CHRISTMAS WITH McGRUFF McGRIFF:

Eggnog Pancakes with Cranberry Sauce!

Thanks Chuck. I'll spend some time with it this afternoon.

Thanks for the feedback on this. Pretty much under the impression that it was a bit stream-of-consciousness in style. Don't have much of a problem with someone telling their own stories - as long as, of course, it's genuinely interesting. I'll do a little more searching for reviews. Thanks!

Probably what happened is someone just filled in the track names, artists, etc on their disc and then uploaded the info to the CDDB (the source of iTunes lookup). Someone comes along with a disc with the same number of tracks and timings and voila!

Excellent idea! He puts up with us fer chrissakes!

I'm thinking of buying this. I'm wondering if it covers just the 80's and 90's of the Paris jazz scene. I'd like it more if it covered some of the earlier decades too, but I don't know if it does. Anyone had a chance to read it yet? Thanks, Rod

Thanks David for all the work you do with your show. Life begins at 40! (ghost of miles....):

Thanks for the suggestions. I hadn't really thought of the DVD/VHS combos because I've gotten used to doing those transfers thru a desktop setup. Could be easier, but I wonder how easy it is to actually edit the stuff tho... Anyway, I've put off getting this Panasonic unit that has a 400 GB HD. I figured the price would come down in a few months, but the Pansies have taken it off the market. That one and the other 2 or 3 top models of theirs are now gone and probably are to be found on eBay only. Maybe there's not much need for 400, 160, and/or 120 GB HDs. Some retailers have a bad habit of not updating their websites, so I've been getting "not-in-stock-anymore" answers from about 6 different places, so I'm at nearly square one again. Yes, the 14 hours on a disc idea is at very low resolution on double-sided discs. These companies tell you grand stories but they're based on the low end of the hardware. The 400 GB HD unit that I mentioned above can record 709 hours of stuff, but it'll look like VHS at EP setting. At various settings your single-sided disc will hold either 1/2/4/6 or 8 hours. Double-sided: 2/4/8/12/ and 16 hours (double-natch ) I've got a discount coupon, so off to Best Buy... Thanks for the suggestions!

Any updates that anyone would like to add? Doing a bit of shopping for a DVD/HD recorder.

Another strange trend that I've noticed lately is towards old-style biblical type names like Zacharia. (and why does the name Madonna produce a kind of breast shape?)

Here you go Lon. Lonson is not listed at all, but you can see "Lon" and it's other variations:

Type in a name. you can place your cursor to find out how popular your name was when you were born: Baby Name Wizard

Not really "procedure" - just courtesy. With the tea, it helps if you slow down too...

The "extra" version has valerian (and doesn't stink ). Drink it about an hour before bedtime. Knocks me right out.

Have you tried valerian or Sleepy Time tea?

Yeah, no prob. Seemed an obvious way to handle it. Hadn't seen the thread in question, but it would seem that if there were a lot of back-and-forth over a topic, then it'd be polite to ask, but I don't know the nature and/or length of the exchanges. oh well...my two centavos...

Click on the title while holding down your "control" button and you should have 5 options pop up. One of them is "Download Linked File." Highlight that and it should download immediately.

Yes, still. Jim dropped a note to tech, but maybe there's been no answer or results.

My drift/shift will happen October of 2008...but that's just fine with me.

Guinea became an independent country on my b-day...

Not if you're from the south.

Eugene's great. I like his playing and writing and sense of humor. That bathroom incident could've been worse. When I used to manage a band, he was the opening "band" one night. He was going to stay at my place, but when I found out that it was to include his wife and children, we made other arrangements. At the concert that night, he was using our speakers and promptly blew them out - big delay until new speakers could be found...
