Oh.....My......God!!!

Very seriously. Sometimes the web can really, really come through. A Christmas Miracle just happened. Please forgive me if I sound over-the-top on this...but check this out.

I've just finished a project in the studio where I transcribes some vinyl to CD. But not just any vinyl. It was a private pressing of a music teacher I had in '59 and '60. He was a very talented pianist, a gifted teacher (we ALL loved him), and he had a jazz combo that played out around town, the Jerry Libby Trio. We, of course, knew him as Mr. Libby. He left teaching in '63, and nobody ever heard of or from him again.

Cut to a month ago. I found the vinyl that I just transcribed on the web (a minor miracle in itself), and the place I ordered if from, Virgin Vinyl Records, has turned out to be a couple that go way, way above and beyond the call in providing service. After I'd ordered the record, I got an email from Scott apologizing and telling me that, after looking at the record again, it wasn't quite as good as the ad said, and do I still want it. I replied of course. He got it to me in a flash. Turned out to be just fine.

So today the CD was finished, and I sent a copy to him. I told him that I was hoping that it would get widely distributed enough so that it would find its way into the hands of either Mr. Libby or someone close to him. I got an email back saying that they're pretty good at finding people on the web and would I like them to. Of course I replied in the positive.

I just now got an email with detailed info and what looks like good contact infomation. I'm FLYING!!!!!

Holy Fucking Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Said it looks like he last played with Nate Jajar and he's still active as a performer in Florida. There's a definite winter vacation in Florida in my future!

Wow. Just fuckin' WOW!

There's a girl I went to school with whom I haven't seen for years - since before graduation. Had a dream about her back in September. Summary: For some reason I felt compelled to contact her, and sent off an e-mail to the only address I could find. Turns out she plays in a volunteer jazz/symphony band - she's listed as the contact point for the band's website. Thus far, nothing back.

In the dream, she was sitting around musical instruments in cases, along with another person or two...as if they were getting ready to set up for an evening's session. She looked over at me and smiled, albeit a much older individual than I remember from my high school days.

Unfortunately, when I have these it usually means just one thing. :-|

May it turn out better this time!

Don't know. Found out her childhood/adulthood home was recently put up for sale and has now sold. Not a good sign.

Nope. My hard head would break the pan and she knows it. Just cost her money to replace the thing ...

I had a dream about a girl I knew from high school. She was in front of my house. She looked the same as in high school. Then we were in a room that was sort of like a library and there was some sort of prosecutors there. One of the prosecutors said, "we have to bring someone up on charges" and then pointed to her and said, "we'll press charges against her". I was very upset and dismayed at this course of action because somehow I knew it was completely corrupt and unjust and whatever charges they were bringing were false. The last I saw her she was being led away in handcuffs by court officers. Fortunately when I have these dreams it usually means absolutely nothing. :)

Guess I probably wanted to be an attorney or a judge.
