Memorial Day plans?

[GloriousBlues]

I'm gonna fire up my smoker and throw in some spare ribs, salmon, and halibut. I'm also gonna try the jalapeno-pecan-sweet potato recipe that was posted on this board a few months ago. And I will drink beer.

We're gonna take in a big flea market upstate. I'll have my head buried in piles of vinyl looking for a find.

So I did pretty good with the vinyl hunt:

Wes Montgomery - Movin' Along Riverside Green Label VG+ - $3

DeJohnette Complex - Mint Gatefold on Milestone - $3

Cal Tjader - Live and Direct - Fantasy Red Vinly - VG $1

Yusef Lateef - Autophysiopsychic - VG+ $1

Terrible news, fellow US citizens of the board. I just turned the calendar in the office and it dawned on me:

The Fourth of July falls on a Sunday, so no workday holiday!

Hopefully I can prevail on the boss to make the friday before optional or maybe a half day.

Dan, if it falls on a Sunday, then Monday is a day off. Banks, post offices, etc. will be closed. And most businesses too, unless it is run by a guy with a hooded mask.

I spent my weekend recovering from a cold, and I bought a ton of really cool classical lps for a buck a pop. 50's RCA, columbia, etc. Some really nice performances of American classical music. And some jazz as well -- Buddy De Franco, George Auld on Mercury, etc.
