  1. I bought this set on a whim fairly recently. Basically because it was cheap...ordinarily the instrumentation and mostly solo singing wouldn't appeal so much. But I think it's great and am happy I bought it (farewell Berkshire Record Outlet and thanks for the memories).
  2. Bach fest This is Bijlsma's first (1979) set on Sony. The second (1992) was on Sony Vivarte.
  3. True, that. And the former is way, way more common. 😁
  4. Kid Rock definitely, but I'm not sure Billie Holiday would pass muster.
  5. There's a new Sun Ra documentary film: https://www.firelightfilms.tv/films/sun-ra-do-the-impossible Mostly shown at festivals so far. Coming to the area soon, I may go see it.
  6. $40-$60 MM is more than I would have thought. Although the headline number* is still a lot less than various pop music deals: https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/ranked-biggest-music-catalogue-sales-163000337.html * "Headline number" because I'm too lazy to compare the exact rights granted by the various transactions.
  7. Sorry, another hockey thing. "Habs" used to be a common way of referring to the Canadiens. I always thought it was based on 'Les Habitants, the informal name given in the 17th century to the original settlers of "New France"', but apparently the history is murky. The 1970s Canadiens dynasty with Dryden as goaltender is "legendary", no exaggeration. Really great teams.
  8. No, Lucille passed in 2004. Sonny Rollins supposedly lives in or near Woodstock, NY, less than an hour from me. But he is extremely private, and I don't know anyone who's seen him around the town.
  9. Sorry. I thought "(Habs Legend)" in the thread title sufficed to rule out forum Ken. Going from the number of views, it obviously didn't. Apologies again. [I'd expect a hockey thread here to get around a dozen views, and this got 700+ so far?]
  10. Wrote maybe the best book about pro hockey, The Game. In the prime of his career, retired and held out for the entire '73-'74 season in a contract dispute. Instead he worked as a law clerk and finished his law studies.
