For those who do not want to mix politics and jazz, you can sign up to ignore the Political Forum or the DEEP OLIVE BRANCH TO CHRISTIERN thread.

I took a brief time out from draining pints in London to catch 'ol Ravi at the Southwark Cathedral in '81........eggggggselent show.

No matter what it is you're selling, it's always best to keep the item description short & sweet........somewhere in the 12,000 word range. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=47103

Oh rats...how clumsy of me. I forgot to post page 2.

Hhmmmm, interesting coincidence. I've been doing a little archival research of my own and discovered that a few key documents seem to have been slightly 'altered'. Now you wouldn't know anything about that Chris, would you?

That seller used to be over at BNBB. Is he here? or AAJ? B)

Yeah really. Alex, back in the late 70's I lost control of the car in a blinding snowstorm on the Southeast Expressway in Boston and rear ended a police cruiser that was idling away over on the shoulder. Ooops.

We'll keep an eye out for a 'Kucinich Takes Iowa!!!' thread.

Sorry, I forgot....reputations are at stake here --- which is why BN already released the blasted thing on marginal quality vinyl that many of us are now enjoying. It's a jazz board.......on a jazz board people express enthusiasm for things they're interested in. No one suggested catching Cuscuna in a dark alley and putting a blade to his throat over it.....so why the problem?

Well, only one way to find out. Since you're the resident 'Hill' man, how about drafting an enthusiastic letter that we can all sign off on....and then ask someone to please have Cuscuna forward it to Hill. Is there anyone here who has heard DWD that wouldn't give it an enthusiastic endorsement by signing on the dotted line? Time to seize the initiative and go on the offensive, right?

They started tacking on bonus cuts with TOCJ-9361 (Hub-Tones).

'Attention all hands...this is the captain speaking! Target is in sight. At my command, fire forward torpedo tubes #1 (Basra), #2 (Royal Flush) & #3 (Delightfulee)!!'

We can be certain that these are straight reissues of the earlier versions. Right. The only thing that is going to be different is the color of the OBI.

Old-Time Fitness in Old-Order Amish Why Are We Less Fit Than our Ancestors? Amish Offer Clues By Daniel DeNoon on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 WebMD Medical News Jan. 7, 2004 -- Where did our fitness go? A look at an old-order Amish community offers a clue. If you randomly select three American adults, you're likely looking at one obese person and one overweight person. But are we really less fit than our meat and potatoes, gravy-eating ancestors? Yes, say University of Tennessee researcher David R. Bassett, PhD, and colleagues. Bassett's team didn't have a time machine, so they did the next best thing. They went to an old-order Amish community in southern Ontario, Canada, and asked for help. Like other Amish communities, these people shun modern conveniences and power machinery. Unlike some other Amish, most of this Ontario community still farms for a living. Bassett asked 98 of these men and women to wear a modern step-counting device for seven days. The study participants also told him details about their daily physical activities. Even though they ate the high-fat, high-sugar diet typical of pre-World War II Americans -- meat, potatoes, gravy, eggs, garden vegetables, bread, pies, and cakes -- the Ontario Amish were remarkably fit. Only 4% were obese and only 26% were overweight. How did they do it? Hard work -- and lots of foot power. Their weekly exercise was equivalent to that of long-distance runners. Men averaged 18,425 steps a day. Women averaged 14,196 daily steps. "The Amish were able to show us just how far we've fallen in the last 150 years or so in terms of the amount of physical activity we typically perform," Bassett says in a news release. "Their lifestyle indicates that physical activity played a critical role in keeping our ancestors fit and healthy." The findings appear in the January issue of Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise, the official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine.

Just finished reading the Cuscuna intro to the new Mosaic catalogue. Sounds like the act of assembling these two sets was one massive exercise in hair pulling. Too bad though that we won't get to hear both the stereo & mono versions of 'Slow Freight' on the Brookmeyer set.

Yes, some Sonny Stitt-loving board member sold the cd last week. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...6&category=1056

Funny, I just burned 'Autumn Walk' from Breakthrough for a comp disc that I've put together to entertain (hopefully?) the assembled at a 60th B'Day party for a pal next weekend. I really like that bass of Robinson's. I agree that that's the LP to snag first medjuck.

'O Little Town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee Red Mitchell TOCJ cancelled; above the deep Max Bennettless sleep the silent stars go by......'

Yes. May I forward a blank disc for you to use?

The one over by the Universitat has a less than impressive selection (imo). In Munich, Bird's Nest Records is the place to go for jazz....lot's of vinyl...but some Mosaics too.

I bet we both like homemade wild mushroom & asparagus quiche coupled with a crisp white wine? http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...the%20flip&st=0 page 12.

I was so excited to pick this one up on 'Conn D-Day' over at Tower Records that I actually broke tradition and left the political forum for a brief spell in order that I might cobble together a serious, enthusiastic, somewhat disjointed, high school level technical review. I'm devastated that you missed it.

I always check 'em out for great savings....you can really save a bundle on some titles. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product_lis...4%3A4112%3A5055

Now all Gibbs needs to do is pitch those shrimpy little backs and bring in some big backs like the 'ol days. Hey, how old is John Riggins these days? Whip that boy into shape and bring him back, Joe!!!
