WHOOP! I have conquered my wife's craptastic tech puzzler -- wireless printer settings! Now I can listen to this show in peace for a couple hours before heading to work to train a new employee. Peace 'n' love!
Embarrassing but kind of funny: Jeff asked if I had a copy of that Roland P. Young. Which I did and emailed to him along with a snarky comment about it "not being as good as it ought to be."
The egg on my face has been lightly scrambled with capers and scallions. Please, everyone, dig in.
Jeff, that photograph of your in-laws looks to be, at the very least, professional portraiture and quite possibly, fashion photography. Was your mother-in-law given to fits of professional modeling?
UM: I don't think there was any pro modeling happening, though there are a few other great pro shots that we have.
One thing we've been talking about are all of the stories/arcane knowledge we've lost w/ her passing. Like, they vacationed in pre-Castro Cuba with Peter Falk. That's all I know about that trip. They lived in the Chelsea Hotel for a time when my wife was very young. Etc etc.
Yes, Susie is from SoCal. She married another musician (2nd marriage?) and they then went to Houston. I haven't heard anything since then. I suppose I could ask some of my friends thee next time I see them.
There's random a cappella performance of "I Only Have Eyes" in the movie "Pi," echoing through the spaces of a NYC subway station. Combined with the claustrophobic mood and, literally, the space in which it's delivered, it's more than faintly sinister in its context.
It's just a brief moment amid a movie with quite a number of weird moments, but hearing that song reminded me of it. IIRC the performer was Aronofsky's father or F-I-L.
I think that was Jeff J on last week's show. I am somewhat embarrassed to say that I really haven't spent any time listening to WR...

Dean:
shorter wayne's identified records by WR are well worth spinning. Reminds me of a friend who, despite having very wide exposure to all kinds of music, had never gotten around to Mahavishnu Orchestra's Birds of Fire. Once he did he understood what all the shouting was about.
Dean/Doug/doca/Carm: For me, it has been the free-floating "conventional wisdom" that WR is not worth checking out that has (shamefully) kept me from it. I wish that it weren't so. But we gotta make choices, I suppose...
@Carm/Jeff: it's not the commercial thing that I don't like exactly, it is the idea of rock that comes with fusion. I like mixing jazz with everything, but the way it usually does in fusion I think is a poor understanding both of jazz and specially rock music. But then again, I say that knowing only too few of jazz fusion.
And I don't like Mel Tormé, either. But I could see that self-imposed prohibition changing sooner than the WR one. Actually, I have found that the longer I keep moving forward, the more of my biases melt away. Maybe I will just love everything by the time I'm dead.
"Birdland"-era WR got a little silly, but the earlier stuff holds up. Fusion takes a bad rap due to the excess and eccentricities of some (among whom I don't include Miles, but YMMV). Check out Gary Boyle's Isotope with Hugh Hopper. Perfectly tailored.
