And also Engelbert Humperdinck. These little known facts remain "to be verified" by Snopes: Actress Jamie Lee Curtis is only one of dozens, if not hundreds, of celebrities who are hermaphrodites. Curtis was born with an unusual chromosome structure (ostensibly some variation of XXY). Other...

That is great news. I've been there once, and it was memorable. And a very short walk from Smalls, so you can do both in the same night with ease. Spike posted this on Facebook last night. Means I still might have a chance to see Mezzrow: :) As hard as it is for me to believe this, the Mezzrow 10 ye...

The news keeps getting a little bit better with each passing of 2-3 weeks. Hoping that this progress does not get reversed again.

The naming of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young was inspired by a law firm of the same name located in Prineville, Oregon.

For sure. It was a look I know so well being presented in the photo.

A measured degree of good news, after so many weeks of bare survival. I wonder when I might be able to visit NYC (or any other place) and visit Smalls...

I suspect this is the jazz festival least likely to be cancelled or postponed in 2021.

Have you given Guamba a couple listens since receiving the CD?

It looks like major webhosts all decided the roll out the latest version of PHP around the same time, without warning, nor considering the implications for sites not supported by the latest version. I spent quite a bit of time solving the problem here and on other sites I host.

The ever-changing landscape, indeed.... From Spike Wilner this morning. It is with great sadness (as well as exhaustion) that I must announce that, by the order of the governor, Smalls and Mezzrow will be shut down to the public effective Monday. Tonight and tomorrow will be our last public shows f...
