I took my wife to see John Pizzarelli at Yoshi's in Oakland, CA last year. It was an amazing show and we had a great time. I'd definitely see him again. Such a relaxed stage presence. His hands look like they're not even working when he plays.

Sometimes, you just need to kick it old-school.

Kicking back a cold one and enjoying my second day off in a row after working 7 days a week straight since mid-February, enjoying Robert Plant & Jimmy Page's 'No Quarter' Unledded DVD ... DTS.

No work tomorrow or Sunday either. I'm stoked!

Tonight the thoughts of Memorial Day led me to again listen to the great music Richard Rodgers composed for the old TV series Victory at Sea . Dramatic and at times beautiful and moving, especially when we think of all the guys and gals who didn't come back to enjoy the great life that's available to us.

Jeez, John! That's a real blast from the past. I remember watching Victory At Sea on TV when I was a kid. Great show; great music. Being a WWII history buff, I'd like to go back and watch them again.

Jack, a three DVD set of the entire series is available now with of course mediocre picture and sound quality from 1952 when it first was shown. The CDs of Rodgers's great score were recorded years later in fairly good stereo.

Incidentally, did you happen to get that Gershwin collection?

Funny you should ask about the Gershwin. I just got this email

"The following item(s) from your order, 5774409 has been canceled because stock is no longer available or per your request. Please be aware that an "Add to Bag" button does not guarantee an item will be available, but we do make every attempt to completely fulfill orders.

The following item(s) has been canceled:

1 CD Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue, Cuban Overture, etc / Marshall 12.74
Ships Within 5 Days
"

Mumble grumble!

I've done some searching and they all say pretty much the same thing - "back-ordered" or "no longer available," etc. I fear it's out of print, so to speak. DRAT!

Okay, Jack, the set is essential, so go to Crotchet and in the keyword search box at the top type 5620562, which is the catalog number. They should definitely be able to ship it right out. If you have any problem let me know.

Victory at sea is a set I'd really like to get! One of the first series on TV that brings back tons of good memories! The music was the first! The announcers voice alone was extreemly noteworth and perfectly matched to the program, and the action certainly helped me decide on joining the Navy ten years later in '62.

Great series!
Rich.
