Big Al Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) I'd sent the Mosaic e-mail to my wife as a subtle hint of what I wanted for Father's Day: either the Turrentine box or the Parlan box, preferably both to save on shipping. Today, I went home for lunch and on my doorstep is a DHL box from Mosaic!!! Now, my wife does not know I went home for lunch, and I'm not gonna tell her. Why ruin it for her, y'know? So I'm like a little kid at Christmas now. I cannot WAIT for Sunday to get here!!! Heck yeah I'm married to the most fantastic woman on the planet!

jazzbo Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Can't get the Four Fresh from Mosaic any longer. Probably was the Dinah Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Dude, I alreaday have that one... I pre-ordered it on your recommendation, remember??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 You are a lucky guy. Mosaics are such a fun gift to receive. My mother ordered one for me when Mosaic was in its first year of operation. They were so helpful to her that she will not get me any other gift. She only wants to deal with Mosaic. So she has purchased a Mosaic for me for my birthday and Christmas for many years now. It's always great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Parlan box is a great one, in fact one of my favorites, just re listened to it recently. Congrats. You'd better take care of her now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This and the Parlan box were what I asked for. Started listening to the piano trio sides yesterday. Oh WOW whatta groove!!! Have I mentioned I love my wife and that she's the most wonderful woman in the world? Yes, I'd be saying this even if she got me a tie for Fathers Day.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I know you're in Texas and all that, but I thought people weren't supposed to marry their fathers Oh, and by the way, the Parlan and Turrentine boxes are a perfect match! You should have bought her the Turrentine for Mothers' Day. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have bought her the Turrentine for Mothers' Day. MG Interesting point. Are Fathers Day and Mothers Day even holidays outside of the U.S.? My parents, now close to 80 years old, gruffly announce each year that they will not be getting each other a gift on Mothers Day and Fathers Day because they are not each other's father and mother. They are seen as a bit eccentric by their friends and family, because it seems to have become a tradition that each spouse will get the other a gift on these days. In fact, I feel a lot of pressure to make Mothers Day memorable enough. Candy, flowers, special dinner out, jewelry and at least one other thoughtful gift seem to barely allow me to get through the day unscathed. But I still came out ahead this year, because she got me the five CD set of Sun Ra and his All Stars live in Europe, 1983 (Don Cherry, Lester Bowie, Archie Shepp, John Gilmore, Marshall Allen, Sun Ra, Richard Davis, Philly Joe Jones, Don Moye and Clifford Jarvis).

Alexander Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 My wife got me tickets to both days of the Freihoffer Jazz Fest! I had a great time last year and am looking forward to going again. Congrats on the Parlan box, Al! It is, indeed, a great set. I'll need to listen to mine sometime soon (in your honor, of course)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
