^ If you were trying to make a simulated American flag there, I will give you a 3/5 stars.

Other than the red, it was quite unintentional, my good man. The only thing the red was supposed to do was to highlight the musician's last name. Allmusic supplied the blue via its hyperlinks, no matter what color I made the plain text.

I humbly accept the passing grade, and thank you for your inscrutable but fair grading system.

I may have created a monster, Nick. Wait til Axo takes on Grant Green.

Dayum. Stole my idea right out from under me.

We'll always have Blue Mitchell.

You can always give it another try with Red Garland later.

Great idea. I could find a red train bearing coal, and do Red Garland Quintet with John Coltrane.

Drat, that's from 1957 or '58, I believe.

There's always Boxcar Willie.

I might back off my project in view of obscenity. "I know it when I see it."

Axo, Shades of Redd! Cool pick - love it (reminds me that I've not spun that in years). I'm beginning to think you know your jazz

Sam - whew! When I went with J.J/Kai's album, my other choice was that Bobby "Blue" Bland album - glad it didn't get left out in the cold

Is anyone left that might pick My Favorite Things?

Thank you, Zeebs. I haven't heard a compliment that left-handed since my dear old mum passed.

I almost went with My Favorite Things. It is a definite contender. Swerved my vote at the last moment.

Me too - I went with a something that was personally just a tad more favorite

Alas... me, too.
