Bill Barron and Ted Curson were an ideally matched team.

I had my copy signed by both (in different locations and at different times). Greg said the absence of a piano player (which leaves a gap IMHO) was the idea of the record producer, but he thought it was well compensated for by the presence of Harvie S. Gary was very interested in the CD, as he'd never seen it before!

Two, but not quite IN. Can it be that hard?

I like this one better than the first. Frank Haynes, Bill Hardman & Billy Gardner. Who could ask for anything more? (Apart from Columbia hiring better sleeve designers.)

Breakfast today with

Fela Kuti - Again - Excuse-o - Coconut 1976

Fela Kuti - JJD (Johnny just drop) - Afrodisia  1977

Gwigwi's Band - Kwela - 77 Afro series (the only one in 77's Afro series ) 1967. (Arr & Alto sax; Dudu Pukwana, leader & alto sax; Gwigwi Mrwebi, pno, Chris McGregor - v interesting band but the normal kind of Township stuff I like. Which means this probably isn't a recommendation.)

Flying Lotus "Flamagra" Warp Records cd

Probably would have had more enthusiasm about this, like...20 years ago, but still and all,  a fine album. John Stubblefield adds value, for sure.

Ok, the last tune, "Big Girls", Stubblefield brings it home,. I'm playing "Shelf or Share" with a couple of boxes of things, and this one was going to be shared until this last cut. Stubblefield is moving it to the shelf!

Nice! Hope our praise of this in the Nathan Davis thread didn't steer you wrong.

My approach to culling music from my collection: If there's ANY doubt, keep it !!!

That's been mine, too, and for several decades. But now, finally, I'm kinda getting tired of having stuff in boxes and not on shelves. And I'm not really wanting to buy more shelving and then try to find a wall to put it on (because there's not any of that left).

So...I'm not going to listen to everything I have "one more time" before I die, even if I live another 20+ years. I am going to keep getting new stuff in, becuswe I like to find new stuff I hadn't know before, So...some shit's gotta go, eventually.

The good news is that I got local buddies who are happy to take a lot of it. And I just donate a lot to the library. So, nothing goes to waste.

But I be a liar if I said that this getting rid of stuff is coming easy to me. It ain't!  

[Dub Modal]

I recently had good success offloading a small lot of LPs at a record show that came through. I wasn’t trying to make a lot of money on these but it was a better experience than at local shops. Our libraries don’t take stuff like this anymore, old books neither. 

[JSngry]

Our library takes donations and then sells them at library sales. I try to always go because there's other people out there who are doing the same thing. I never go away empty-handed, which is kinda self-defeating, but oh well....

[Dub Modal]

I remember those. They stopped doing them here a few years ago. Now all donations are handled through a 3rd party.
