It's on Friday AND Sunday night here. At midnight and 1 AM, respectively. Sounds like a definite recording alert to me! :thumbup:

Never even heard of this particular program. I need to flip channels more.

Great show!

Milt Hinton started out with an Argus C3 ("the Brick"). Later images show him using a Nikon F (I think). He would do his own developing and printing in hotel rooms while travelling with his bands. He describes watching a BW image form in the developer tray as "the closest experience a man can come to like having a baby." I love this guy!

He should pass a kidney stone sometime; he will re-think that comment. :mrgreen:

But I still appreciate the sentiment behind it. :thumbup:
