In our first house, one day I received a bundle of CDs in padded envelope, along with one that had a book. It was not addressed to me, anyone on our short street, or even anyone in our subdivision, but it had a delivery confirmation sticker. I stuck it in my maiblox the next day and hoped they would get it to the right addressee.

The only Tim Hardin I remember was the junkie folk singer who wrote ”Hang On to a Dream” and overdosed young.

Wasn’t Hawk in pretty bad health by the time Sirius was recorded?

Hopefully they lost a lot of money. -
Liebman always has numerous diverse projects in the planning stages, limited only by finding funding, never by finding the right musicians or composing the music for them. The man is fascinating to hear in person and a captivating interview guest, both of which I have experienced.

I’ll have to find my playlist, but I remember including two Ellington tunes, “Track 360,” “Happy-Go-Lucky Local” and Mulligan’s “K4 Pacific,” one of the tunes played by his big band that Concord Jazz chose to omit from his CD with Mel Torme and George Shearing.

It's funny how some titles suddenly jump in price once they are out of print. I get the idea that Uptown was more of a hobby than a business and once the founder died, his heirs had no interest in continuing the label.

I have respect for David R. Adler, a good hire by the new ownership. Hopefully he and his staff can repair the damage done by the group of clowns that ran the magazine off the cliff with their garbage writing. -
I am barely into the Dolphy biography, it only arrived yesterday. I am not much on reading e-books, they tire me...

I remember all too well from my retail management days when the reel to reel had issues with pitch, causing a wow in the sound. We were warned not to play the radio over the sound system, to avoid ASCAP complaints. One of these guys used to drop in on a little luncheon place in an office building, the owner told him he wasn't playing music for customers but for himself on a little cassette playing boom box. They will check every possibility for potential revenue. -
My cousin’s husband in Tampa bought a duplex, half of which he uses for his extensive train layout. I sent him a CDR of various train themed songs, not all jazz.

Given the age of many of us, we won’t be around to see a list in 2074…
