Twelve Hours of Free Young Empty
PostSubject: Twelve Hours of Free Young   Twelve Hours of Free Young EmptyMon Dec 31, 2018 3:29 pm

In the Joni Mitchell biography I'm slowly working my way through she's up to recording her album with the dying Charles Mingus.  Mingus speaks approvingly of Lester Young.  I knew who Young was -- used to have a couple LPs -- but don't own any anymore.

So I went looking.

Found a couple nice collections at Amazon and iTunes, but my credit card was hacked Christmas Eve so I'm temporarily between cards.  

Looked for free downloads instead.  Found oodles.  

In fact I found 173 tracks, 12 hours 34 minutes before I'd even started.  These are all tracks recorded in the forties, a few in the early fifties, but mostly mono and no great shakes sonically.

So I thought hey, why not throw all these MP3s onto some data discs (which my new player plays) since the fidelity won't be compromised anyway.  Came out to three discs.  Made a cover, put them in a multi-disc case, and there you go.  

A whole day of Prez for reading Joni to.
