Raquet Pancho Gonzales
I found my old tennis raquet. It is a Spalding " Pancho Gonzales" Profesional model. How old could it be?
There were actually quite a number of Gonzales models. The earliest date from 1952-3 to the last ones made in 1980. Without a picture it is hard to tell absolutely, but the Professional model had its heyday during the '60s, so a ballpark guess is that the racquet is about 45 years old. None of them are particularly valuable, but if it's in excellent condition and has the cover, then a price of $20-30 would be possible. Just imagine trying to hit 130 mph serves with that monster!

A Proper Introduction to Babs Gonzales: Real... $9.99 Full title: A Proper Introduction to Babs Gonzales: Real Crazy.When Lee Brown/Babs Brown/Ricardo Gonzales eventually became bop vocalist Babs Gonzales in 1944, he quickly established a unique sound only rivaled in later years by Eddie Jefferson or Pancho Hagood, and popularly assimilated by Dizzy Gillespie. This "Proper Introduction" is a compendium of various different sessions done in 1947, 1949, 1956, and 1958 in New York City, Los Angeles, and New Jersey, representing the true cream of the crop sides Gonzales waxed. Many historic moments occur, famous tunes are played in modified forms, and scat based in stretched, extended vowel techniques are the things Gonzales specializes in, just this side of the nonsensical musings of Slim Gaillard. While he never received the acclaim or credit he deserved, his innovations still resonate with those singers and fans who dare to take a listen to his hilarious, witty, skilled, and crafty material. The eight sessions from 1947 feature Tadd Dameron playing piano and contributing in group vocals, the highlight clearly being "Oop-Pop-A-Da," written by Gonzales but spread further by Gillespie. This version sports an actual lyric and a modified third line instead of just the simplified title repeated and improvised off of. There's a variation of Charlie Parker's "Ornithology" titled "Pay Dem Dues," a cool extrapolation on "Stompin' at the Savoy," several scatty bop tunes, and the haunting refrains of "Weird Lullaby" or the heartbreaking "Runnin' Around." Several larger ensemble selections done in N.Y.C. purportedly feature the first recording dates for Sonny Rollins from 1949. "Professor Bop" is an autobiographical tale of how bop was rendered, as Rollins is teamed with J.J. Johnson, while "Indiana" or "Donna Lee" is paraphrased melodically on "Real Crazy" with a band featuring Rollins, Johnson, Don Redman, Wynton Kelly, and Ray Nance. The violin of Nance moans and cries alongside the flute playing of Alberto Soccares and Gonzales for the pensive, regretful "When Lovers They Lose." This band also does a killer, quick, wildly mutated "St. Louis Blues," laden with counterpoint and as unique a version of this standard as you will ever hear. These sessions comprise the bulk of the Capitol/Blue Note label reissue Weird Lullaby, but extra tracks, including definitive numbers like "Cool Whalin'" from 1952, or "Get Out That Bed" and "For Dancers Only" via out of print recordings for the Spotlite and Chiaroscuro labels make this a more attractive, definitive package, one that every lover of this style of singing should want and treasure. ~ Michael G.
