Yes, this is true to a certain extent, but I know that the way that I travel while overseas is much different than the way that I travel in Texas. Last month I paid €1.15/liter for fuel in Germany - after all of the math, it comes out to about $5.33/gal - but I only needed the car for half the time that I was there. Two weeks of not using a car couldn't happen here in Texas unless I was flat on my back with a herniated disc. Big US cities have public transport that people should/could be using, but people in, let's say, LA look at you CrAzY if you say that you're gonna walk somewhere...even if it's just to a restaurant down the street. Bicycles? Hell yes!

My 93 Corolla sits in front of the house with a For Sale sign. Gets almost the same mileage as yours - about 28-34 - and I'm hoping that someone who can't get a hybrid will consider mine. Filled up the new Prius yesterday and it cost $35... but I won't have to do that again for another month!

Man! 215(!) pages of... of... ...(I don't know yet...)

WOW too!

Well, this proves even more why this place is our best second home.

...to do what?

yes...but instead of "Catching Up With...", can we call it "Gettin' Down With"?

You can say that again! It does have a history and feel - i just wish there was more playing and less doodlin...(and less "let's kill whitey" too ) now, here's somethin' that's a snapshot of history:

I hear ya! OK, I'm adding them to the rodcast as we "speak"...

Hey Chris! This is a perfect chance to start a gig diary! Your first gig...and if you become big time, you'll be able to look back at the "early" days and share some wild stories - I seriously mean this!

Man, now I gotta get it out now! It's damn hard to go thru new stuff when the old ones keep callin' ya back!

Not sure what's still in print, but you're also getting over 20 previously unreleased recordings - so you can look at that as one CD worth of music of it's very own. J. J. would be a very honorable place to start your Mosaic habit!

Great LP, and it also sports one of the most eye-abusing Op Art LP covers ever designed. ← Yup! I think it's a Bridget Riley artwork?

Yup, bad sound quality just for the fanatical. You may want to avoid this one as well:

There's also an album from the Columbia Music of Our Time series that's conducted by Leonard Bernstein with pieces by Ligeti, Morton Feldman, and our very own UNT professor Larry Austin that has Ellis playing on it (and Barre Phillips too!)

The Ellis on Muza is legit 'cause I have it...somewhere. I used to really be into the Muza modern classical and discovered at the same time some of their jazz titles. Hokey covers - I think the word "jamboree" was used somewhere for the series titles, so you can imagine what they looked like!

Is that what they're calling it now?

Same here!

What's behind the Green Door?

Does she have a uvula?

YES!

Not anymore!

Hell, man - Who's on this CD anyway?

Hosea Canusee Mosaic?

Manny (er, or maybe "Moses")
