Is Living Room the next genre of 60's music?

They might have practiced in the garage, but they performed in the living room.  Back From The Grave?  Nope, Back From The Kitchen.  Eat your hear out.

Kodachrome

I love Kodachrome.  There is not much on earth I find more beautiful than a Kodachrome slide from the 1940's/1950's/1960's.  I've been collecting Kodachrome for something like 15 years now.  Other slides are great, too, but the other types tend not to hold up will over time, unlike Kodak's stellar Kodachrome.  When I get a good batch of slides, I guess I'll post them here.  As of now, there is not one person following the blog, not even me!  So, out of the shoe box and upload online where they can be ignored by millions!

Newest batch of Jazz EPs

Couple more Cal Tjader EPs, one on Fantasy Records and one on Savoy (that one is autographed!)  Also a sorta hard to find Charlie Mariano EP on Fantasy.

Great little book

My latest acquisition.  I just picked up this cool little book last night.  A decent read so far, and man oh man, what a cover!  Here is Ralph Raymond's Heir by Horatio Alger, Jr.:

A good find




I've always been a big Cal Tjader fan.  Heck, this blog was supposed to be called Tjaded but someone already has it.  A nice little gem of an EP made it my way yesterday--it has the earlier version of Wachi Wara (Soul Sauce) on it, which I like a little more than the better known 60's version on Verve.  It's not in the best shape, but it's not one that comes along too often.  I was happy to get it either way.
