  1. That would be a good one. Perhaps Jerry surfs this site and will make a note of it? Mosaic could do a nice little PJ Select with 5 or 6 McCanns to work with. ________________________________________ Kevin Bresnahan Aug 3 2005, 10:02 AM Post #32 Shit, I missed this thread! I just got off the phone with Mosaic where I was calling to let them know that they might want to re-think their decision to do that upcoming Monk LP on 200 gram vinyl when I got to talking with a new voice. It turns out it was Jerry Roche. He pointed me out to his website and I was floored. I was told this was happening but I had a "gag order" until it was finalized. I guess it got finalized. Jerry is a really nice guy. We got talking and he talked about some other titles he's working on, including both Herb Geller dates from Jubilee on 1 Disc as well as Roy Ayers' "West Coast Vibe". It sounds like he's gonna go for most of the PJ material.
  2. A number of decent Les McCann PJs. Several others that come to mind: Ronell Bright "Bright Flight" Cliff Jordan "Hello Hank Jones" Junior Mance "That's Where It Is" Billy Taylor "At the London House" George Wallington "The Prestidigitator"
  3. Conrad, you seen the back of a Montecristo No. 4 box lately? No Mamacita!
  4. Love's putting was on the upswing yesterday, so if he can keep it together, I wouldn't count him out. Phil will tank.. I'm watching Greg Owen. Stan?? If I told you the truth, you wouldn't believe me....so here's a pic. I never rush things.
  5. Well, someone ought to at least advise him that, for someone of his bulk, it might be best to stay away from baby blue golf shirts when it's pushing 100 and you're gonna be sweating buckets.
  6. Not necessarily. There are all sorts of off-the-wall ideas/concepts that come to fruition. Who on earth would have believed that we'd live to see televison programs featuring nutballs devouring fistfuls of live beetles and earthworms in order to to 'win'? Heck, it wasn't too long ago that I read a couple of home improvement stories about folks who had taken to expanding their bathrooms to mammoth proportions, installed Czech crystal chandeliers and were hosting small dinner parties in there. I can easily imagine some blurb showing up in the Washington Post magazine section about some rage little fru-fru restaurant where you'd sit on cushions and eat off the floor. In 'Before the Deluge,' I seem to recall Otto Friedrich going on about a couple of restaurants in post-WWI Berlin where you could get all gussied up and actually dine opposite a corpse dressed up in a tux. Hell, I'd roll my angus ribeye in the grease oozing from between the floor tiles in a restaurant -- and pay for the pleasure of doing so -- before I'd share a table with some stiff Rodney Dangerfield clone in a midnight blue tux.
  7. A wiener is a dork, which is what both Mickelson and Love are -- although I was happy to see Mickelson basically tell his caddie to 'stuff it' on 18. He knew that he wanted to use the 4-wood from the get-go, and then the caddie starts in with the sand wedge nonsense and Mickelson says "Did you not listen to anything I just said?" Speaking of sand wedges....what's with Daly using the wedge to putt with? ...and what's with Singh's new golf shoes? They look like some sort of experimental Dr. Scholls Orthopedic Delights.
  8. Tiger's in trouble???? Hell, he doesn't even know the meaning of the word. 'Trouble' is when you put a monster slice on it and end up in the shit like I did a few weeks ago at a course in New Jersey.
  9. I only have a couple of jazz organ cds in the collection and have been sampling a couple of cuts here and there. This Baby Face Willette (TOCJ-6471) sample track ('Swingin w/Sugar Ray) sounds pretty hot. If the rest of the disc sounds like this, I'll definitely have to spring for it.
  10. Q: How do I get out of the persecution complex? A: Go UP at the airshaft.
  11. ...and furthermore... ......and by the way... .......and just for your information... ....and one more thing.....
  12. World? Not likely....that would be Amsterdam. I know about Boston...I'm an area native. DC probably has a leg up on 'em.
  13. She use to carve pumpkins..... vs. she used to carve pumpkins which is it?
  14. Trying to bait the Red Menace with his favorite tune & bring him out of retirement is worse than hi-jacking!!!
  15. So how's your vision? Can you still read the bottom line?
  16. All pals? Why, Chuck wouldn't even lend me the keys to his Mercury Marquis the last time I was out in MI.....and Moose & Ghost haven't written to me in weeks and failed to send the Polly Pocket gift set to my 8-year-old on her recent B'day! Pals my foot!!! Hmmph!
  17. I certainly wouldn't get the Patton B'Day and Hugo bone orchard date (1885)...but I would correctly peg the beginning of the Thirty Years War - 1618. What in blazes are they teachin' up there in those NY public schools, Alex??
  18. Zamfir had a similar problem in Romania... ← A tactless allusion, no doubt, to my confiding in you the Night Lights September schedule, which includes "Man With a Pan: Zamfir, the Early Years." Sorry for letting the cat outta the bag. Hey, be sure to spin a few from his classic 'Ete D'amour' LP. I had to fight off the chicks whenever I played that one at our college dorm parties in '79! Maybe you can bring me on as a special guest during the program and I'll tell ya all about it?
  19. He left out **1893 .....what a dummy. ** the year Cracker Jack was introduced at the Chicago World's Fair.
  20. Um, it's really about a college graduate tossing out Pearl Harbor as a response. It's not at all unfair to have a laugh about that on a bulletin board.
  21. Why? Beause it wasn't released for another 5 or 6 years? Fess up...you were looking for
  22. Either that, or the year that Robert the Bruce first jammed a penny in a Loafer.
  23. Truthfully......yes. At first I thought she was just ginnin' me.....but then... Got back in the car and told my kids. Even the 8-year-old knew there was something seriously wrong with that answer and was only off by a century with her PH correction.
