little bit, not a lot, of tomato in it. It was definitely NOT a New Orleans recipe. I doubt those cafeteria ladies knew any New Orleans recipes! My mother used a little and so do I when I make it. How do you dress your hamburgers? I put ketchup on the bottom bun and mayo on the top bun. Lettuce and tomato and top of the patty. For steamed or boiled shrimp or crawfish a lot of Cajuns fix their own sauce at the table -- a mixture of ketchup, mayo, and worcestershire sauce. For oysters you vary that with a little bit of horseradish. Restaurants used to put all those ingredients on the table and you fixed your own sauce at the table. I don't know why but in English we don't say make something, we say fix something. But in French we DO say fait (make or do). Even in A Confederacy of Dunces, set in New Orleans, the characters say "Fix me a weenie" (Make me a hot dog) to the Lucky Dog representative. I guess it's both Cajun English and Yat.

I agree with Alan's remarks about her some time back. A much underrated jazz singer with a great voice and phrasing. We were lucky to have had her.

My all time favorite basketball player. It's good to know how respected he was.

Happy Happy!

Terrifying!
