  1. But as you pointed out earlier, Guardians of the Galaxy 4 and Super Mario Brothers?????
  2. I don't recall ever seeing a Chris Pratt movie. I wouldn't recognize him on the street. This is the modern idea of a silver screen star?
  3. We re-installed Chrome and everything is fine--bookmarks and all. The easy fix rarely works for me. This time it did!
  4. So it may be an easy fix. I won't mess with it just yet. I will consult with my wife, who is better on Apple computers than I. But she has been busy with her ailing mother.
  5. It's an Apple desktop using Monterey. I am not even a year into using the first Apple I have ever owned. The backup thing is tricky, as I tend to back up only Word Files and music files.
  6. After restarting my computer, Chrome has gone missing. I have no idea why this would happen. I have looked in Apps, I have looked in Trash--nowhere to be found. It's probably easy enough to reinstall Chrome. But all my Bookmarks are gone and would probably be gone permanently--we are talking about several hundred. Any advice?
  7. Oblique is a great album, and the rendition of "Blow Up" is superb.
  8. Ayler had that strange-sounding sentimental thing going on in his soft pieces. I can't say that I've ever grown fond of it. I'm also a big fan of Sonny on "G-Man."
  9. I think I've overlooked Tootie a bit, but he was a fine drummer. It's sad to know that the last in a supremely gifted family is gone.
  10. It is rather strange that there are just a few Horace Silver live recordings. I think he is best represented during the time he co-led the Messengers with Blakey; I think it was actually called the Art Blakey Quintet then. Maybe Horace hated live albums (as has been claimed on this board), but that's kind of odd given that Blakey seemed to love them. In his prime years, at least, Horace seemed to be on the road as much as Blakey.
  11. I'm sure that the number of songs clearly "borrowing" melodies from Classical music (in or out of public domain) is well into the hundreds. Maybe the number has broken 1,000 by now.
  12. I did not see any of the films and watched maybe three minutes of the Awards. That's pretty typical for me. I do go with the notion that there are still good films and filmmakers. But Kimmel had quite a funny line about the Scorsese film: "When I went to see ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,’ I had my mail sent to the theater. It’s so long, you could drive to Oklahoma and solve the murders yourself.” When I get around to seeing it, I'll be sure to schedule a dinner break and at least two bathroom breaks.
  13. Rollins-Reece-Hancock-Carter-Chambers...pretty intriguing. Unfortunately, Rollins and Burrell are no longer playing.
  14. A little tricky, but Joe Chambers released some Blue Notes quite recently--and he was quite active in the 60s, though only as a sideman.
  15. I am sure Turre is well-compensated indeed from SNL, which I too have not watched for decades. Doing this kind of gig will give a musician comfort and more. That's not such a bad thing, especially when one can still regularly put out the kind of music that Turre does.
