I don't have a subscription login or car package, but have been able to access all of their channels by just going to the site or using the mobile app for more than 2 months now. Is this a glitch? Their free previews only last about a week or two and no trial was signed up for. Hmmm... https://player.siriusxm.com

There appeared to be a 20 year break in recording between his albums for Blue Note and SteepleChase (1958-1978). So this month, we have lost Hutch, Mr. Smith, and a guy who worked closely with both of them at BN, RVG.

The avalanche of musicians leaving us continues as the underappreciated trumpeter, Louis Smith, apparently passed away a few days ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Smith_(musician) http://wemu.org/post/remembering-louis-smith-ann-arbor-trumpeter-and-educator#stream/0

Why is nobody grabbing this? Absolute steal. If I didn't have this, I'd be on it in a heartbeat.

Had the chance to meet him once back in the late 90s. Down to earth and a supremely kind individual. RIP.

Tim Hudson wasn't too shabby the other day either.

http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=1005 Looks to be back in stock, however temporarily.

A bunch of 'em as low as $.99, which is a great deal considering the cover price and their value & collectability in the secondary market. Looks like some issues are sold out already and prices changed as well. http://store.waxpoetics.com/collections/back-issues?page=1 http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/2014/02/wax-poetics-back-issues-sale

He passed several days ago, but I didn't see any posts about him in general here. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2013/04/don_blackman_ri.html

So I had a double crown on two side teeth gone really bad extracted today. Afterwards, I asked if I could keep the teeth and my dentist sternly refused, saying there was too much bacteria and infection on them for me to have it and that it had to be disposed of as it was biomedical waste. His hygienist seconded what he said and I didn't want to press an awkward issue further. He said I could have kept them if they were instead fairly healthy teeth and did let me take pictures though. To be fair, the teeth were in pretty dire shape (dark,decayed & rotting). My dentist is otherwise a friendly and reasonable dude. Has this happened to anyone else here before? I don't see what the harm was.

Thanks, BW! Totally forgot I had posted this a while back. Guess I won't rely on cost basis information on the innaweb for tax purposes then.

Can someone explain to me why two different reputable websites are giving me varying historical quotes for the same day? I'm no finance expert, but shouldn't they be the same data? For example, BRE Properties stock on July 7, 1998 According to USA Today, USA Today Date Last High Low Close Volume % Change 07/07/1998 27.12 28.25 27.06 28.06 303,700 4.18% But then Yahoo Finance says: Yahoo Finance Date Open High Low Close Volume Adj Close* Jul 7, 1998 24.22 25.23 24.17 25.06 303,700 12.28 What gives? Sorry for the formatting, but I can't get the data to space out right.

http://blues.about.com/b/2012/01/13/texas-boogie-woogie-king-omar-sharriff-r-i-p.htm Shreveport, Louisiana television station KTBS is reporting on its website that Texas blues pianist Omar Shariff (a/k/a David Alexander) passed away on Sunday, January 8, 2012 at the age of 73 years old, evidently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Born in Shreveport but raised in nearby Marshall, Texas the young David Alexander Elam was a second-generation, self-taught pianist. Since the Marshall area is largely thought of as the birthplace of the boogie-woogie style of piano blues, Elam picked up plenty of boogie flavor learning from the originators of the style. Elam joined the Army at the age of 17 and, after a two-year hitch, he relocated to Oakland, California in 1957...

Think he may be the granddad of football player Maurice Purify.

My Amazon pre-order for the Sam Cooke RCA box got cancelled due to lack of stock and the one for this Simone set has been delayed because of low stock.

PM sent on Bob Brookmeyer - Mosaic Select 9 $30 & Lee Konitz - Motion (Verve LPR) $5 Somebody needs to snatch up that Amy Select, great stuff.

Had the pleasure to see him w/ Honeyboy Edwards early this year at a Robert Johnson centennial tribute here in SF. They both were hooked up to portable respirators when playing, but were still jamming. Sadly, they're both gone now.

Sold out in many record stores & limited to a 1000 copies according to the Hoffman board, but apparently, J&R has some, so carpe diem. http://www.jr.com/product/music/pm/_2056691/?JRSource=linkshare&SiteID=je6NUbpObpQ-nUgiu10CL2m8ibB6JdgcGQ
