About the Spanish Civil War but a bit of a mess.

Here in NW New Jersey near Morristown, about two or three inches so far I’d say.

The Champ!

I’m curious as to whether you were charged twice. If you weren’t, I wouldn’t bother and even if you were, just sell the second copy, as has been suggested here. I’ve never purchased from them; I find them to be expensive and all you’re buying is another concert.

You probably could sell it, even with a damaged box (although it hasn’t sold that high on eBay lately).

There’s a record show every month in Wayne. Not jazz specific though.

The Jazz Bash, which is held every June, has decided that there won’t be one this year and thereafter. I received the following email: ”Dear Friends, I regret to report that Barry Miller and I have decided not to run the Jazz Record Bash this June. It’s become more challenging to attract enough dealers and attendees to make the event financially worth holding. It’s been a great run for nearly half a century, with Ken Crawford, Art Zimmerman Henry Schmidt others and at the helm. Barry and I have been proud to continue the tradition for the past three years. Barry & I would be delighted if one or more of you would like to take the reins and continue The Bash for this year and possibly into the future. We’d be happy to provide you with assistance and advice on how to handle the hotel arrangements and other preparations. Please let me know if you’re interested or need more information. Take care, and many thanks for the memories. Best regards, Dave Weiner” That’s a shame I always enjoyed going there and picking up something and talking to the dealers, including Scott from Mosaic

Having finished Moby-Dick, I read this brief but very useful book.

Disc 2.

Mosaic now has some discographies on their site.

Same here. That’s a name from the past. Haven’t heard his name in years. I see that I joined on March 7, 2003.

I took a break from Moby Dick to finish this wonderful book by Laurie Lee about his going to Spain right before the Spanish Civil War. During his two years away from home in Gloucestershire he travels by foot from the top of Spain all the way to the South and leaves just as the Civil War heats up. He survives on money he can earn from playing his violin and the kindness of the people he meets. In the book’s epilogue he decides he has made a mistake leaving and hikes over the Pyrenees to get back into Civil War Spain
