A Few Vinyl Albums For Sale

George Grand

Bill,

The original list on the first page is current, and now I'm hungry (moussaka!). Thanks for asking. I have more to add to the list, and will soon. I've been distracted lately by that troublesome thing called work, and ripping down my existing fence in prep for the new one. I'll get on it.

Glad the albums made it safely Cliff. thanks for the notice, and the patronage. You da man.

Codder, the same thing happened the night I saw Cobham vs Alphonse Mouzon at either Avery Fisher Hall or Philharmonic Hall in N.Y.C. It was the band that he used for Total Eclipse, and just as you described, the stage was littered with busted sticks. Awesome demonstration of ambidexterity. No twisting around to reach this or that, and a perfect center of gravity. After that night, Alphonse Mouzon faded into obscurity. I think every other person in the audience that night was a drummer. It was the long awaited battle between them, and Cobly Bilham reigned supreme.

George, PM sent...

Not really any good Greek restaraunts in the South. I haven't had any good moussaka since I moved from the Detroit area 10+ years ago!

Recently friends took the wife and I to one in Shieveport, LA of all places. A place you'd never look twice at (converted gas station). The moussaka, pastitsio and stuffed cabbage were all top notch, and were washed down with a nice Greek wine.

Just hold the grape leaves, please,

George Grand

You guys haven't lived till you've had avgolemon soup. I grew up on those stuffed grape leaves Bruce. To me, there is no finer food. A great many people have no real experience with freshly made ones. Even a lot of restaurants serve the ones that come out of a can. Those are f%cking handsome. All slimy and oily and crap. Terrible.

There was a great Greek restaurant and grocery not far from my old home in the Brookside area of Kansas City (Tassio's, as I recall.) They always had a poker game going on in the back of the store on Friday night (another weakness.) I've yet to experience a Greek restaurant of that caliber here in Maryland. I'm sure it must exist.

Being a meat and potato sort, this was my dish of choice. Greeks know how to prepare lamb to perfection.

Lotta dumb Greeks in the MD/DC area if I remember Blue. Shouldn't be too hard to get a good dish. That's a good looking image you posted.

My father just took my sister and Stephie on a 3 week trip to Greece. They stayed a couple days in Athens, couple days in Larissa, and then the balance on Crete. I wish I could've gone. According to my dad, all my relatives on Crete treated Stephie like a goddess. I'm so freakin' jealous, but at the same time delighted that she got to see her heritage.

BlueMDPicker

Yeah, I wish I could have gone on that trip!

The KC establishment is Tasso's and those old Greeks would probably run me out of the back room poker game if they heard me adding a vowel to it.

Damn, busted! I didn't think anyone would find out about the belly dancers. Of course, I just frequented the place for the great food.

faster100

what else ya got George?

George Grand

I will sort some stuff this morning and afternoon, and then add it to the original list at the very beginning of this thread. I may have to give FredV dibs on all selections though. I shipped him two packages strapped together for a total of about 18 albums, and they haven't arrived at his location yet. They should have.

faster100

of course no problem.. sorry to hear, lemme know all the same.. Thanks

George Grand

I updated the list at the very beginning of the thread with new vinyl.

FredV,

None of the ones that I pulled out as a make-up shipment for you are on the list. In some cases I made exact replacements on your shipment.

Thanks everybody.

Hi George,

The second package just arrived after in "enroute" (in a city that is lesser than
30 miles away) for 10 days :-)

Again, thank you for the album collection!!!

billbillw

George,
I cannot find a self titled album from Men at Work. Could it be "Contraband: The Best of...?"
If the Men at Work is "Contraband: The Best of...", or "Business as Usual", I will claim it. Any others and I'll pass on it.

I'd also like the James Taylor:JT album.

That will wrap it up for me. PM the final details.

audiobliss

Ooh, I missed the Men at Work album; good stuff there.

George Grand

FredV, that is great news! Two packages strapped together right? Tell me I don't have to send you a make-up shipment.

BillbillW I read you and it is "Business as Usual". JT too.

George Grand
