We have a first entry each day that is a picture or a video, and only in that entry you can place your music links and requests (NO ALBUMS AFTER 2015 AND A LIMIT OF 3 EVERY DAY)! All the rest official posts will only allow comments related to the official posts and such. That way it will keep things much more organized and tidy.
Enjoy!

CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS 12th October to 18th November Continued
Celebrating Birthdays is a series that continues each Monday in celebration of an artists birthday during the week. It celebrates the birthdays of those who are still active.
It will include at least one album by an artists per day (possibly more). Feel free to add albums by other artists who also celebrate their birthdays on that week. We should end up with a fantasticaly diverse list of posts. We will probably find new artists we may not have in our collections or find artists we dont even know (Yet). As RYP says in his web page welcome "Just For Your Listening Pleasure".
Todays lot are:

Comments are very welcomed, please send them on my blog:
https://professorrnr.blogspot.com
Many thanks for comments already sent, especially for sending tracks from my wish-list of missing ones. Now, this list has been reduced to 20 B-sides for 1960.
Thanks to those who have downloaded and/or commented on my Unproject. It's been a trip listening to some of these compilations for the first time in about 15 years. Today, another spacey/ambient mix starting off with the crowing cock of Michael Stearns's "Morning" into a little Pink Floyd, some Raymond Scott, Carl Stalling, Kraftwerk - y'know, the whole solar system. But it's a big universe. You never know who you'll run into. That's why I call this one--

Link Wray is all over these compilations, as today's main post illustrates. I'm waiting until Ryp runs out of Link Wray to share before I share my homemade (and quite expansive) single disc Link Wray compilation! It has unreleased stuff, live stuff, collaborations with Robert Gordon and Commander Cody, and there's some overlap with these collections--which is another reason to space them out!
If you get a chance to see Robert Gordon live, I say go! He still has the pipes, and he always has a crack backing band--even on "pick-up" gigs. I've seen him three times, and I found him to be worth seeing, if uncomfortable interacting with his fans after the shows. He reluctantly signs his albums for fans (myself included--I admit that I geeked out and brought my vinyl to the first of his shows that I attended).
At the second show, fifty miles from the first and a single night later, I just wanted to say hi, and he walked away from me saying: "Hey, buddy!" over his shoulder, as if he didn't grasp that he'd technically have to stop walking away from me to greet me. :)
Two shows in CA and one in NY with a different, and amazing band each time! The guy attracts great guitar players like honey draws flies. The compilation I put together has Robert playing with Link, Chris Spedding, and Danny Gatton.
- Stinky
Rumor has it that Robert Gordon had his throat slit in a mugging (and I've also heard by a drug dealer) and nearly lost his vocal cords. The rumor continues that his personality changed after that event. Who knows--I've been unable to find anything to corroborate an attack or near-death experience online--but he has a gnarly scar across his neck that lends credence to that story. He may have just had surgery, performed by a doctor who was having a bad day!
Has anyone else heard anything about a (possibly fictional) attack on Robert Gordon about ten years ago?
Have a good one, gang,

@RYP
Just how does clash multiple posting fit into the 3-a-day rule. Surely the poster has breached the regulations - or has he/she been given a royal dispensation?
Something very unfair here, methinks.
Terry Peck,
if I understand correctly, Clash has not broken a rule. I count 3 postings.
@ RYP
Sorry, yes you are correct. Apologies - I didn’t engage brain (senior moment!)

Not heard the Robert Gordon mugging story before, but I can attest to his less than warm personality. I interviewed him decades ago in his prime for my college paper. I wanted to write the article to showcase his unique talent and help him out, but he was nothing less than difficult throughout the process. I gave him an opportunity to discuss his heroes, favorite songwriters and other non-intrusive subjects. What I got was a litany of "yes, no and I dunno" responses and one of the worst interviews I ever had, and I've interviewed some tough folks as a journalist. I also witnessed him up close at several shows in those years, and overheard his cranky comments about the audience made away from the mike, and then watched him put a phony smile on when he turned his face back to the crowd. I got the sense he treated his shows like a chore, and I decided I'd rather pay my money to see others. I still consider myself a fan and love listening to his stuff, especially the Link Wray and Chris Spedding cuts... I didn't realize it then, but I did catch one of Gordon's tours with Danny "The Humbler" Gatton. I knew he was special, and now I'm glad I witnessed a legend at work.
Yawning Angel sez...
@Bindlestiff51, many thanks for more Toussaint!
I did a major interview with him for Vive Le Rock a few months ago. Nothing was mentioned re the throat thing etc.
@ JWDen
Thanks a lot for another "un"-compilation
@ MissMolly
Thank you for Glen Glenn - Rocks
bindlestiff51, thanks for Allen Toussaint.
cheers,ELtel
I’ll try to be short and maybe only a little bit snappy. (Usually if I am too “Clever,” I don’t get “published” by a perturbed or puzzled RYP. . . . Maybe this is why we have “lost” some of our more “creative” writers here on “T-Z!”...)
This “witch hunt” and echoes of McCarthyism witch-hunting running rampant lately here is troubling. A troll will revel in his (I agree on a recent commenter's assessment of his gender...) ability to cause chaos and confusion. I am not Mr. Phil (I refuse to call him Dr. Phil, he is NOT a Doctor...), but this whole “episode” in recent days is straight out of the Usual Suspects / “Troll” play book. As has been seen on various other sites like this one in recent times. Some call the “bluff,” as is seems Our Gracious Hosts have. Some (sadly) choose to “throw in the towel.” We have lost many (VERY sadly) in this manner: Willard’s, J.B.City, vocal group harmony, and now, UncaGil’s. “Farry Hox” playing a part in some of these (web log “closure”) instances.
At any rate (so much for being short)... The chaos causations, Chicken Little confusion, consternation and attendant circling of wagons here brought to mind the old “TWILIGHT ZONE” (irony?) TV show episode where the plot involves Alien invaders adding a bit of this n’ that to a neighborhood, then sitting back and watching the inhabitants self-destruct. If memory serves, “It Happened on Maple Street” was the title of this episode of McCarthyism mayhem mini-saga.
I’ll close (Thank goodness, you say...) by saying I’ve been here long enough to say not only do I miss Johnny Diego, but TOXXY, ProfStoned, and so many others. (I was gonna add a Marks bro to the first part of that list, but those who know of whom I am typing will already know where to find him and his [almost weekly] pithy remarks...)
I am some how reminded of the YEARS and ENDLESS messages and DATA (In Comments) lost the last (?) time the T-Z! vanished. Some of it, like the history and such added by visitors to the “Garage Band” series postings is irreplaceable. In any case, I hope that the “back up” (foreign URL I won’t mention, as the Troll(s)would LOVE that...) T-Z! is still in existence. Beyond that, it makes sense (for RYP) to have SOME other “web presence” to make sure the T-Z! followers can be “kept in the loop” (if the Unimaginable should ever happen)

Robert Gordon almost died in a mugging back in 1995, per this article. No real info on the incident, though: http://www.robertgordon.dk/biography/the-robert-gordon-story.html
@Monty's: thank you for the Roy Harvey. PS re Ethel: I sent you a note via your blog, but (so far as I can tell) wasn't among those given a limited-seating ticket to her plush library. That's okay; someone else got in who wouldn't have, and I'll hold out till that hopefully later date... and will use the time, until then, listening to all the music you've shared. It's all good!
@JWDen: thank you for your latest out-of-this-world compilation... stellar!
@Philo: thank you, as always, for the ongoing CMJ saga.
@Stinky: have a great time away; I imagine you coming back with several more crates of intriguing CDs...
@B._B.: I can agree intellectually with your reasoned perspective on the big bullet that TZ dodged - dud though it seemingly was. But I can't harmonize with the grim tone to your words. With other sites suddenly lost for good, each day RYP and Gyro - and their community - share these fine sounds with us... is a day both sweet and precious, regardless. Having lost my father suddenly fifteen years ago, and nearly my mother as well, a week ago (her heart started back up), I've learned to value each day and moment that beloved people have (had) to share with me and with others. And I'm sure you've said a final (or long-term) farewell to some deeply loved people as well; you understand.
Our lives have already been greatly enriched here in the Zone; if it evaporates tomorrow - through RYP and/or Gyro buying a Greek island and retiring there, or through Big Brother yanking the fuses... we still have that richness we've gained, and are the better for it.
Let's not lose sight - through trepidation or resentment, or whatever else - of the goodness, the greatness, right here onscreen and within wonderfully easy reach. Let's keep the attitude of gratitude (cliché or not) and appreciation; be thankful for all we've gained; and keep our fingers happily crossed for tomorrow. And listen to the music.
Cheers!

By request, I'm beginning several days of sharing Yank Rachell and Sleepy John Estes recordings. Nobody's specified what they want from the lists I posted... so I'm uploading 'em all.
With time really tight, I can't write up, or even crib, bios on these two artists, and critiques of their albums, so I'll leave that as an exercise for the students instead. Artwork's included, except where noted.
[RYP: I hope I recall correctly, that a thirty-track compilation is the maximum allowable size.]
James 'Yank' Rachell (1930-98), part 1 of 2
1943 - Legendary Country-Blues Artist, 1934-42 [30@118-320] (no artwork)
1973 - The Blue Goose Album [11@224]
1986 - Blues Mandolin Man [10@224]

Cheers!
Thank you very much for Les Gams @Searnav. That made my day!
Thanks to JWDEN for the compilations to Clash for 7_22 and to S13 for his nice blog. I have issues with CAPTCHA at his site, RYP forgive me for using your blog to thank another person...
clash, thank you for Jimmy McGriff and Junior Parker.
Steve Davis
Thanks for the skinny on Robert Gordon!

@ Aging Child
You are one of the reasons I come here. You are a gracious gentleman.
I hope you mother is recovering well.
Peace and love to All mothers and their children.
Thanks Searnav for Salut Les Idoles, JWDen for Unexpected Encounters and Philo for yet more CMJ's.
Oh, shucks, Butter - thank you for the kind thought and word... from a real gentleman. Mother was off oxygen, and making smart-aleck comments, that same evening, and seems still to be doing well - better, in fact, than she was even weeks before her heart failure / atrial fibrillation attack. (My current icon/avatar is her father, a hundred years ago.) All that's outside the scope of this fine site, though (beyond the music she shared with us, and encouraged us in, all our lives) - and I greatly share your warm thought/prayer for all mothers and children.
Cheers, all!
Thanks Bob for the Swans, and to whoever posted Les Gans.
Thanks,
BFD
Re: Robert Gordon live: In 1979 I heard/saw him with Chris Spedding at Lupo's in Providence, RI. I was there for Spedding, tho Gordon was certainly no slacker. Tho for me the highlight by far was when Gordon took a break & Spedding played a bunch of his own songs, including Wild In The Street, Motor Bikin', Hey Miss Betty, New Girl in the Neighbourhood, Get Outta My Pagoda & Hurt By Love. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime evenings.
