haven't asked about the fuckwad, as I already found this definition in Funk and Wagnalls: "fuckwad - figure of speech originating in Florida; often found in reference to radio announcers and other voiceover artists who have had sex with local alligators"

in the latest Jazz Times Larry Coryell, in a Before and After, says some nice things about Beck -

1) what's an asshat? (I'm afraid to ask) 2) Friday was indeed a strange night - after running into Julianne Moore I landed at JFK and the first person I saw was John Quinones (he's on one of those news/magazine shows) - than, the next day, sitting in a coffee shop on Third Avenue, I see a guy who is a DOUBLE for Frank Zappa (circa 1970) - I told him so, and he told me he gets that a lot - 3) this jewel box thing is big, and it's growing - I heard Gould's writing a book about it - now, if I can only get Julianne to stop calling me........ or, maybe, START calling me....

"Between your comment and Lowe's....not the most compassionate folks I have seen." ahh, Berigan, if I only had your compassion for the poor and oppressed.... how's that Nobel Prize look up on the wall?

slug time -

I once had a boil lanced -

I would consider selling my music an honor as long as it went toward keeping Dick Cheney living well -

he grew a beard and got arrested in Serbia -

I'm still trying to find out who took my wallet - and don't blame Zoey!

I hope you stocked up -

what I don't understand is, why wasn't it called "Groovalansing" ?

I was wondering why she was always doing those Bogart impressions -

$$$$$ sent - I threw in a few extra bucks for the jewel case -

hmmmm....well, as long as you don't send it for DNA testing -

I thought Andorra was the mother on Bewitched -

changed his name to Buffy Smith -

well, as somebody used to say, "reality is for people who can't face drugs."

Jim - I was trying to order but when I go to the place to order it the music starts and I'm at work and everybody knows I'm not working; I don't mind not working but I don't want everyone to know I'm not working (since I'm so difficult and can't get any gigs according to one Organissimo member; so I gotta keep this gig) - can I order direct through paypal or should I just do it from home tonight?

just got back from NYC where I spent some interesting and enlightening time with Chris Albertson, Matt Shipp, Roswell Rudd, Marnie Stern, 7/4 and Julianne Moore - difficult times here on Organissimo, car accidents, motorcycle accidents, cancer, missing jewel boxes - hope everybody's ok - I'm tired, and it was about 100 degrees in NYC, where I walked everywhere to save cab fare; trying to shoot my film - things went well - in case anyone's wondering, I ran into Julianne Moore at Portland Airport, where she was taking her son home from camp - I was standing next to her on line at Starbucks; I said to her - "I know you're an actress, and I apologize, but I cannot think of your name." She was very gracious, though that didn't stop her from calling the cops when I tried to steal a pair of her underpants from her suitcase -

first concert I ever went to - Museum of Modern Art in the Garden, circa 1968 - saw James Moody with Dizzy's rhythm section - Candy Finch, forget the piano player's name, also forget the other guy's name- interestingly enough Moody, whom I love, did not play well that day -

Getz was a jerk; read the bio; Bill Evans' wife told me that on tour Getz used to try to pick up all the band members' wives - he also broke up Astrid Gilberto's marriage (no wonder she moved to Philadelphia) -

I'm not a big Getz fan, though he is somewhat tolerable in the '50s - to me he is one of those true narcissists whose narcissism comes across in almost all of his playing -

well, I'm looking around to donate my collection - if it's a good enough collection, and the particular library is truly serious, they won't discard it - though my particular collection comes with the Lowe curse -

maybe this time they'll tune the piano -
