Noodling is also quite specifically what jazz sounds like to those who don't get it - either temporarily or just in general... When people don't get Terry Riley or Wagner or Death Metal, they probably don't talk about noodling... Be all that as it may, what matters is that we don't lose further members to stupid discussions that got harsh just out of nothing

Co-sign. I have a brother and a friend who are Milwaukee fans, so I’m pulling for them to ultimately win it all, but I’d be happy to see Seattle come out on top as well. Anybody but the Dodgers.

Last night, Jonathan Fisher Quartet with Shelley Carrol at the Balcony Club.

The Agency on Paramount+. It's one of the more realistic spy shows I've watched, with budgetary implications on everything they do, which is unlike most any other spy show I've ever watched. Sometimes spy/CIA shows like this can get so convoluted, with conspiracies interlaced with more conspiracies topped with double agents to the point you can't figure out the good guys from the bad guys. This one seems a bit different, with those conspiracies and double agents running throughout and yet maintaining a decent story line that seems clear. Of course, I'm not done yet and they could throw a nutty curveball in the next episode. My wife & I like this show. It's better than the original Belgian version, HPI: Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (on Hulu), which seems to have a few of the police personnel being made into caricatures of a modern-day Barney Fife and has the main character do some really dumb things which a brilliant-minded person would probably not do.
