Song:
"Song of the Countrymen" by "Rahsaan Roland Kirk"
Never seen this "Complete" box (have a bunch of the Mercs, but this is tempting). Seems to not have been a US reissue, from my quick search (none of the sets on Discogs are shipped from the US, makes me think it's European or Japanese). Great track (Love Rahsaan)!

Also, hello, Irene and lizzners!
Hey Andrew, not until October 9th and 10th at Smalls 2 sets starting at 9 and 10:30, respectively. Did a new recording last Wednesday...will take a while to edit and mix...got another recording project with horns, but logistics need to be worked out down the road which will take a bit.

Hello Irene, fellow listeners. I just had some major dental work this morning. A difficult tooth extraction. Yes, on Memorial Day. Right now, I'm feeling pretty beaten up and left for dead. Maybe that's appropriate for this holiday. No, I'm not a veteran.

Peter K.:
What an opening set! Moondog and Miles AND the Tijuana Brass. Music to remember on Memorial Day!
He was my biological mother's brother. I never met her and I obviously never met him, but I think of him today. Shout-out to your patriotic parents in the pic!

Buen diía from south of border. After hours of Dylan and now entering the endless Miles week.... no complaints. Gonna do a 4-hour ¨Kilometers of Miles¨on Sunday in my own program on Radio Nopal here in Mx City. The problem is choosing selections!
Thanks. The anesthetic is just wearing off now. The pain isn't terrible; worse is the lingering bleeding and taste of blood in my mouth. I've had teeth extracted before, so I know the drill. (No pun intended.)

What bums me about Memorial Day is the unnecessary loss of life based on lies, an invisible man in the sky, ancient dirt on the ground, chiming into indigenous people's business for political and/or financial gain for those who already have too much...it's The Sharks and The Jets on steroids! Except for WW I&II, Civil, and the Revolutionary wars, 'merica has a way of making a racket via unsuspecting youngsters whose pre-frontal cortex hasn't kicked in fast enough to tell them how utterly eff'd up their plight will be all for nothing! Making a racket with a fuzz tone pedal would be a lot cheaper and much less deadly. Such a shame!

Inspiration for all of us who don't have great voices! (Of course, if I could write songs as well as either Lee H. or Leonard C., it wouldn't matter that I can't sing.)
You can't intimidate me, sing away!-all my in laws LOVE to sing...and can't sing 2 notes in tune (except MsJazz, who somehow escaped tone-deafness). I'm ready for it (I credit it for getting me to appreciate free/atonal jazz and other dissonant music...)

And speaking of people with less-than-perfect voices, let's always remember that Leo Kottke once said his voice sounded like "geese farts on a muggy day." (Yes, "geese" and not "goose.") And I love Leo's voice too!
I saw him once at the Bottom Line, too. I remember him being obsessed with getting a guitar line just right.

Got to a house concert this past Saturday, Don Dixon and Peter Holsapple. They played a song I think is great, the old dBs track Amplifier. Ahhh...
It was in Philly (a bit of a schlep), and a small group (it was for the host's birthday). But I'll let you know if I hear of any other similar concerts.
