just went back and read the aotw thread. not to get all nostalgic and sh!t, but those were the days. wish clem hadn't taken his comments with him. i found scott walker's music last year and would be interested to read whatever he said to ol' tx.

Thanks to a recommendation by Larry Kart, I've been enjoying and recommending this album often. Actually ran a 5k to it on Saturday.

I hope things improve quickly. In the meantime, as was said above, you can count on us for positive vibes.

i guess i got it the first time around then...

that's the joke?

I'll second the recommendation for the Schuller album, and not just for the accordion. I like this album a lot. What's up Tom! I don't get it?

Apple does not make hard drives. Their products usually use Hitachi. Apple has an external hard drive on the market called Time Capsule. It encases a Hitachi 1TB Deskstar. It suffers from the same issues that any hard drive is susceptible to. http://timecapsuledead.org/ No matter what your brand loyalty, back it up. I am currently using a Buffalo Linkstation Pro NAS which runs Linux. Windows PC and Macs read/write to it every day. *lovingly typed from a MBP.

Hope you're not relying on software to turn you on Bill!

ps if you think this is an apple vs windows issue, I have a 500gb Lacie triple interface bookend that I'll sell to the highest bidder. Only a year and a half old. I'm sure thousands of folks are now looking to unload their Apple Time Capsules before they hit that magic mark as well.

My advice: go now and purchase a RAID-capable NAS and transfer your data immediately. Don't let that external shut down again until it has been backed up completely! Once backed up, wipe the drive and reformat. You may be ok at that point, but a lot of folks would buy a new enclosure if it fails again. Often times, that will solve your problems. Depending on the value of the data, the expense is negligible. Good luck Maggie.

I may be off base here, but I see so many successful working bands in Richmond VA, playing creative music. The musicians are committed to each other (as a scene even). I feel like they all have common goals. Whether they are unspoken goals, I don't know. There is a certain level of respect. When someone is starting a new project, they hand-pick the band. They set up regular rehearsals, they set up gigs once the music is there. Some pay. Some don't. The music is still the most important result. I wonder if the lack of cooperation in this thread is due to a lack of respect or understanding of the music at hand? Leaders are choosing the wrong musicians. I know the laptop thing is sort of a joke, but if that dude is more musical and sympathetic to your vision than the disrespectful bassist, maybe worth looking at. The problem Allen had was a very shallow pool of musicians to choose from. Is that sort of the problem here too? If this particular bassist is in demand due to a lack of capable bassists, it sounds like he is choosing to play other music. Why? How well do you know him?

Happy birthday Guy! I seem to miss most bday threads somehow. Glad I caught this one so I can take the opportunity to thank you for recounting so many great experiences. Here's to another 70!

I have sworn off my gas grill for now. Late summer I bought a Weber Silver and a chimney and haven't turned back. Direct, indirect, smoke... fantastic results.

Didn't he have a rubber band stapled into his cheek?

Great story Ed! I know you're proud. Your son is fortunate to have such a supportive father.

Allen, I'm offended by your sensitivity.

Sounds like the imagination of Roald Dahl to me.

The world's a better place now that you're here Scarlett. Welcome, and don't sweat the small stuff.

Results have been spotty.

Shawns thread had me curious about my post count, so I checked my profile. I noticed a section called recent uploads. Each file showed the number of times each file was downloaded. This ? is probably for B F. 3-er or Use3D. What constitutes a download? A click or an actual download?
