I gotta say I am leaning heavily toward the d/l FLAC thing. Burn a disc, save another, back up the files to a hard drive or two. I'll be good until I kick.

@david weiss Are you aware of any other tapes that this gentleman had? Did he finally find a buyer with Zev or did his heirs sell this one?

What Jim says is true in the sense that what i suggested is not an ironclad rule. 20 years ago I let people "talk amongst themselves" and stayed out of the discussion thread. But that was when participation was a hell of a lot higher than it is today.

How is the music/sound, @bertrand ?

The way it works is that specific guesses get responses from the compiler in this thread. The full reveal is a separate thread in which you give all details you wish to give on every single track, with the option of your own comment on any particular track.

This doesn't fit in the Phil Schaap thread, because its from the Leonard Gaskin Collection at the Smithsonian, and doesn't fit in the Percy France thread since it doesn't involve Percy. Duke Jordan interviewed by fellow Brooklyn jazz artists Ray Abrams and Willie Jones (Leonard Gaskin operated the video camera and is heard but not seen). Never seen by anyone since it was recorded at Leonard Gaskin's home on June 15, 1989. Leonard Gaskin Papers, Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution.

Thank you!

What about deleting the 11,000 and starting with auto-approve, or a presumption of legitimate interest for most accounts, going forward?

Definitely sad to hear, I am sure this will hit Allen Lowe especially hard as I believe they were close.

As I posted in reply to Jim's question, the account seems to have disappeared. Perhaps FB's system watches for banned IP addresses.

I do not know. But the account seems gone again so they may have killed it by targeting his IP. Which suggests a VPN might fix his problem.

Allen is looking to build back his friends list under a new account, Lowe Allen. If you were following Allen's FB posts before please consider sending a friend request.

I put a track from the Billy Mitchell on a BFT many many moons ago.

This place needs new posters. Or else it will consist of what are you listening to now, punctuated very occasionally by actually interesting conversation. Nobody wants spammers but why keep the door shut 99.9% of the way? Avoid the extra work of banning someone who spams and removing their posts?

I am hoping for reports on this one especially sound compared to original tape that circulated among those in the know or with connections or, I imagine at some point, an internet connection and Bit-Torrent software.
