Rok, although I hate to go from "jazz" to other issues, this time I must. While I like gospel, that CD "Say Amen Somebody", and my fond memories of what St. Louis was like at that time, the demise of St. Louis, ain't about "The Lord", it's about g...

Rok, she's from St. Louis. Although she was born in Mississippi, St. Louis is where she became famous, and her star is on the St. Louis walk of fame. I recall seeing the video on PBS with her and Thomas Dorsey; that was when St. Louis was an entir...

This is one of the most beautiful albums ever made; Bill Evans, and Toots Thielman "Affinity". Toots said this is his best work, and as many fantastic works as he has produced, that's saying a lot. Here's my favorite cut on that fantastic album, "...

Rok, I could live without the commentary as well, but it's recorded on something I have. In regard to organizing, that's something I dread even attempting, let my heirs organize. Acman3, I sold some Cedar Walton LP's and a CD at what I thought was...

Rok, here's tune that was going strong at about the same time "Ode To Billy Joe" was hot, you might like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwvWKcNE0cIEnjoy the music.

Rok, "Besame Mucho" has special meaning for me, it brings back memories of Victoria Gomez in the 6th grade. I sat at the desk behind her, and those long braids that sometimes flowed across my desk. When I heard that song, it caused me to fantasize...
