ALOHA!
Finishing up listening to DINNER JAZZ on CJRT Toronto. Sticking around for JOE'S JAZZ on the same station. I've been going since 6 AM this morning and just got home at 8:30 so I'm too beat to pick out my own Jazz.
Freddie Hubbard - Backlash -
Tidal 16/44
Echoes and Eric
You are a very fortunate man to have had a Jazz musician like Eddie Locke share such priceless gems with you.
He was a second father to me. I miss him everyday...
I'm sure. But at least you have the memories to cherish.
I was streaming the morning Birdflight with Phil Schapp show this morning on WKCR 89.9. He was announcing a special event on Friday at 7-9. I did my usual time and date check to see if it was a pre-recorded show and to my surprise he was live. I know he’s on the tail end of his career, by his own admission, slowing down his pace to let younger folks take over. The special event will be someone from afar, ( didn’t know the name ) coming to the studio to offer commentary on jazz pieces ranging from Louie Armstrong , to ???? ( didnt catch it ). There you have it. A bit long winded but thought it might be of interest in case it hasn’t been covered yet. ( I’m reading this thread in order, and I’m still back on last Saturday. )
American Recording Society G 413 The Urbane Jazz of Roy Eldridge and Benny Carter. From 1957, and sounding fantastic in mono!
I agree on the mainland. I own a HOME in Florida. But in Hawaii, only the VERY wealthy can afford a brick and mortar home. The one thing we don't have in abundance is land. Everyone else (other than the very wealthy) live in either in a condo or apartment. 2 Bedroom condos with a view are now close to the cost of a Moon shot. I'm glad we bought ours when we did, especially since ours has a great view and is 3 bedroom. We'd not be able to afford it today. A 2 bedroom HOUSE with a view in Hawaii? The price is somewhere passing Pluto and leaving the solar system. A 3 bedroom with a view's price would be leaving the known galactic universe.
I remember when we bought our Condo, about the same time as Jack Lord's Condo (Hawaii Five-O) in Kahala was being sold. It was listed for 2 mil, but sold for 800k because it had not been upgraded since Jack Lord bought it in the mid 70s. It needed a ton of work to make it decent. Anyway, I thought "Holy Cow, 800 grand for a condo that needs that much work?" How times have chanced. Today, that would be a SUPREME bargain, even with huge work involved to upgrade it. Especially for beachfront in Kahala. You'd not touch a beachfront condo there for under 3 mil. And those probably need a little work.
Everything seems ok on my end.Is anyone else having this problem? New Posts and Forums are listed in a strange new way on my computer. But on my phone they are fine.

Billy,
Agree Hawaii is almost another world. My only visit, we rented a red Firebird convertable. Smile when I remember lovely evening drives with top down.
