Parkertown

Hey gang, hope all is well. I haven't been in for a visit in...years. Just thought I'd peek in. I hope Jim and the band, and all you guys are doing well.

I was up a good chunk of the night...; couldn't sleep...; pain. But I gave a spin to Side 1 of Keith Jarretts "Expectations" sometime about 4am. I was groovin', sorta, and was finally starting to nod off towards the end of the side. We've recently had a nasty infestation of yellowjacket wasps in a corner of the exterior of our family room, where the stereo is. They've been getting inside; was killing 20-40 wasps a day inside the house. It's sealed up now and their presence is diminishing. Well, there was a part that started up, must've been Dewey's sax, but it sounded just like a friggin' wasp in my right ear! I fuckin' freaked, tearing off the headphones, batting my hands about...; going from a state of peace and relaxation to a complete eruption of activity, fear, stress,... I kinda laughed afterwards, but dang...scared the sheet out of me! This one might be heading to the "sell" pile...heh...

Hey there Tim; nice to see you here. I've not been here in a long while; just not enough time these days... Sorry for not getting back to you a couple weeks back. I did check out your blog. Very cool; I know that can be a bit of work sometimes.

Happy late Birthday! 30...wow...Life starts getting good right about then...

Happy Birthday Bruce. Best wishes for 2011!

Hope your day was great Papsrus. Best wishes.

Thanks everyone. Still above ground!

That one should show up as an XRCD sometime...

Will you offer a hi-res download?

How's the sound?

PM coming on Quebec Soul Samba TOCJ.

Wow...this thread is dead as a doornail. Let's breathe some life into it. I'll start: Up for grabs is LP of Bo Diddley Is A Gunslinger. 1988 Chess/MCA reissue cut by Greg Fulginitti at Artisan. VG+ throughout with the exception of the cut corner upper right. Tried to sell it on the SH board with no takers. Cost me $10, but I'd gladly offer it up here to revive this thread. Please post in this thread to claim it, followed by your PM. P.S. The DP album is not available... I'll see if I can find some more too. Oh, how 'bout this one: Cd of Gary McFarland & Co "Does The Sun Really Shine On The Moon"? on Skye/DCC Jazz DJZ-634. Jewel case has a broken hinge. If that bothers you just say so and I'll try to find a replacement lid... Post first, then PM. P.S. Only the McFarland disc is available...

They're all surely from digital too. But, I did buy the version of Miles Ahead (chick cover, stereo mix) just to have the corrected stereo version on a clean LP. It sounds okay...; nothing earth shattering. And they are $20 to $25...so they're definitely not cheap.
