jimi089 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Greetings, Not sure if this is the correct section for an introduction post but.... Since I already broke board decorum by trying to sell worthless 78s in one of my first posts, I figure I should probably introduce myself. Thanks for all your help and understanding with that faux pas, by the way. Here's the facts: My name is Dan but my friends call me Danimal (hence the alias). I was born and raised in Maine amongst the moose and lobster. I've been in Chicago ever since, having done time at some University in Hyde Park that was equal parts education and mental torture. I came of age musically in Chicago and the AACM, and specifically the Velvet Lounge was responsible for broadening my musical horizons. I spend most of my disposable income on live music and recordings. Which is why I found this place, as you all seem to share my interests. I look forward to reading, learning, and contributing. Thanks for your hospitality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie87 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 If you change your name to JazzLobster you can stay. (We already have a JazzMoose, sorry!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all your help and understanding with that faux pas, by the way. Well, I'll take those Mingus 78s and the Paul Bley one too.

jazzypaul Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hey Danimal, one of my buddies (also a Dan, btw) also goes by Danimal. Anyway, fellow Chicagoan here. If you ever want to hang at a show, lemme know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoGrubb Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I like that handle, Danimal. Yo, welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Welcome! And I'd think twice about changing your handle to JazzLobster, by the way, 'cause this is what those guys had in mind: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Welcome. Don't worry about how things started for you here. It's how things go from there that's important. As far as I'm concerned, someone who's reading George Lewis' book is someone whose posts are probably worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 When I first looked at the title of this thread, I thought it was about the Proper record label. Was going to post: There ain't nothing proper about Proper. Glad it's about what it's about, instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERIGAN Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Dammit!!!! Here I am, thinking I can make some funny remark with a photo of a proper set, and you HAD to beat me to the punch!!! You as well Paul.....grrrr....too many members as it is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
