Sorry to hear about your dad, Neal. I didn't realize he had passed. 
Excellent collection!!! So many greats -- I was wondering if any of these stood out more than others as part of your formative soundtrack? ... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

Thanks. That's a given. Some of these might be considered collector's items. Music for adventurous listeners tA Tribal RecordsOur fathers must have been separated at birth. He has some of those in his stash, too. As a kid, I loved when he'd put on 'Sam Cooke at the Copa'. Any Belafonte or Nancy Wilson in the collection? My dad used to play their LPs all the time. |

vainandy said: So sorry to hear about your loss. You've got a great collection of memories there. I noticed you even listed some 78s. I hope you have a turntable with a 78 speed. I haven't seen very many of them these days.
I'm working on that. My main concern right now is protecting them from damage. I've got some high quality 78 binders on order. I had to trash an Erroll Garner 78 that didn't survive the journey from NYC to L.A.

DakutiusMaximus said: Do you have children? If you do, Lord knows they are gonna keep the vibe alive. it musta been way cool to be raised up with that caliber of sounds going on in the background all the time. And if this was the half you got one can only imagine what your brother wound up with but that's cool, cuz you can always go over to each other's cribs and visit the other half of your pop's collection. I lost a lot of my vinyl ages ago in various cross country moves and what not. I'm ashamed to say I can't even remember what happened to some portions of it. That's sad in a way as now I can see the value in preserving that great old stuff to pass on to my daughter. I still got some but man, I lost way more. Big respect for your dad, tA. And great good fortune for you as I know you were soaking up those influences from the masters even before you had any idea of what "soaking up influences" even meant. (BTW, if any a y'all roun here aint heard tA play his geetar ya gotsta check his shit out by clicking on the link at the bottom of his posts. search Tribal Disorder). This thread has been a most pleasant surprise to accompany my cuppa joe this morning. You really took me on a journey with your care-full compilation of your dad's music... and comedy. Kermit Shafer's bloopers from the days before the invention of the censor's delay button and Lord Buckley, OMG, that's some good shit there. For those orgers who have no idea who Lord Buckley was here's a youtube clip of his take on the Dicken's Christmas story of Scrooge and Cratchit. Description of clip: "The Lord beith who he beith. His rap? Well, a superfluity of words, as in writing or free-flight speech; wordiness; verbosity...sweet verbosity. Lord Buckley was a weirdly-cool, rapturous American monologist. Man, like...within his solos, words flowed through his lips like inspired notes wafting from the bell of a saxophone. He chose and riffed verbiage with the proficiency a seasoned sax player chooses and blows notes to pepper musical phrases in a free-form solo. Yeah! Like that. Charlie Parker meets Mark Twain!" Thanks man. I tried to keep the "good stuff" in the air around the house just as my Dad did when I was growing up. Not to force anything on my kids, but just so that it sinks in subconsciously as it did me. For me, it made me see Jazz/Classical/Opera as nothing strange, odd or uncool. Hopefully it does the same for them. A lot of these albums I was aware of growing up, but many of them I had no idea they existed at the time.

Wow....what a tremendous legacy he left for you. No gift is any greater than the gift of music....and the appreciation of it, as well.

INFO: http://ces.cnet.com/2300-...mncol;page  
Here's the turntable I use to upload my records to my notebook/YouTube. Price is reasonable and it plays 78's. Just incase you wanna share that fine collection of history/music with the world.  This is one (or something similar) I may have to consider because of the USB possibilities.

Now,Ima tell you something, son.Those Mathis records likely came out after the kids were asleep.  Yeah, probably.

RipHer2Shreds said: If I'm remembering correctly, you told me at one time that the Basin Street album reminded you of your father. The Stan Kenton and Max Roach album (Lift Every Voice...) caught my eye. Any good?
It was the fact that the particular record seemed to be in front of the pile most of the time. 
Since I was trying to learn to play drums, I was fascinated by the picture of Max Roach peering out from behind that sparkly drum kit.
Regarding Lift Every Voice and Sing, I haven't heard it in a while so I checked out a few samples and YES it's very good. Music for adventurous listeners tA Tribal Records"Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |
