Bird In Igor's Yard came out on a Capitol reissue LP years ago, but it's nice to have it together with the band - interesting, as well, because, though DeFranco is a great player, he is not at Russell's level; like a fair number of moderm performances of that era that fall within advanced arrangements, it's a little jarring to hear a new sound come out of the arrangement, and than have the soloist play as though it were just any contemporary piece - but than, there were no real "free" improvisors at that time, Trisano et al nothwithstanding -

well, Kenny G DOES also appeal to transgender types -

I haven't listened to it in years and don't have a copy handy - as I recall the section comes after a series of sustained notes and is a very sudden rhyhmic change. I will try to locate a performance and report back -

well, as long as I can whistle the tunes afterwards...

the 32nd piano sonata has a rolling left hand that is amazingly like blues/boogie woogie - that's the one I'm referring to -

I keep trying to look up that dress, but I can't get my monitor to the right angle -

Michael Michael (an actual childhood friend of mine) John-John Bam-Bam

well, personally I like his Tenth - actually, has anyone here ever head the 32nd piano sonata? It's boogie woogie, and I kid you not -

well, I guess in the dark...

I like Flaubert, especially rthe short stories, and especially the one about the wet nurse -

you mean I just made a date with Johnny E?

well, wadaya expect from kids named Dweezil and Moonunit?

well, she's right that his playing WOULD make Bird cry - but who wouldn't?

I always confuse those two -

well, would you believe...Barbara Bush?

well, as the old saying goes - remember to keep the HA in Hanukah -

sorry you feel that way...

and I'm sorry that he's sorry...

oe thing that I have noticed with these digital multi-trackers is that, even though they have built in mixer/pre-amps, they sound MUCH better with even the simplest of external pre-amps -

I'd rather see him dead in Fresno - might be a little more fun - and might improve his playing -

my apologies...

well, I'm saving those for the post-nuclear world, when global warming and random missile attacks have killed everyone except for me and Pam Anderson. And than we will live happily with my little record player and will build us a new nuclear family and revive the recording industry in MY image -

there are quite a few stand alone digital 8 tracks now available on the market. One of these plus a good condenser microphone will take you way past cassette - check with Sweetwater Sound - good prices, easy to deal with, and good on returns -

I'm sorry I convinced George W. to run for president - but we were both so coked out of our heads, and he offered to make me Secretary of State and to let me be in charge of the interns...

please, not in front of all these other guys -
