Lola at the Coffee House

I bought a Bang and Olafsen turntable (the lowest price of their five choices) just about the time that cd's were pumping into the stores. Late to the party, as usual.

Which scotch are we having this evening?

It's interesting that the You Tube page with that Hurricane video also showed this one listed on the side of the page--I see no connection between the two videos, but I've always been a very big Maynard fan and I saw him perform several times at the old Birdland and elsewhere. So I was delighted to suddenly come upon this one.


The last time I saw Maynard was at a theater somewhere and we were seated in the mezzanine. Maynard had left the stage while the band continued playing, and he suddenly appeared about 12 feet from me and began playing from there. You ain't heard nothing until you've heard Maynard hit those screaming high notes when he's that close to you. Yowzie! It was an incredibly thrilling experience.

Several of Maynard's albums are with my old record stash--it's a very eclectic stash.

Strange Maynard should have popped up on that page with Hurricane, but I was happy to be unexpectedly reminded of him.

Ok, I'll post it. It's a very ordinary list, with a few exceptions I'll mention somewhere, in some afterpost. I'll figure out some way to flag the albums I probably bought at that thrift store and still haven't played.

Back some other time with cds, bound to bore the lot of you. My public radio dj friend was a jazz pianist, had a cd collection that was serious.* Mine, records, tapes, cds, just what I liked at the time, a non-musician. Music can really get me though.

*Trouble was, in his cups, he always played Sinatra. I'm the only human in the western world who avoids Sinatra.

Youtube will post things on the right side that are connected in some way to what you've watched in the past - not the link you've followed in.

Pretty much all of the other videos on the right side were Dylan, and I never watch Dylan. I'm also on a brand new computer and I don't think I'm signed into You Tube. Maybe I am signed in without realizing it.

You may be right, but I'm happy to think of finding Maynard as serendipity, since that was the way I felt when I spotted that video.

what no Gorecki??

I alwasys tried to play like Gabor Szabo, areally great guitarist he was.

I ddnt know there was any one else who appreciated Bola Sete

CHILDREN OF SANCHEZ album is a classic. one of the las of the really great epic analog recordings, like Dark of the Moon or Bernsteins rendidtion of the Fifth Symphony, or E POWER BIGGS doing all the Brandenburg's.
Or even TUBULAR BELLS

One does not have to be signed into YouTube to see those other videos Osso referenced.

I have a lot of Sinatra in my stash, but I'm probably the only person from that era who never bought a Beatles album. I liked them, just never bought their albums. I never liked the Stones, at all, until relatively recently. But I must have worn out my Simon and Garfunkel records because I played them so often. Same was true of my classical and opera and folk albums.

I don't know whether I'd be happy with the sound of records after listening to CD's for so long. Some people seem to prefer the sound of records, but it's been so long since I've played one, I just don't know.

Now this was heroism.

records are clearly superior sound. The only thing CDs had going was scratch and dent sound removal. "electronic digital sampling is like skipping at least half (and prolly more) of the actual sound track. wheras analog is fully there . I wish Ida saved more records.

Diane likes him too. She connected him to (was it?) Vince Giraldi, which was true but I didn't know that.

We were talking about him recently, and I mentioned the uh uh uh uh, and she knew right away who was doing that.

You are not osso.

Children of Sanchez is a book important to my growing up. Wonder if there is a connection.

Who's Gorecki (dumb, I told you I am dumb)?

You should hear me doing Star Spangled Banner in a heavy Lancashire accent wearing nothing but a Telecaster and a Kiss Me Quick hat.

I saw/heard Szabo a few times in Hollywood, forget the venue name, small place. Small room, surround sound by virtue of the place.

Snort, this was two older women at the donut/coffee shop. Some coffee shop talks are interesting. We didn't know both of us liked Bola Sete either.

What's that supposed to mean ff? I didn't post the rest on account of how embarrassing it all is. I didn't wish to inflict the sort of cringing I endured reading the rest of the tripe on Lola's customers.



It is very difficult, possibly catastrophic, to build homes for 200 million folks, I'm guessing the number actually, at prices they can't afford. What do you suggest. Country mansions in rolling parkland with deer grazing in the meadows at $40 grand a go.

You're such a snob girl.



Where did you get a silly idea like that from. I said recently that I'm so average I'm unique.

I hate that ******* song nearly as much as I hate My Way.
