W O W

thats a WHOLE LOTTA RECORDS!

Sorry to here about your father.

man pops was hipper than hip huh

I have about 40-50 vinyls from my dad although I don't have an LP-player anymore so I can't listen to them. They are pretty good though... There is everything there from The Beatles to the Rolling Stones, to Saturday Night Fever, to the Who and even Boney M lol (but no Abba unfortunately)

My condolences on the passing of your father Neil.


Well, we know why you chose a career in music.. apple doesn't fall from the tree when it comes having good taste in music. A gentlman of discernible taste.... What caught my eye of your fathers collection: Wynton Kelly albums, Malia Jackson, Lee Morgan, the soundtrack of South Pacific, and George Shearing featuring Dakota Staton. 8) Dad was a big fan of Mr. Mathis uh?


Big, big, big fan of Ms. Staton, a singer who kinda got lost in the shuffle.... her career should have been much bigger.

P.S. Don't think for a minute I didn't see Sarah Vaughan - Sings George Gershwin - 2 LPs (Classic!), Paul Robeson - Ballad for Americans, Marian Anderson - Ave Maria, MLK & Malcolm recordings. Historic and special.

Happy New Year Everyone !

co-

That is a first class collection. Your father had great taste, hopefully you will treat those records with the respect they deserve.

I'm sorry for your loss...much love and prayers to you,

I inherited dozens of vinyl gems from my mom when she passed in '05...great music and a great rememberance.

there's too many to list them all, but here's a few...

John Coltrane
Charlie Parker
Billy Eckstine, (her favorite singer)
Sarah Vaughn
Billie Holiday
BB King
Harry Belafonte
Nina Simone
Dizzy Gillespie

Cherish your memories!

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.

It's not hard to see that they were raised on hipness and a love for music. Kids today aren't raised on that these days it's a shame

IAintTheOne said:

Brother ness, that's an interesting observation... about being raised in an environment of hipness.

I'm sure that a love for music is still strong in many households and its above my paygrade to say exactly what should be loved, but hipness?

Is it even there anymore? What music is hip today? Is there any new music that would qualify or do we need to just try to keep exposing our kids to the real stuff like in tA's collection.

And tA, I don't mean to hijack your thread here. That's just how ness's comment hit me.

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!"

If you want to catalog them - analogapartment.com has an easy free application for ordering vinyl.

It's easy to see where TheAudience gets his style and class from.

Sorry for your loss...

Nothing touches me like Jazz and what was it about the simplicity of old jazz records artwork that just captivates me?

Amazing taste to make you the amazing person you are.

Hope everything else is alright...

I had to make myself stop tripping off of each selection and just plow through it.

excellent collections

To those that commented on my Dad's passing, thank you.
It's been a few months now and he was active until the end (well into his 80s).

wouldnt mind pickin up that best of Gil Scott

Sorry to hear this, Neal. I didn't realize he died recently. These things are never easy, but if your dad was even the slighest bit like you he musta been something special. 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?

I'm pretty sure those Johnny Mathis records were acquired for my Mother's sake.
She was a big fan of the popular vocalists of the day and he was one of her favorites.

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.

Thanks.

That's a given.
Some of these might be considered collector's items.
