* Thanks to "rm" for finding the right cover!
This is in a hurry, given that I'm about to miss a second consecutive month. No, this blog is not dead. I still have much to share, it's just that life and work is consuming a lot of my focus at the moment. Still, ... This is a cd I've been meaning to share for some time, though most of the tracks are widely available. The reason I waited is because I

thanks, Chester. I have one Krupa recording, and this will add nicely to my big band selections.

thank you very much
Yes, THANKS rm!
No, not quite, rm - Chester's selection has 19 tracks, not 17 and the titles are not exactly the same; so it's a similar but different release.
Thanks again for the great music!
Chester Proudfoot - please consider adding a secret contact mail to your Profile, thru which people can reach you. The reason for this is Blogspot has started nuking blogs en mass. Recently, a lot of sites have been removed. It's really worrying!

See comments - it is worrying news. :(
There are always risks associated with blogs being removed, however due to the level of spam that I used to get, I decided in favor of not posting any email address.
I regularly back up the blog, and have other sites in the hopper, ready to move if need be. In the event that blogger removes this particular blog, people will only need to google 'Paging Mr. Volstead' to find the new one.
I have not looked at the track listing for the replacement cover, however I am 99.99% sure that this is the correct cover. It's entirely possible that the track listings have changed (e.g., from lp to cd) or the right cover is nearly identical. It wouldn't be the first time. But I will stick with this one, since it is what I remember. I wish I could find the cd again, but it's possible it was 'liberated' along with some others that went AWOL some time ago.
Thanks for the info, Chester - I took note: I should google 'Paging Mr. Volstead' if this blog disappears.
Just as I am writing three more blogs I follow were nuked:
forgottenmasterpieces.blogspot.com
loungelegends.blogspot.com
theredhippieteenager.blogspot.com
It is an eerie feeling - I usually visit my blogs like every second week - now I have the feeling that I am having sleepless nights over an old grandmother - it's like it's not a matter whether she will recover...it's a matter when she will pass away. So nowadays I visit (the remaining) blogs on my list at least every second day!
