Board Member, and an irreplaceable harmonica virtuoso, like our featured

& ABD -- which is like dig-latin for "long time no 'C'."</span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">I just got back from an
almost Admirable Pearyshibble expedition up to the remoter parts of the great
northern latitudes of Washington, A.C. I almost had to like make with the
dog sled routine and mush my way through the backwoods 'cept it was already
August and the flakes had mostly split up to Santa's pad some six moons in
advance of my opening night. </span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">I tracked my way
through the mother primeval towards the call of the wildest record library on
the face of the whole damn Thelonius Sphere, where I got lost in a platter
paradise and found myself scopin' and scoopin' deep in the grooves of the
sweetest stacks of vinyl and shellac, where the music of the ages is stored on
our old flat friends -- which is just down the street from where the grapes of
wrath are stored, so it's a pretty good neighborhood, I guess. From this
heavenly stash, I retrieve the lost treasures of music to share with you all
out there in wherever the hell you are-land. </span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">So I got hung up or
somethin' and when I came to, I realized, with the help of a shower of
wheredahellru? emails, that it had been eons since I sent out even one ion of
electrickally -- electicklely connections and that some of you actually missed my
missives and/or were just Jonesin' to catch some more of the great musical
wizards of the past </span></font><i><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; ">wailin' </span></font></i></span><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"> right

excuse for laggin', 'cause all we got up there is like some way -- retired
Reuter's New's Service homing pidgeons leftover from the old Edward G. Robinson
movie to get me on the internet so anything involving music and video ain't too
likely to make a connection let alone score even a taste of the high speed I
need to get myself good and downloaded. Even the phone lines are like
pushin' fifty plus and they been getting weathered, frayed and fried since back
when Elvis was news.</span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">Anyway, it's better to
be late than pregnant, so without further ado, adieus, or any and all unpaid
dues, it's finally way past time get down with your bag of leftover Halloween
candy dregs (or whatever gets you goin') and grok-toe through the tulips
towards this big basket-case of </span></font><i><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; ">exceptionally good</span></font></i></span><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"> goodies.</span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">As always, if you got
good speakers or headphones, get 'em out, plug 'em in and crank it up! Music is

of the same session-snappers were used on both records? Check the tone of the
lead snapper on these sessions -- it sounds to these ears like Sorry, Charlie
Popper on the alto thumb and Bird finger to this "don't wannabe" jazz scholar.
I'd also like to know if finger snappers are in the Musician's Union or do they
get scabs to do the dates and do those scabs get even more scabs from all that
finger friction? Surely one of you surly sirs or sizzlin' sista's knows
fer sure. Mail me an "e," if you're on top of it. Maybe like singers and radio

I don't know, I was only told,
but she sure could sing like she'd done it all. She was a California-cool
canary if there ever was one. Miss Egstrom dumped the Dakotas after the first
few bars and built a nest in L.A. with her husband, Dave Barbour, and paved
some mighty wax mostly for the benefit of the Big Chiefs of the Capitol Tower

to no higher authority than the sacred texts inscribed on the back of a set of

delinquent back in the good old golden rule days (or nights, actually) I used
to stay up sometimes till seventy 'leven o'clock in the damn morning just to
catch the Movies Till the Day After Tomorrow's Dawn, surfin' through the screen
gems for moments of musical majesty stashed between the sometimes duller dialog
of old "B" programmers. This was one of my first and best finds.</span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">1935 was when swing
really came out swingin' with Benny tearin' up the Palomar and this new music
got the kids goin' crazy again. In short order, even a couple of
Hollywood's bigger wiggers figured out that Fats was doin' more than his fair
share and really hittin' his stride in the swing scene. They decided to slip
him into a slice of their little celluloid scene to see if maybe he could sell
a song. Fats Waller was, is, and always will be a feast for the eyes and
ears, body, soul and don't forget the feet, Pete. This little clip will
nail that statement to the ceiling, with feeling.</span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">The thing I like best
about the "old jazz" is the "groove." Their job was DRIVIN' the dancers
who were wearin' out the dancefloors and stompin' the mother Savoy Ballroom on
down. See if you can detect any groove emanatin' from Fats and his little
combo. Even Jack Oakie and his cigar-puffin' pal get off!</span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Garamond" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><b><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">5.

beboppers were instigatoring some kinda "just say no" campaign to stop jazz
from bein' a dance music, the Latins from Manhattan, Miami and Havana were
comin' up with this monster mambo beat, the hottest take on Jelly Roll Morton's
Spanish tinge to date, Gate. This wicked little waltz was takin' tons of
dancin' former jazz kiddies along for a ride like rats followin' the piper all
the way out to Spanish Hamlin and eventually out into the Catskulls where it
found some friendly Jewish cats -- including a 19 year old future concert
promoter Bill Graham, who were more than ready to run with it.</span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">Soon Bird and Diz got
hip and the bopsters traded a few flatted fifths in on a brand new groove now
known as Afro-Cuban jazz, but back then, some of the hipper cats called Cubop.
Like Blakey ain't flakey, so callin' this Art Cubop must be cool. </span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">Between the decline of
swing and the rise of R&B, many kids got crazy to the beat of the Mambo,
like at the high school dance in "West Side Story." Most of the squares
heard various lame-ass big band covers of this tune like Sonny Burke's, but the
devil wore (out) Pérez Prado, cause he digs it hot. So will you. See if you can
detect the groove stashed somewhere inside this mad little minuet.</span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">---------------------------------------------------------------</span></font><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">Now here's a brand new

John Lee Williamson, was no slouch and recorded some slick sides for Victor's

really bitchin' audio files for any audiophiles, audiofellas, audiofillies or
audiophools out there who still want more, more, more of our fine feathered
feature-kitty who is most certainly NOT what Al Jolson had in mind when he
waxed "Sonny Boy" in the late 1920s.
Here's the very best of the ear candy I was able to find hidden under
large irritating patches of internettles. </span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">This stuff is pretty
good wake up music for when you have to get up at some ungoodly and/or ungodly
hour of the morning to milk the chickens or what ever your gig is. If you
play these sounds often enough, Sonny Boy will give a you lot more juice,
Bruce, and you can load 'em into your own eye, ear, nose and throat pod, put it
on repeat and make enough of your own chicken milk to feed and clothe any and
all of your eggs that happen to hatch. Like, it'll be good for you to hit on
these, even if you can't see it all go down. </span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><b><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">"Little Village"
