Shigekix Aha! Brain (Citrus)
One of the things I like so much about some of the Japanese candies is that they're incredibly flavorful. I couple of months ago I got an email from the fine folks at JBox telling me about a new UHA Shigekix product called Aha! Brain. It comes in a few different flavors, including "Energy Drink Flavor", which puzzled me and scared me enough to prompt me to stick to the comfortably familiar flavor called Citrus Flavor.
I tried Shigekix a couple of years ago in the Cola flavor and found them kind of fun. This package doesn't have the familiar schmoo character on the front, instead a PacMan type character with some sort of electrified brain.
The little gumdrop shaped candies are covered in a light and uneven candy shell. The shell is merely sweet and carries no flavor as far as I can tell. The gummi center, however, is jam packed with flavor. The gummi is much softer than the regular Shigekix, rather like a slightly stale Haribo Bear.
The citrus flavor is just bursting with complexity. It has the zesty notes of grapefruit and perhaps yuzu and lemon then the tart bite and a bit of sweet juiciness. I have no idea if my brain is more awake than before, but my salivary glands are working overtime here.
I probably wouldn't go popping this to solve problems, but I could see it being a good treat for long car trips where I need to stay alert.
Shigegix Aha! Brain also comes in Muscat flavor.
Check out the JBox site where they feature four different ads from Japan for the product. I have no idea what's going on (I believe the dancing woman in the yellow helmet is caused by eating Aha! Brain). Now I want that helmet (I rode my bike to work today and my plain white helmet just isn't doing it for me ... well, except for protecting my now super-Aha'ed brain).

UHA Puccho Custard
These are freakish, disarming and charming all at once. I don't know why I ordered them from JBox, but I'm certainly glad I did.
I thought that the Puccho line is really inventive. If you've never had them they're a chew studded with bits of gummi and then other candy, usually little sour or fizzy nuggets. I know it sounds weird but it really works.
JBox.com called this variety Baked Puccho—Custard Cream. But from the package and taste I've decided it's really creme brulee.
The chew is a light vanilla, smooth though not quite as bouncy as HiCHEW. Then as the chew continues there are little grainy sparkles of caramelized sugar and then soft and dense nuggets of caramel flavored gummis. Creamy and crunchy and chewy.
It sounds weird, I know, but they're completely addictive and I'm sorry I didn't buy more (especially since they're currently out of them). They're satisfying in that they make me feel like I've had a decadent fatty custard but they're also so engaging because of the chew that I want to keep it going.
The other flavor they have in stock at JBox right now is Mikakuto Baked Puccho—Baked Apple & Cinnamon which also sounds pretty weird, but judging by my first impression of these, they're probably very good.

Koakuma Goth Puccho
Koakuma from UHA are a curious little candy. They've taken their wildly popular Puccho and combined them with the flavors and colors of the Gothic Lolita style popular in Japan. Koakuma means "little devil" and the package sports the little character all over it. With a heart shaped face, little bat wings and on the bottom of the pleated bag, she rides a trident like a broom.
These little candies come individually wrapped inside larger pouches. The taffy base is black with rich colored stripes and then studded with gummis.
Koakuma Peach Rose
I'm not usually fond of peach flavored candies. Don't misunderstand, I'm a huge fan of fresh peaches, canned peaches and even dried peaches. There's just something about many peach flavored candies I'm just not fond of.
No matter, because these don't taste like peaches. It smells like peaches, but it tastes like mildly tart floral berries.
The little gummy bits provide and interesting texture to the bouncy chew. It was very fresh and soft and pretty darn good. I was really surprised I ate most of the bag.
Koakuma Blueberry Rose
I've never really been that impressed with blueberry as a flavor. I often get it confused with raspberry in candies, and this one is no exception. It tastes like raspberry and a little floral note thrown in there with the rose. But I have to say that I'm impressed that the color actually looks like blueberries instead of like something pharmaceutical.
Again, bouncy and chewy and fresh and thoroughly enjoyable.
Both of them were nice, but the specific flavors just weren't my favorites. I think I'd like a strawberry with rose or maybe a grape and violet. I bet they'd make a fun gift for someone who's intro Goth though. (Who doesn't like candies that match their nail polish?) There is another flavor called Cassis & Grape that I saw on JList for $1.80 (which has lots of other Gothic Lolita cosplay stuff to complete the look).
Here are some other reviews:

Short & Sweet: Japanese Goodies
I have too much candy and at one review a day I'm never going to get to it all.
And if I review more than one a day, well, I'm just not going to have enough time for anything else.
So here it is, a "Short & Sweet" review of a buncha stuff Japanese stuff:
High Concentration Milk Candy (made by UHA) -are little hard candies, kind of like a hard toffee. They taste distinctly of milk and are very sweet. They're also rather satisfying without being too sticky. I'm sure there's some high calcium content in there but the wrapper was all in Japanese.
Cubyrop (made by Bourbon) - oh they're such cute candies! Little fruit flavored hard candies in Strawberry, Pineapple, Orange, Peach, Lemon, Muscat and Grape. Some flavors were very tasty, but I didn't care much for the peach, which was a rather difficult flavor to distinguish from the orange. Lots of vitamin C.
They came in little wrappers that held two little candy cubes. They were completely random, so you'd never know when you were going to get a muscat and grape together.
Look Nut ala Mode (made by Fujiya) is a strange little tray of chocolates in a box with a wide, envelope-like flap. Great for sharing, they're pretty and of descent quality even for less than $2.00.
It took me quite a while to realize that there were four different nut flavors ... not that each chocolate contained all flavors. I have no idea, beyond the rather green pistachio one which was which. I enjoyed all of them except for the macadamia, which seemed more coconutty.

UHA Puccho
The Japanese have some strange candies and these have to be right up there at the top. Puccho are pretty popular and with good reason, they deliver just about everything. They have variety in both the experience and the range of flavors, great packaging, they're inexpensive and of course you can share them easily.
There was a wide variety of flavor combinations at the store and I was especially interested in the Cola one but wanted to stay away from the yogurt ones (I like yogurt, but not as a flavor).
The Cola (in the red package) was awesome. The little piece had white and brown stripes in the candy and every once in a while there was a little piece of cola flavored gummi or a nugget of sour foamy grains. The grains gave it a lemon-cola zap and the gummis gave the soft, Hi-CHEW-like taffy a little bump of longevity.
The second one is a bit more of a mystery. The English sticker on the label calls it Genki Drink, which didn't really help me to narrow it down because I didn't know what a Genki Drink is. A little time on Google and I knew EXACTLY what they are ... you've probably seen them before, those mysterious brown glass bottles by the checkout at the Asian markets and tea shops that claim to boost your mental acuity and, um, other things.
The saffron colored chews are similarly soft and have a tangy, lemon tea flavor to them but also a floral note that reminded me of violets. There are similar nuggets of white powder that release a little zap of fizz and tartness, but these seem to have a bitter bite to them. The little gummi bits linger and have a little fruity taste to them and help to scrub away any lingering taffy bits in the teeth (that's how they're described on the Puccho website).
I definitely found the Cola ones fun and practically addictive except for the later burps that the little fizzy bits seem to generate. The Genki, not so much, even though it probably has infusions of all sorts of healthy things (the only one I'm sure of is vitamin C). I'll probably stick to my tried-and-true Hi-CHEW but the Cola ones are definitely compelling if I'm in a mood.
Interesting note: the motto for UHA Mikakuto is "Deliciousness is Gentleness"

Hard Candy: Juntsuyu
There are some candy aficionados who turn up their noses at hard candy. Sure, they might think a candy cane is nice as decoration, but certainly not meant to be eaten and savored. I actually like hard candy a lot. I like Lifesavers (or did until they mucked around with the flavors in the standard five flavor roll), I like starlite mints, lemon drops and I love barley sugar candy. When I saw these at the Japanese market, I was hoping they were barley sugar, though it didn't say that was part of the ingredients. In fact, I'm not sure what they are except for solidified, cello-wrapped heaven.
These little morsels look like drops of honey. There are two flavors, the golden ones and the darker ones. I have no idea what flavor they are, but the dark ones taste like sweet black iced tea. The lighter ones taste like sweet sugar with a hint of jasmine. The little bottom of them forms a pentagon and has a little hole in it. There are virtually no air bubbles or voids anywhere in the candy, which makes them exceptionally smooth.
The little cones (about one inch tall) fit nicely in the mouth and have no sharpness to them that can cut the roof of your mouth, which has always been the danger with cheap sour balls. These dissolve slowly and release a delicately sweet flavor across your mouth that will linger for hours after you eat them. They're crunchable too, as I am prone to chewing up my hard candies. The black tea ones (which I've already eaten all of) have a strong tea flavor to them with not a hint of bitterness. The sweet aromatic jasmine in the light ones (or whatever flavor it might be) is clean and fresh.
For some reason these were strangely expensive. At $2.29 for a scant three and a half ounces, I've gone and gotten myself addicted to some pricey boiled sugar. The brand, Shirakiku, is known as a tea and snack brand in Japan and to many Americans who buy Japanese teas (like my favorite Genmaicha) and those seaweed rice crackers. I have not been able to find anything about this candy anywhere online, though it's possible that the English word "juntsuyu" isn't quite accurate (as is often the case with the American labels slapped on the back of these import packages). So if any of my sweet Japanese readers can help me figure out what these are, I'd be ever so grateful.
UPDATE 4/18/07: JBox is now carrying Juntsuyu (at my request, thankee-thankee). For the record, since I did this review I've eaten three more bags of these and also put them in the Christmas Stockings last year.

Shigekix Super Cola
Name: Shigekix Super Cola
My blogging buddy, Lisa, sent this to me. She didn't pick it up in Japan, she got it in New York, which makes the trip it's taken extra special.
They look like little incense cones, little hard cones covered in a salty, sour powder. I wasn't quite sure what they were, as the package is in Japanese, but what I could glean from the package was that these were sour. (I'm not quite sure what the female schmoo thing is on the front, but she sure is cute.)
They smell like cola, which is an odd smell in and of itself, really. The gummy isn't really gummy either, it's a hard little piece that's not quite hard enough to be considered hard candy. Pop one in your mouth and you pucker. There's no way to not describe these as incredibly sour. The flavor of the sour is a bit lemony but a little salty too. Then that subsides and you get the cola flavor and a little hard gummy bit. Then you want another one. They took a little getting used to, but with a lot of the extreme candies, they're rather addictive.
They remind me a lot of the So Wonderful Lemon Drops I tried months ago. I think I might pick up the grape ones sometime, but for now, cola is a great choice for a sour treat. I have to say that eating to many will eventually burn the tongue. And give you a tummy ache. But I've found that to be true with most foods.

Gummi Sushi
Name: Mikakuto Osushi Gummy
This has got to be one of the cutest candies I have ever seen. It's gummi sushi. The fish is little fruit-flavored gummies, the rice is marshmallow and there's a little chocolate goo inside the marshmallow (I'm not sure what that's supposed to be).
Inside the box are eight individually sealed pieces. There's a huge variety. As far as I can tell: a grape octopus, a pineapple roe, a raspberry tuna, a green apple something (looked kinda like edamame, but you don't usually have that on rice), a berry shrimp ... I think that's about it. I'm guessing the variety differs depending on random chance. There's a little guide on the inside of the lid ... in Japanese, but at least it shows you all the varieties.
The gummi part is very fragrant, soft and fresh. The marshmallow is a really nice complement to the tart gummi, but the chocolate center just kind of ruins it for me.
As a gift or stocking stuffer, this is great. It's novel and well packaged (easy to wrap) and the images on it are really cute. It's a little expensive, but I'd be willing to buy something like this for the right person. For just eating, I'll probably stick to regular gummi bears.
Interesting fact from wrapper: no MSG!
Rating - 7 out of 10 (because of the price and funky chocolate filling)

March Moment: Morrison And The ZagsPosted by jstevrtc on March 17th, 2010
Few college basketball fans are born with their love for the game. For most aficionados, at some point on the way from infancy to college hoops fan, there is a moment. A single play, shot, player, game, or event at which point they say to themselves, "I will always have this in my life." Because it is the time of the season that carries the most gravitas, these things often happen in March. We asked some of our friends and correspondents: what was the thing that turned you into a lifelong college basketball fan? What was your…March Moment? We'll be posting some of their answers for the rest of the month.
In this submission, RTC Big 12 correspondent Patrick Sellars illustrates one of the great aspects of being a college basketball fan — how a team with which you have no rooting interest or affiliation can somehow find its way into your heart:
It was my freshman year in high school, and I would say I was a modest college basketball fan at best. I watched the big games, the conference tournaments, and of course the "Big Dance" but I wasn't a diehard like I am today. The team, but more importantly the player, that changed this all for me was Adam Morrison and his 2005-06 Gonzaga Bulldogs. The first game I watched the Zags play was the 3OT thriller against Michigan State in the EA Sports Maui Invitational, Morrison put up 43 points in the Gonzaga win. After this game I was hooked on Morrison, this shaggy haired, awkward, lanky, peach fuzz mustache flaunting kid with diabetes was draining NBA range threes over athletic guards, and he did it with passion and intensity that I haven't seen in college basketball since.
Over the course of the season I saw every single game they played, I even talked my parents into buying the Fox College Sports West TV package so I could stay up late for all of their WCC contests. I lived and breathed Gonzaga basketball, and as a kid from Wisconsin with no affiliation to the school all my peers called me a "fair-weather-fan". However, I didn't care, because I was so enticed by the Gonzaga team.
As the rest of the season unfolded there were many great moments. Everyone remembers the Oklahoma State game with Morrison's bank in three, Gus Johnson screaming at the top of his lungs "LARRY BIRD!!!! BABY!!!" I was euphoric, ironically Gus Johnson would make another call later in the year that still haunts my dreams to this day.

Michael Talbot was the author of a number
of books highlighting parallels
between ancient mysticism
and quantum mechanics
espousing a theoretical model
of reality that suggests the physical
universe is akin to a giant hologram.
According to Talbot ESP, telepathy,
and other paranormal phenomena
are real and are a product
of his holographic model of reality.
Talbot also ties in elements of Carl Jung's
"collective unconscious" theory, as well as
the synchronicity phenomenon, to
suggest the existence of an underlying
unified field that ties all things
in the universe together.
The Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics
sometimes called Bohmian mechanics,
the ontological interpretation,
or the causal interpretation,
is an interpretation postulated by David Bohm
in 1952 as an extension of Louis de Broglie's
pilot-wave theory of 1927
Consequently it is sometimes called
the de Broglie-Bohm theory.
Bohm's interpretation is an example of a hidden variables theory.
Historically, it was hoped that hidden
variables could provide a local,
deterministic, objective description
that would resolve or eliminate
many of the paradoxes
of quantum mechanics, such as Schrödinger's cat,
the measurement problem, the collapse
of the wavefunction, and similar concerns.
The many-worlds interpretation or MWI
(also known as the relative state
formulation, theory of the universal
wavefunction, parallel universes,
many-universes interpretation
or just many worlds),
is an interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Charles Hoy Fort
(6 August 1874 – 3 May 1932)
was a Dutch-American writer
and researcher into anomalous phenomena.
Today, the terms "Fortean"
and "Forteana" are used to
characterise various anomalous phenomena.
Robert Anton Wilson or RAW
(born Robert Edward Wilson,
January 18, 1932 – January 11, 2007
) was an American novelist, essayist,
philosopher, psychonaut,
futurologist and libertarian.
Wilson described his writing as an
"attempt to break down conditioned associations—to
look at the world in a new way,
with many models recognized
as models or maps and no
one model elevated to the Truth.
The Western World has been brainwashed
by Aristotle for the last 2,500 years. The unconscious,
not quite articulate, belief of most
Occidentals is that there is one map which
adequately represents reality. By sheer
good luck, every Occidental thinks he or she has
the map that fits. Guerrilla ontology, to me,
involves shaking up that certainty.
I see anarchism as the theoretical
ideal to which we are all gradually evolving
to a point where everybody can tell
the truth to everybody else and nobody
can get punished for it.

Inshort, from what I've discovered is that by default, Easy Print is enabled on 2012r2.
When you disable Easy Print via gpedit , you can add drivers for a printer the good old fashion way. Technically, when Easy Print is enabled, the Advanced tab within the printer properties is Grayed out so you can't select different drivers.
ISSUE: I can't figure out a way to do both. When I first got this machine, my old faithfull HP 2035 wouldn't print. After I disabled Easy Print...it would print.. Few days later when attempting to add one of my customers I had the opposite problem. They couldn't print unless Easy Print was enabled.
I still have another customer to add to this machine and heaven only knows which setting will work for the.
Any help would be appreciated.

July 5, 2010 A liftetime guarantee on love
Sometimes a movie makes you cry. Sometimes it makes you laugh. You leave the theater or hit the stop button, teary-eyed, with your side split from laughter or infuriated by the two hours you've wasted. But it's not very often I'm left thinking, racking my brain, putting myself in the place of the protagonist thinking for hours, "What would I have done?"
But I did when I watched TiMER.
Props to Jessi for putting me on to this movie.
Here's the premise:
Oona is a thirty-something dentist who lives with her stepsister Steph who's around the same age. Oona is looking for love and Steph is waiting for love, but not in the way you might expect.
At a certain point, the quest for love is sometimes driven by a deadline. You want to get married before you have kids. You want to be financially stable to get married. You need a job to be financially stable (whatever that meas these days). And you need a degree to get a job. But what if the timeline is not so strategic, not so practical, but proven science?
TiMER is set in present-day, but a present-day in where when you reach adolescence, you can get a timer implanted on your wrist.
When you do this, one of two things can happen:
- Your timer begins a countdown, be it 5 days or in the case of Oona's stepsister Steph, 5262 days 14 hours 56 min 2 seconds. These are the days until you meet your soul mate.
- Or, you can get your timer and when it is implanted, it could be blank. This means that your soul mate has not gotten their timer yet. This is what has happened to the protagonist, Oona.
No more guesswork. The phrase "You'll just know," is a little more tangible. How will you know? When your timer counts down to the final day, you have 24 hours in which you will find your soul mate. When you make eye contact with him/her, your timer and theirs starts beeping like crazy, and there you have it. True love, your life partner, happily ever after, etc.
(It's not a sci-fi flick at all really. No hovering cars or drastically rigid asymmetrical haircuts. It's just a world like this one, but with timers.)
Oona lives by this gadget, the timer. She believes in it and makes decisions by it. She dates men without timers and after a couple dates, she takes them to get a timer in hopes that hers will turn on and they will be soulmates. It's become something of a hobby.
She shows little interest in these men, but dating anyone with a timer already, to her, is a "moot point." But then, the meet-cute. She meets a younger, unsuccessful guy with messy roommates. But the worst part: He already has a timer, which means they can't be soul mates.
Of course there are many plot twists but it brings up some situations that make you wonder:
- Would you get a timer if it's 100% proven?
- Would you date someone with a timer who you know isn't your soul mate? Or would it just be a moot point?
- In the movie, timers have only been around for a decade or so, so what if you were already married? Would you get one and risk knowing that you are not married to your soul mate?
- What if you fall in love with someone who you know isn't your soul mate?
- Is it fate? Is it destiny? Is it just a self-fulfilling prophecy?
- Is a guarantee really what you need to put a restless mind at ease?
- What if you are to find your soul mate when you are barely at age to date?
I can say that I wouldn't get one, but I would certainly be tempted. I mean, a couple bad dates and then you just think, "Skrew it. I'll just go get a timer."
It's along the lines of that witch's eyeball in Big Fish.
If you could look in the eyeball of an old woman and see your death, would you want to? On one hand, if you see yourself dying old, you would be able to take risks your whole life, knowing that you would survive them. On the other hand, if you find you die young, well, that's a little discouraging.
In both scenarios, witch's eyeball or timer, I think ignorance is bliss. Life is guesswork and mistakes.While there would be a reassurance in knowing, the freedom of not knowing would be altogether more spontaneous and less frigid and formulated. Oona's love interest Mikey says it best:
"You're sweating your future right? It's a shame because you could have a more exciting present if you really wanted."
There are no big names besides Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Emma Caulfield as Oona. In a refreshing way, you can go into the movie with no expectations beyond my humble suggestion. It's kind of new to DVD and it's on the "Instant" section of Netflix right now. There are a couple unanswered questions in the plot, but still, I highly suggest it.

Charleston Gazette
Walls Tumbled Before Strippers, City Man Vows
March 12, 1970
Walls Tumbled Before Strippers, City Man Vows
Strip mining definitely destroyed West Virginia's most famous archeological ruin, another Charlestonian vowed Wednesday.
John L. Gilbert of 1132 Hickory Rd., formerly of Armstrong Creek, Fayette County, said the Hawks Nest Mining Co. is "ridiculous" in its claim that is hasn't harmed the Armstrong Mountain "mystery walls."
The "walls" - a 10 mile-long ridge of piled-up stones that enclosed the top of the mountain - baffled archeologists ever since the 1800s. Scientists said they couldn't have been used for fortifications or for a livestock fence or as the perimeter of a prehistoric settlement, but they might have been a sun worship site for a 1,000 year old village in the Kanawha Valley floor at the base of the mountain.
Last week, two West Virginia Tech Instructors led newsmen up the mountain near Montrgomery and said they believed the stoneworks have been destroyed by a strip mine.
Then Gorden Billheimer, vice president of Hawks Nest Mining Co. of Montgomery, wrote an indignant statement claiming his firm hadn't damaged the prehistoric ruins.
A Charleston archeology enthusiast, William S. Bevins Jr. of 2810 Hart St., contradicted the coal official. He said he took color slides of the first stages of the destruction by the strip mine, and the mine has expanded since then to increase the obliteration.
Bevins provided the Gazette with black-and-white prints of his slides, and said he would gladly show his slide evidence to the West Virginia Archeological Society or the state Antiquities Commission or other concerned groups.
Wednesday, the second Charlestonian, Gilbert, wrote to the Gazette to protest against the coal firm's denial that it has harmed the ruins.
"I lived on Armstrong Creek at Kimberly all my life until last year." he said. "As a child, I used to lead expeditions of teachers, professors, archeologists and hikers up to the mystery walls.
"The walls definitely have been obliterated.The rebuttal statement of this mining official is one of the weakest and most ridiculous statements that I have ever read. People of Armstrong Creek need only to look up at the stripped mountains of the mystery wall area and realize that the walls are no longer there.
"This strip mining official may fool many Gazette readers who don't have any knowledge of the mystery wall area, but he won't and cannot fool the Armstrong Creek residents. Indeed, the strip mining operations have obliterated the old walls. . . All that remains is a vast wasteland.
"The Coal company rebuttal stated, 'Only an expert could possibly recognize that walls ever existed. They couldn't possibly be restored, and if they were, they would be insignificant.'
"Armstrong Creek residents laugh at this absurdity. For years they and their children have visited the walls either on hikes or during hunting trips. It certainly didn't require any expert knowledge of the area to locate the walls. I was only nine years old when I and other kids hiked up the mountain to see the mystery walls.
"The walls could have been easily restored if our pathetic state government had taken interest. Our state government preferred the income from the strip mining operations instead of the expense of preserving ancient history.
"I think the strip mining officials are underestimating the intelligence and pride of Armstrong Creek residents. Every resident finds it hard to forgive the stripping company for what it has done to their homes and mountains. The once deep mountain hollows are now filled with strip mining debris. Armstrong Creek was once full of minnows and other wild life but now it is full of rocks, mud, and brackish water. Powellton residents must now finance a costly new water system because stripping operations permanently damaged their present water supply in Gum Hollow.
"Residents living along the road up Armstrong Creek used to take pride in how clean and neat they kept their homes. Now it is a losing battle to keep their homes clean because of the dust and dirt accumulated on the road due to coal truck travel. This road itself is atrocious. It is now full of chug holes and various small hollows full of stripping debris have washed out onto the road.
"At several places along the road garages for coal trucks have sprouted. They are an eyesore because of the assortment of junked truck bodies, scrap metal, etc., that are stored practically on the road. I think that if Armstrong Creek people could pass the final verdict, the coal strippers and their supporting facilities would be outlawed.
"In my opinion, the strip mining companies are not primarily to blame for the destruction of historical relics and beautiful country side. Our state government knew the risks involved when it issued the mining permit but it seems these state officials are typical West Virginia politicians. They listen only to money regardless of any risk. No, we cannot blame the strip mining company. This honor belongs to our fine state government which is the laughing stock of America."

You know all the words to Nikki Minaj's latest hit? That's so adorable but let's try something with a melody and that will be remembered two years from now for more than just Pub Quiz fodder.
Herbie Hancock is an American pianist and Jazz icon, playing with the likes of Miles Davis' "second great quintet" in the '60s—being hand-picked by Davis himself. Cantelope Island, perhaps Hancock's most recognizable piece, was recorded in 1964 for the album Empyrean Isles, though 1973's Headhunters was his most popular album. In all Hancock, has appeared—either as the sideman or leading—in over two dozen albums. He even composed the Fat Albert television soundtrack. [Youtube, Wikipedia]
