    R&B

    I just picked up Jim Wynn 1945-1946. Some nice early jump...very Jordanesque. The only tracks I had heard before were "Buzz, Buzz, Buzz" with Claude Trenier (one of his 4 tracks on this cd) and Wynn's "Ee-Bobaliba"-later covered by Helen Humes. Highly recommended.

    SOLD: 30's-40's houndstooth suit

    Unfortunately, the measurements don't work out for me or I'd grab it.

    My first vintage tie: Is this how to wear it?

    I just wanted to seconds Marc's opinion. I'd go about an inch, or maybe even more, longer. Try to keep maybe an inch or two of shirt showing.

    SOLD: 30's-40's houndstooth suit

    I am also interested, if it does not for Sefton & the measurements work. I've been looking for one like this for quite a while.

    R&B

    The Stompin' series is great. Certainly not a starting point, but I love discovering a "new" artist from their corp of obscurities.

    R&B

    All the above are certainly considered classics. If you want to build a R&B collection you must also have... Louis Jordan Roy Brown Big Joe Turner Jay McNeely Joe Houston Calvin Boze Charles Brown Floyd Dixon Roy Milton Joe Liggins Jimmy Liggins Percy Mayfield (early '50s stuff)...

    Vintage shopping in Chicago?

    Well said, Jerome. I just don't have as much time to get down to Chicago as I used to...kids & all. You know. I feel like I used to know everyone down there. Now it feels like I am starting over.

    Ultimate EASTMAN (ELC) flying kit thread.

    I always get excited to receive a package in the mail. In this case, the packaging itself is truly remarkable. I'm sure it's hard to contain your excitement.

    Vintage shopping in Chicago?

    Well, no luck this weekend. Night & Day is a real nice place. I walk in and was immediately greeted and offered a cup of tea. In talking with the owner, it turns out she is friends with friends of mine. But, no purchases were made. I looked at shoes, leather jackets, shirts, Hollywood-style...

    Belts and Belt Buckles

    I just bought a thin belt from el pachuco. In my opinion, much nicer than the one I have from rockabillybelts. I still need one in brown, and I probably need a white belt to wear with my bucks.

    Estate sales, what to pay?

    Our newspapers run classified listings for estate sales. In my experience, most prices are marked. I also agree with what has already been stated, negotiate a price you are happy with. In most cases, they are just eager to get rid of as much as possible. I have seen, however, the estate...
