I agree with jazzbo, Jeff. Give yourselves some time to adjust. You're doing good for him.

Yes! this is the one! from the credits and notes by John Capes "Sara Martin accompanied by Clarence Williams & His Orchestra: Joe "King" Oliver (cornet) Ed Allen (cornet) Ed Cuffee (trombone) Arville Harris (clarinet) Clarence Williams (piano) Cyrus St. Clair (brass bass) Long Island City, NY circa November 1928 Hole in the Wall (test) Hole in the Wall QRS R-7035 Don't You Turn Your Back on Me QRS R-7035 Death Sting Me Blues QRS R-7042 Sara Martin accompanied by Clarence Williams & His Orchestra: Joe "King" Oliver (cornet) Ed Cuffee (trombone) Clarence Williams (piano) Cyrus St. Clair (brass bass) Long Island City, NY circa December 1928 Mean Tight Mama QRS R-7043 Mistreating Man Blues QRS R-7042 Kitchen Man Blues QRS R-7043 Clarence Williams and His Orchestra Joe "King" Oliver (cornet) Ed Allen (cornet) Ed Cuffee (trombone) Arville Harris (clarinet) Benny Waters (clarinet, tenor sax) Clarence Williams (piano) Cyrus St. Clair (brass bass) Long Island City, NY circa December 1928 Beau-Koo-Jack QRS R-7044 Sister Kate QRS R-7044 Pane in the Glass test Pane in the Glass PM (Paramount? 12870) Singer Sara Martin (1884-1955) was a star performer in stage shows and a mainstay of the catalogue of Okeh records for whom she recorded over 120 titles between 1922 and 1927....Death Sting Me Blues, written by the singer herself, is a splendid if theatrical number in which King Oliver's plaintive responses provide a second voice.... Sara Martin was not to record again and in 1931 she turned her back on the blues and devoted her life to the church. At the time she recorded these numbers she was a fully mature artist and had she recorded nothing else would have been regarded as a major talent on the basis of these (QRS) recordings alone."

Yeah, I thought of Shirley Horn too! Is Allen going to name Doris Day? What a voice!

Overall, not essential, but there are a handful of them that I would hate to be without, like "Snag It," "Too Bad," "Jackass Blues," "Wa Wa Wa," and "Someday Sweetheart." Also wanted to point out that one of Oliver's best blues accompaniments is not on the Frog/Okeh CD mentioned by Chuck. It's Sara Martin's "Death Sting Me Blues," recorded for the QSR label in 1928. I have it on an old Milestone album, and it's on volume 4 of Martin's complete series on Document. Otherwise, it's going to be hard to find, except as a download. I had better check the credits again but I believe the Sara Martin Death Sting Me Blues is on a Clarence Williams Frog cd, QRS volume 2: http://www.frogrecords.co.uk/_pages/dgf49.htm Or if the Frog website is down again, there is this on Amazon: I picked up maybe 5 of these Frog cds in the past week or two.

I was going to post the same list! I thought Fats Waller was also great! And Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Ethel Waters, Clara Smith, and a bunch they call blues ladies.

Sometimes the entries in Wikipedia are not as interesting as what goes on "under the hood" in the Talk area for most articles, where you see the contributors debate and discuss how the article should read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Amiri_Baraka

Wonder if Braun's protest is going to soon look like Raphael Palmeiro's finger-wagging at Congress. Columbian District is more of a mid-sized market, according to this: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/articles/baseball_markets.shtml Markets of 5-10 million people -------------------------------------------------------- 7,608,070 Baltimore Orioles, Washington Nationals However this fails to take into account that while Washingtonians can and have rooted for Baltimore teams (football and baseball) in the past, Baltimore natives NEVER root for Washington teams. So in a sense Baltimore has a larger market than Washington. Believe it or not. Factor in our local sports reporters and radio personalities and their outspoken contempt for baseball in general and you've got to wonder. And Washington is not really a regional team the same way Boston is loved in much of New England and even the Maritime provinces of Canada. I remember watching Red Sox baseball in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia a few summers ago!

I don't know how the Marlins do it! Their attendance is not good. The Nationals have some incredibly wealthy owners. On the area discussion boards a lot of fans over the years have been saying they're cheap. I guess that kind of talk is going to be a thing of the past now that they have two big contracts (Werth and Zimmerman). I am cautiously optimistic for 2012. Hope Harper works out for later in the season. We need some hitters.

Ryan Zimmerman signs with Washington through 2019! Might make his whole career in DC.

Small world! I have known Randol's for years!

Maybe you're confusing a pressed CD with a CD-RW? CD-RW technology works with a combination of magnetism and laser light. Thanks Kevin! That's probably what I was thinking.

What restaurant? My sister lives in Lafayette. I grew up south, in Vermilion parish.

Always cover yourself with a disclaimer. I said a magnetic storm "the likes of which we have never seen before!" Hey, if people on this board can play fast and loose with the language as they are known to do, then beware! It goes both ways. I just know that an ordinary magnet can wipe out a cd, so it's vulnerable. An lp or other record is vulnerable to heat, but not magnetism as far as I know. And I never said Anon. could start a magnetic storm. But they certainly could hack a cloud. A cloud source is even vulnerable to the FBI, as we saw with Megaupload being disrupted. A cloud of data could be interrupted or destroyed without us all losing electric power, too. Doesn't keep me from buying cds and downloads, and used records when I can find them.

Get some Professor Longhair! And some Rebirth Brass Band. Or celebrate the Cajun way with Cajun music. Nathan Abshire with Dewey Balfa on vocal. http://npmusic.org/Nathan_Abshire_Mardi_Gras_Song.mp3

When some kind of magnetic storm the likes of which we have never seen before wipes out all information on our cds, and our Internet grid is wiped out or damaged in a future terrorist (or Anonymous) attack against our cloud hubs instead of the financial center of NY, vinyl and shellac records may be all we have.

Time is on my side. Yes it is.

rip Whitney. Seems to have already eclipsed tonight's loving tribute to Glen Campbell, a very deserving lifetime achievement award winner. Going away due to Alzheimer's disease. Can't find ANY discussion of him on boards about the Grammys.

It's just what James Madison probably meant when he said that in order to have a well-ordered militia, we should have the right to bear arms. Wonder how Scalia would argue this point. I would run away from home if I were the girl, before he puts a bullet through her head.

Let me guess. He has a firearm for self-defense.

But the people who need to hear this message will probably reply "Get off my lawn!" or tl;dw (too long, didn't watch). That's what passes for an utterly devastating rebuttal these days!

I think Manny killed Barney Quill on the Upper Peninsula! (Anatomy of a Murder). What an actor. Thanks, Mr. Ben! RIP

Actually it's "post-modern," which means it came after the "modern" period -- a period that spanned roughly from the end of the late Middle Ages until some time last year.

Clarence Williams and His Orchestra, Speakeasy Recorded August 1928, Long Island City, NY, Broadway 1347-B (heard in Joe Bussard's basement) Outstanding tuba again by Cyrus St. Clair, and a lot more of course! Red Hot Jazz Archive has this at http://www.redhotjazz.com/williamso.html

Google responds to privacy policy criticisms from the text of Wash Post: "use different accounts for different services, so that data is not shared between them. For example, use one Google account for your mail, another for YouTube and one more for Google+. Additionally, there are always the granular privacy changes you can make within some of the products." I don't use Calendar so I don't know, but maybe you could have a separate account for that? I am glad to learn that I can have separate YouTube accounts. I hope they will not force consolidation of those accounts in the future. I think the Post coverage was warranted. Electronic Frontier Foundation and EPIC (Electronic Privacy Information Center) were also concerned and are keeping an eye on this.

Good point! Worth more research. I looked at Slashdot for perspective and don't feel it's objective. Too many Google connections there. Worth looking into what the advocacy groups for privacy are reporting.
