  1. Good morning.  I pulled out my copy and it appears to be the 1961 pressing.

    I put it on briefly - it’s a little early in the morning here for Coltrane.  😜

  2. Most anyone over the age of 60 remembers the Singing Nun album and maybe the Debbie Reynolds movie.   The true and tragic story is quite different and compelling.  A beautiful album and beautiful spirit.

    Jeanne-Paule Marie "Jeannine" Deckers (17 October 1933[1] – 29 March 1985), better known as Sœur Sourire (French for ''Sister Smile'') and often called The Singing Nun in English-speaking countries, was a Belgian singer-songwriter and a member of the Dominican Order in Belgium as Sister Luc Gabriel. She acquired widespread fame in 1963 with the release of the Belgian French song "Dominique", which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and other charts. Owing to confusion over the terms of the recording contract, she was reduced to poverty, and also experienced a crisis of faith, quitting the order, though still remaining a Catholic. She committed suicide with her lifelong partner, Annie Pécher.

  4. Every morning for the past couple of weeks a Russian guy buys a newspaper from his local Moscow news stand.

    Every morning he glances at the front page and tosses the newspaper straight in the garbage bin.

    Today the newspaper seller just couldn't contain his curiosity any longer "Hey Mr.... I noticed that each morning you buy a newspaper... just take a quick look at it... and throw it away!!  Why... why do you do that??"

    "I'm searching for the obituaries"

    "But Mr... obituaries aren't on the front page!!!"

    "The one I'm searching for will be....."

  5. This one is very good too.  Mono on vintage Bell Sound vinyl.  Is there a significant difference between Van Gelder and Bell Sound vinyl pressings?  Whatever, this lp sounds really nice.

    Someday they'll show.   Maybe.  They don't even show here.  I'm too picky!  😂

     

    Yea, gotta get that count up!  As if!  😂  I'm still waiting on my toaster...


    Don’t hold your breath.  I suggested a toaster prize 15 years ago when I had 1,559 posts.  I even offered a cool design.  
     

    Still waiting for it. 😠
