I think about selling 2k records to make space - but lose heart of selling any on the shelves after sorting out the unfiled new receipts, flea market and garage sale records to purge which is usually 2-300… but maybe a winter project. Then the 78’s which are a special burden…

I have the hat Musics releases (2 different LPs), this 2 LP set and the 4 CD set too. Nuts really…

Hat hut/art/etc. has gone through so many permutations over the years that you can end up with the same music with some variation in takes/editing.

I remember long ago (40+ years) when the news on NPR and MPR was not rebroadcast but with shifting focus / nuance each go round. Miss that. Or maybe I just had a hard time paying attention…

7 amazing!

And the cold that keeps it from getting dry.

Fortunately I rolled up the deck carpet and put it away in the AM…

Doris!

Damn wonderful.

Same album - one for USA and one for GDR.

More of what you expect from me… I love this stuff so much.

The guy who runs Enterprise has been in business for @ 40 years and really knows records. Moody and Strange used to be together with Moody upstairs.

About 3 years ago I got 16 boxes and booklets with no CDs but slowly I have filled all the ones I did not have but one (McLean) and this is the first duplicate of one I had on LP I’ve filled. If only the Basie Roulette’s and Capitol Jazz Sessions were included - have CDs but no box/booklet.

About as you’d expect. Was better at 33 - the laudanum remix…

1958 album which you can find today on @bandcamp.com canary-records.bandcamp.com/album/in-an-...

Sunday morning jam. Many parties on the commons at Macalester were fueled by this band…

A bit of a cash in on their deaths with Patsy Cline but a very fine record too.

Glad you liked it! Moody Lords and Enterprise are the best. There are two other shops on Congress St on the same block as Moody Lords and Enterprise is a short walk and just off Congress.

FYI - current listening

Keep us informed - still working for some reason (mostly fear of ending up eating cat food).

Pretty sure people like it when you wear vintage clothes.

Got more complements on my clothes today than I’ve gotten in years…

I guess the blue eyed devil could be the gaseous wind bag POTUS…not intended but I see that.

So last night I was driving home and the jazz station was playing Return to Forever and I stopped listening and really heard nothing when suddenly it turned interesting and I refocused because it was now Weather Report…

Office decorations - I contributed one of these

I was driving home yesterday (maybe the day before) listening to Jazz 88.5 on the radio and a tune came on that sounded modern but also like Eddie Costa. Then I guessed it was Bill Carrothers on piano. (I was right.) I wonder if he even listened to Costa? Many ways to get to the same place.

I have versions of three and a half of them I believe.

I have that recording and have not listened to it enough to really recall it. Moods is a wonderful album - but honestly my go to albums are Black Glory and Up Popped the Devil along with all the Lacy meetings in all the different permutations (special call out to One Upmanship).

He failed Econ and does not understand the concept of comparative advantage - he only understands shakedowns to benefit himself.

Twins fire Baldelli after making him play with, at best, a AAA team since the trade deadline. He must have made too much. Cretin-Derham may need a new coach soon…
