....yeah they did!!

Vguy billy and trey just tore the roof off the place last night. I am still on that high!

That's very kind, thankyou very much - I've just sent a PM. Sorry I didn't respond yesterday - we had a power cut.

I prefer a sensible sized box. They could send the little drum separately.

Mention of Dizzy Gillespie leads on to Charlie Parker - far and away my most listened to jazz musician over the last year or so. Bebop isn't my first language by ant stretch of the imagination - but this music is dazzling. The studio cuts on Savoy and Dial records are always the ones recommended. The live ones feature more stretching out, but sound quality isn't up to today's standards. In some cases, though, that actually adds to the enjoyment. Listening to Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker at The Town Hall NYC 6/22/45 you can sometimes hear the crowd and the glasses tinkling in the background. Like being in a nightclub in the 1940's. Weird.

....Billy Strings hometown.
A sit in is occurring as I type.

Obvious Samson & Delilah/Throwing Stones theme mid Moma Dance. Very nice.
Jerry would be happy.

most of the time.

Saw him twice 38 years ago, Friday and Saturday Night (August 29 and 30 1986), at the Blue Note Greenwich Village Manhattan.

He and his band cooked.

Oro - Well said. A lot of great discussions here, on literature, the making of sound (something you are well versed in), art, aging, you name it. I cannot even list the number of albums I’ve bought based on recommendations here.

DCMVT - Great choice on the Ron Miles release, it’s a good one, and Frisell is his usual brilliant self on it. Anything by the late Ron Miles is worth listening to in my book, as his trumpet playing was understated, yet masterful. I am a fan of a lot of country, bluegrass, and hybrids (like country rock), but jazz is really special. I owe the Dead a big debt (among others, like Steely Dan) for opening the door to Jazz for me, or at least listening to different styles with an open ear.
To quote Mr Ones, “Music is the best”!

All the best wishes for your procedure PT. A couple years ago, had to have four procedures within six months in the middle of covid, great docs, nurses and hospital key but I did begin to wonder why they kept inviting me back. They no longer provide the good pain meds to take home thanks to the Sacklers. Reading Phil's book finally, glad to see his references to Coltrane, how Dizzy Gillespie and Charles Mingus came to primal shows in the 60s. Moving from bluegrass phase to jazz, will hear Ray Vega this evening outdoors, Saturday afternoon, jazz by some old masters at a local church and later that evening, Coltrane's Love Supreme, by a trio in another church just up the road. Ron Miles last album Old Main Chapel is on the way, (his trio with Brian Blade and Bill Frisell). Frisell is about to start a long run at the Village Vanguard in NYC, for those within range. Then he will appear at the DC Jazzfest at the end of this month along with an incredible array of jazz greats.

Something for your pet rabbit to play with.

interesting

in 86 I was working at a restaurant as a prep cook. Got severely scalded. OUCH. Two weeks in burn unit.

Dilaudid was prescribed. Me on that med: "Burns? What burns?"

The Munsters on telly was REALLY funny.

A commercial for chocolate chips and "lumpy bumpy cookies" had me laughing real good.

After discharge I was prescribed some med (not Dilaudid). Being at home was a lot less fun; and, they wouldn't re-up the at-home med. "Tylenol for you, bro." Bruh...

edit: "some med" was codeine, I believe.
