Once upon a time you could go into a drug store and buy books with titles like this. Now you have to buy drugs.

No photo of Sonny Rollins practicing on the Williamsburg Bridge during his sabbatical has ever surfaced. Any existing photos available of him on The Bridge were staged. It’s been confirmed by others that he practiced there, but somewhere there’s gotta be a photo by a passerby. Right?

with all the brouhaha about re-dating the music parts of the fillmore acid test tape, i think this might be the new earliest semi-conclusively-dated bit of circulating live dead. unless it's not! (there's also an uncirculated tape of 1/7.)

yes, that's true, there's the uncirculated 1/7. redrafting!

a tape piece, apparently. could be wrong, but i don't think it's ever circulated?

properly giggled at this: at the same 1964 concert where he premiered "in c," terry riley also premiered a piece called "in b-flat or is it a-flat?"

Don't let randos into your chats, sure, solid advice

But DO let them into your contrived honeypot chats filled with your most competent shitposters spinning increasingly ridiculous yarns to hold their attention.

Putting on my first live event since 2018(!?!) this Sunday in beautiful Gardiner in the foothills of the Shawangunks. I’ll be DJing, we got a band, firepits, and plenty of fun stuff for kids. Also, food and coffee. Choogle up/down/out and please share with your heady friends.

excited & honored to be on the roster of guest presenters for the latest iteration of @dgans.bsky.social's online dead course this spring.

leon gast & the documentary crew that filmed "when we were kings" & "soul power" went from zaire to winterland a few weeks later & shot the GD movie (& got crazy dosed). haven't figured out for sure, but i don't think they went back to zaire for the rescheduled fight itself.

you know the GD connection?

one takeaway is that, while alice coltrane wasn't a road warrior, she played fairly regularly through the '70s & '80s & there HAVE to be more tapes waiting to be rediscovered & digitized. while @andybeta.bsky.social's documents ample jazzhead misogyny, i refuse to believe it extended to all tapers.
