mikelz777 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) In response to the topic, the only Mosaic I obtained and subsequently got rid of was the Buddy Hackett set. I love Hackett's sound (his performance certainly wasn't lacking on the set) and thought I'd love this one but it was a little too much on the "easy listening" side for me so it wasn't worth keeping. Umm, you mean "Bobby" Hackett. BUDDY Hackett was funny listening, not easy listening... oops! Thinking Bobby but typing Buddy.

JSngry Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I didn't get the Max set. Never had the $$$ once it got to Running Low, have virtually all the material already in some form or fashion, and just thought that I could not get it and live with that decision. Guess I was wrong.

Hot Ptah Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 That Jim Nabors set turned out to be a dud - who'd have thunk it? One of my favs. Especially the Sergeant Carter sessions. Yes! And Goober was a nice surprise as a sideman on those. Dude, Goober isn't even on those sessions--he's on the Mayberry sessions.

Hot Ptah Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 It was a mistake to buy this Mosaic Single: Give it time--and repeated listens. It'll really grow on you. I distinctly remember when Goober appeared on a late night talk show to plug this album, when it was newly released. It must have been either Joey Bishop or Dick Cavett, as in our rural setting, we did not get NBC and thus could not watch the Tonight Show. It was probably Joey Bishop. This doesn't seem much like Cavett material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Twizzle Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 According to George "Goober" Lindsey's autobiography (for some unexplained reson I received it 7 years ago as a premium gift for joining an old time radio website) he preferred jazz, especially Oscar Peterson, to country music. He was also frustrated for being typecast for life as Goober even though he could do much more (or so he said). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Larsen Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I regret the decision I made in grad school to pay my rent rather than pick up the Chico Hamilton Mosaic when it hit last chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he writes in his book in the end it's better to be Goober then it is to be a forgotten out of work actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Well nobody's hiring him for Chekkov these days. Can't imagine why. From one of the reviews of his book on Amazon: Not many people know that Mr. Lindsey was a student at the American Theatre Wing, attending on the GI Bill, and was trained in the Stanislavski Method of acting. As any serious student of drama knows, Stanislavski and Chekov go together like . . . . . . . . . . . . well, Goober and Gomer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Larsen Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I've always been in the minority around here in not being a huge fan of Mosaic packaging, but I do like the "complete sessions" aspect of the label. The reality is that if Mosaic let consumers pick and choose, they would only be able to release a tiny fraction of the music they otherwise release, and therefore a lot of sessions would never see the light of day.
