Who Did You Just See Live?
Well, it's been about a month now (haven't been Lounging much), but, Charles Bradley... His is an AMAZING inspirational story... Of Course, brought my copy of his new vinyl LP for an autograph; The Most Genuinely Appreciative-Of-His-Fans musician I've EVER had the pleasure of meeting... He had...- Cousin Hepcat

Ray Winder Field (1932) Gone by Friday
Yes, condolances, Dixie, on Ray Winder Field. Just SAD. My first job was at the concession stand at the old Durham Bulls (North Carolina) baseball park, LOVED it -- free games, good folks, free lemonade- or peach-slushies (my job at the stand), what more could a kid want, I couldn't believe...- Cousin Hepcat

QUESTION: Popularity in FRANCE of 1930s-1940s vintage styles
Can anyone comment on the current [or "recent"] popularity in FRANCE of 1930s-1940s vintage styles? (i.e. the popularity of Movies, Music, & Clothes from those decades) Does anyone know of any French-speaking equivalent of the Fedora Lounge? (tried googling "France 1930s[1940s] forum", no...- Cousin Hepcat

Great selection John, I've enjoyed every Waits song I can recall hearing; really need to go ahead and get a compilation rather than just buying individual MP3s... Too much fun, V.C.- reminds me of a British version of some of those Stan Freberg records... WISH I had more time to hang out...- Cousin Hepcat

....and I, for one, am perfectly O.K. with that... Cool selection BTW, had previously only heard the Lunceford version... Suits Lover, you're right on target for some of the best of swing-era popular music there. I had been a hardcore 20s-50s record collector for a while, then quit for a...- Cousin Hepcat

In-deed - Good Taste ;) . I'm a big fan of Hawk's, especially how he was a downright Decent Guy, and the first one to give another favorite musician of mine, Thelonious Monk, his first break into making records as a sideman/guest pianist on several sides with Hawk's band in the '40s. If you...- Cousin Hepcat

AWESOME video; thanks Connery!... and What A Bonus: Flip Phillips is one of my ALL-TIME faves, got a stack of his stuff "this high"... And how about Phillips' infamous JATP "Perdido" solo, WOW... Jazz Purists may thumb their noses for it as "pandering to the masses", but this is one of...- Cousin Hepcat

Haaa, that's been my favorite of all of Hawk's 1940s recordings since I first heard it on a compilation CD in high school. Another close second, recorded at the Same December 11th, 1947 session (the 1956 date on this youtube video is wrong), "How Strange"-- although it's a bit darker...- Cousin Hepcat

YES-IN-DEED... Nick Curran puts out Great Music. That's easy... There're tons of those newly-made on the market. From the little tabletop foot-tall Chinese cheapies for about a hundred on the 'Bay, to the full-sized exact replicas of the original Wurlitzers with working bubble tubes and color...- Cousin Hepcat

Bing Crosby
I'll second that. Bing is the One Exception to my general tendancy of not liking the artistic output of people who were ... "rascals"... by many accounts... (He ticked off WC Fields when he tried behind Fields' back to get a movie editor to cut out Fields' screentime and add to his own...- Cousin Hepcat

An Artie Shaw tune that just "struck a chord" with me and which I'd been seeking on 78 for the jukebox a while, when a youtube record-trading friend mailed me a 78 copy about a year ago, and posted the CD cut on his channel... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp7_KW1r3RY ... and my nomination...- Cousin Hepcat

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Agreed - bad to the point of being depressing to watch, not even due to the storyline. On the other hand, recently saw on Netflix Streaming, the "B" movie comedy/Mystery/Romance flick "Detective Kitty O'Day" (1944) (Not to be confused with the not-as-good 1945 sequel, "The Adventures of Kitty...- Cousin Hepcat

Glad you like - If you're a vinyl (& shellac) record addict like me, Bradley's got several vinyl singles & an LP album available (daptone records website) - I just ordered a couple of his 45's, the one from that video, and one for future Christmas holidays...- Cousin Hepcat

Love those c. 1933-34 "almost-swing" bands... (although there were some which were already in full swing by then, before Goodman rose to fame) Been on a big Jan Garber kick lately, both his hotter earlier stuff, and his later c. 1939-40 sweeter Brunswick stuff (one of the first 78s I ever got...- Cousin Hepcat
