Thanks for the suggestion. Normally, I never shovel but because we were supposed to get 20 inches or so and I was concerned tge snow guy woukd need a backhoe, I did some shoveling while the snow was falling. Felt fine until a day later.

Allen posted something about the book on FB. Frankly, I’m thinking he makes too much of this particular passage. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0vn8juNCWeExLk1gVYiHCzPdLnRDGYzcy13qVXDZofy9ME81G7Szy1snR6pGtddE7l&id=100000637954817

Chiropractors is not something I’ve ever believed in. Unfortunately, I made it worse by doing some shoveling in February. Do a lot of stretching daily.

Have never felt old in my head. Unfortunately, my back ain’t cooperating right now so until I get moving in the morning, that drags me down.

Enjoyed the article Mark. Not enough Barry though.

Only one of two albums he made. The other (Indian Summer) was recorded by Chuck.

I have finished reading two thirds of Tisma’s trilogy novels about WW II and the Holocaust in Novi Sad, Serbia. Excellent but harrowing.

This doesn’t take into account the people who post about jazz at Hoffman.

That’s too bad about Larry. I imagine it’s a function of life advancing to its inexorable conclusion.

I don’t think there’s enough material there for a Mosaic.

My first exposure to Bird was through Phil Schaap and then I purchased the Yardbird Suite that I mentioned awhile ago. I then followed that with The Complete Dial Sessions on Jazz Classics (which was a very useful set), then a large Savoy and Dial set from one of the Spanish companies, which I sold when Savoy issued the Complete Savoy and Dial. Like you I have a lot of live stuff, plus the Mosaic and the 10cd Verve set and anything else that comes out that may be interesting. Stash put out some interesting CDs that I have.

Yes, that’s a Select. The Keystones are sufficiently distinct from his earlier BNs that it doesn’t make sense to join them together in a regular Mosaic and if you take out the Keystones there’s not enough there.

I still say get the Complete Savoy and Dial from 2000. There are a couple on Discogs for $70 and $58. A steal in my opinion. If you don’t like alternates or false starts, just skip over them.

Nights at the Keystone.
