there were other things but i had some of them and some would be better for someone else. they were in bins on the bottom shelf and uncomfortable to look through but i did anyway.

Sounds like it.  For those of you who don't know, tommy used to hang at the LA jazz joints in the day . . and buy records.  I was north in San Francisco bout that time.  We shared some music experiences just in different venues.  I've dug him since I first turned on the to internet.  Now that I've embarrassed him thoroughly, good to see you T.  I know a few other soulful cats here will as well, not limited to jazz, obviously.

Whoa, just noticed that the Tomas has been here for awhile.  Oh well, that's a good thing.

Interesting mix of albums. That Jimmy Smith is a good one, arranged by Lalo Schifrin. Is the Respighi pipe organ?

Sometimes those dollar records clean up real nice. I've gotten some that sound better than new pressings.
