Happy birthday Organissimo! For all the BNBB complaining, reminiscing, etc - the Big O board has been around much longer for most of us. -------------- btw - The people who make up the ridiculous anniversary gift lists say that 5 years means wood. So according to the experts, we should be giving Jim one of the following: Top 6 Traditional Fifth Year Anniversary Gifts - Wood 1. Bonsai Plant 2. Pine Scented Candle 3. Wood Furniture 4. Wood Carvings 5. Firewood 6. Woody Fragrances

It seems to be a trend..... expulsion and refuge

Have a good one!

Funny how lately we're all being cautious not to pull a "bluenote82" by reposting some news item or topic. (I also erred today on that front!)

Doh - and I even tried a forum search first

Marcello - you are correct, he's also a great educator. I've been working through Vols 1 & 2 for a bit now. http://www.jerrybergonzi.com/books.htm

My loser brother in law is doing this. He's more into hard rock and pop and he absolutely loves the convenience of his Ipod. So much so, that he's ripped all of his cd's (and will sell them) and is now using the Ipod as his main music player for his hi-fi system (that I helped recommend - NAD, Energy speakers, surround sound, good cabling, etc). As a result, he wants to also get rid of his NAD cd/dvd players. He can't seem to notice the difference between cd quality and mp3. He's also trashed using the nad dvd in favour of his PlayStation 3 because it plays Blue Ray. The upside is maybe I'll be "gifted" the cd and dvd player (did I mention he's a tax accountant)

Gotta hurt though: "Email me a photo I will paint it with my penis burning..."

UP. This show is now in the PJ archives. Having a good listen now. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...toryId=17460558

poor kid. It was the 1980s.

I think they have something streaming from their web site. Did you meaning "steaming"? When I was in university I recall WJZZ in Detroit having a Sunday night NA show, c 1986. I admit to listening and maybe I was slightly enamoured (or desperate). I just got my new DX7 and these dudes like Azuma, Patrick O'Hearn, Yanni and Suzanne Ciani were on the Private Music label making noise with their DX7s. I even met the DJ of that show cause I had a demo I made of some new age noodling. (The WJZZ station was to my suprise just a small house.) Luckily this phase, like listening to Black Sabbath in my basement at 14, soon passed.

Snowing in Toronto. But it's not cold!

Happy Birthday David.

Hell yeah!

Aldo Nova ("Fantasy") at Pine Knob with Blue Oyster Cult. Circa summer of 82. Oddly BOC also featured Robbie Krieger (the Doors) on guitar (for "Roadhouse Blues") and a live chopper motorcylce driven onstage for "Born to Be Wild".

I had this in the zep reunion post, but worth another promo for you SCTV fans. Stairways To Heaven

Saw this on the Bill Evans webpages. Wow! Some great facts, letters, interviews and piano transcriptions. Here's the link to the pdf - just change the number at the end for each issue (up to 26) http://www2.selu.edu/orgs/34skid/html/1.pdf

Toronto news outlets are just reporting that Peterson died at home in Mississauga, Ont., of kidney failure on Sunday night. Updates are coming.

I see youtube has "scheduled" maintenance @ 10pm. Perhaps didn't want to deal with the headache of a flood of Zep vids coming in?
