....hey Bobby; I like the new cd . See you a week from Sunday in Indy! I may be in Chicago this Sunday so maybe I'll see you at South Shore as well. m~

..you're kidding, right?

...Holliday with four hits tonight....Lugo with a triple and HR.

...the Cards pick up Matt Holliday from the A's for several prospects....will be a pretty nice improvement over Duncan! m Yowsa! And to think they were looking to trade him. He's thrown a "regular" no-hitter before as well so he's in some interesting company. Like Steve Busby. (No perfect for Steve, but 2 no hitters.) Hey, why no love for Bob Forsch??? He had 2 no-no's and he didn't exactly have Nolan Ryan's fastball either! ...and a great catch by center fielder DeWayne Wise in the 9th inning to save a hit/homerun.... he had just entered the game for defensive purposes...what a catch! m My favorite highlight from yesterday(Well, next to the catch itself) was the reaction of the Phillies clubhouse after the catch...cameraman caught them hopping, and hollering, so excited, very cool! Hope you can get still get tickets this late! ...loved Bob Forsch back in the day! Probably saw him pitch a dozen times. m

NO!

...don't think I ever saw this thread before....love wine as does my better half. We've spent a lot of time in Napa/Sonoma as well as some vineyards in France/Italy. I'll post some vineyard photos some time...not that anyone necessarily cares....though many of them are beautiful. m

Derrick Gardner @ the Jazz Kitchen in Indy (this weekend). Oliver Nelson Jr (yes, Oliver's son) @ the Chatterbox in Indy (next weekend) Mel Rhyne @ the Chatterbox in Indy (next weekend as well)

...have also slowed down on cd buying. Probably picking up more books these days and picking up some new camera equipment is taking it's toll. I probably go to more shows/festivals now than ever before and I've always gone to a lot of them. The expenses associated with going out of town to festivals (hotels/food/flights/cds) are out of hand and I guess the money has to come from somewhere and much of it has come out of cd purchases. I've also put on a couple events to benefit local Indy musicians and some of those funds come out of my pocket.

Happy Birthday Jan!!!

.....wow, you guys actually look at the notes...I'm impressed. The shoot was fun; I tried to get Bobby into the wagon if only for one shot but he wasn't buying it. He was sure I was going to use it for evil .....not that I would consider doing that . Resident jazz shrink Rob Viti attended the shoot last August and assisted; it was a makeshift studio in one of the rooms at Pete Millers during the off hours. I think Bobby has a nice distinctive sound that I like it alot. I've had the opportunity to see/hear/photograph the band lots of times and they are always a joy to see; a pretty tight unit. Dennis and Kobie are great guys as well. Apparently Sonny thinks a lot of Kobie having now played with him for a couple years and Dennis is a first call bass player around Chicago and the midwest...have caught him with a ton of players..saw him recently with McPherson as well. m

...the music is back at Pete Millers. If you were listening to these guys, you were probably the only one. This is one noisy place most nights with diners talking over the music all night....but at least they feature live jazz almost every night of the week which is great. m~

...not as long as you're still wearing a mullett.

...what he said.....good luck!!! m~

...would love to do it.

Art liked playing, period. Anywhere, anytime. He just wanted a crowd, because he worried about the club owner losing money and not having him back. He sometimes scolded crowds for being so small. Seriously. I had to remind him that the people he was scolding actually DID show up.

Man, I really like that set! m

....Happy Birthday(a little late) Jack!!!

....Hope you had a great day Barak!!!

...man, that's a dated photo of Killer...taken at the Jazz Kitchen down the street from my house; my home base for live jazz. ...generally Killer talks through half the set (his days with Coltrane, Wes, Freddie and others, how much Michael Jackson makes, how much the rappers make and how he makes too little ) but he's a great guy! m

Ambler! There's another mutual interest, Bill. Bought recently: Jeremy Ludkin, THE LENOX SCHOOL OF JAZZ. And got (as an anniversary present) this one, which I'm hoping to read this weekend: ...didn't buy a book today but a big fan of the WPA project. Here are a few images I took of an actual WPA mural in California. These are close ups of a much larger mural. m ... ... ...and

I have. But it ended up being the player. ...same here.

I see Wes' wife from time to time; I'll see if she recalls the next time I see her. m

...here is a photo I made of Han last year...using his mouth as a drum....fun show! m
